Article Synopsis
  • - This study examines whether the standard 4-hour observation period after a percutaneous liver biopsy can be safely reduced, based on data from 1125 patients between 2017 and 2022.
  • - Of the 275 complications noted, most were minor (grade 1), with significant complications occurring predominantly within the first 2 hours post-procedure, especially post-procedural pain and some cases of hemorrhage.
  • - The findings suggest that a 2-hour observation period may be sufficient since 94% of hemorrhages occurred within that timeframe, indicating a low risk of complications beyond that period.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of mild to severe pediatric TBI on the structural connectome. Children aged 8-14 years with trauma control (TC) injury (n = 27) were compared to children with mild TBI and risk factors for complicated TBI (mild , n = 20) or moderate/severe TBI (n = 16) at 2.8 years post-injury.

Maps of genetic interactions can dissect functional redundancies in cellular networks. Gene expression profiles as high-dimensional molecular readouts of combinatorial perturbations provide a detailed view of genetic interactions, but can be hard to interpret if different gene sets respond in different ways (called mixed epistasis). Here we test the hypothesis that mixed epistasis between a gene pair can be explained by the action of a third gene that modulates the interaction.
