Background: CD4 T cells play essential roles in adaptive immunity. Distinct CD4 T-cell subsets-T1, T2, T17, T22, T follicular helper, and regulatory T cells-have been identified, and their contributions to host defense and immune regulation are increasingly well defined. IL-9-producing T9 cells were first described in 2008 and appear to play both protective and pathogenic roles in human immunity.

- The study examines the impact of early exposure to Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) on medical students' ability to identify anatomical structures.
- It compares performance between a test group of first-year students who received DICOM training and a control group of second-year students without such training.
- Results show the test group scored significantly better on quizzes, indicating that early introduction to DICOM can enhance learning outcomes in radiologic interpretation.
Aim: Hepatic angiography procedures are essential in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with traditional transfemoral arterial (TFA) access being the traditional standard. Recently, transradial arterial (TRA) access has gained popularity, offering potential benefits. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare TRA and TFA access in hepatic angiography oncologic procedures for HCC.

The management of these injuries is an understudied and controversial topic, given its heterogeneity and lack of follow-up data.
Purpose: To characterize the management and follow-up of GSWs to the spine.
Background: Fibrin, von Willebrand factor, and extracellular DNA from neutrophil extracellular traps all contribute to acute ischemic stroke thrombus integrity.
Objectives: In this study, we explored how the proteomic composition of retrieved thromboemboli relates to susceptibility to lysis with distinct thrombolytics.
Methods: Twenty-six retrieved stroke thromboemboli were portioned into 4 segments, with each subjected to 1 hour of in vitro lysis at 37 °C in 1 of 4 solutions: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), tPA + von Willebrand factor-cleaving ADAMTS-13, tPA + DNA-cleaving deoxyribonuclease (DNase) I, and all 3 enzymes.
