Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative option for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have achieved remission. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare the efficacy of total body irradiation (TBI) versus chemotherapy (CHT) based regimens for conditioning in adult ALL patients being prepared for HSCT. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and relevant trial registries from their inception to August 2024.

Article Synopsis
- Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS) is a serious blood infection in newborns that can lead to severe complications like metabolic acidosis, which can result in life-threatening conditions.
- A study conducted at Children’s Hospital and Institute of Child Health Lahore analyzed 242 neonates diagnosed with EONS and found that 27.69% of them had metabolic acidosis, with no significant associations with factors like age or gender.
- The research highlights the importance of screening for metabolic acidosis in infants with EONS to ensure timely management and potentially reduce negative health outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the preoperative symptoms of appendicitis and cholecystitis, examining 224 participants to identify similarities and differences in their symptoms.* -
- Abdominal pain was the primary symptom in both groups, but additional symptoms differed: appendicitis patients commonly experienced vomiting and pain in the right iliac fossa, while cholecystitis patients showed tenderness and epigastric pain.* -
- Recognizing these varied symptoms is essential for accurately diagnosing and differentiating between appendicitis and cholecystitis before surgery.*
Emotion recognition holds great promise in healthcare and in the development of affect-sensitive systems such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, the high cost of labeled data and significant differences in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals among individuals limit the cross-domain application of EEG-based emotion recognition models. Addressing cross-dataset scenarios poses greater challenges due to changes in subject demographics, recording devices, and stimuli presented.
