Article Synopsis
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis with Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab has effectively reduced COVID-19 risks in immunocompromised patients, but its efficacy is limited against the Kraken variant (XBB.1.5).
- A study involving kidney transplant patients on this treatment showed only one asymptomatic infection during a six-month follow-up, with no hospitalizations or COVID-related deaths.
- The results suggest Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab may still be a beneficial preventive option for immunocompromised individuals, underlining the need for further clinical research on this topic.
The family of BiS-based superconductors has attracted considerable attention since their discovery in 2012 due to the unique structural and electronic properties of these materials. Several experimental and theoretical studies have been performed to explore the basic properties and the underlying mechanism for superconductivity. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of pairing symmetry in BiS-based superconductors and particularly the role of point-contact spectroscopy in unravelling the mechanism underlying the superconducting state.

Thus, the review overviews current advancements in solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology, specifically focusing on its application in co-electrolysis processes to produce syngas with different H:CO ratios, essential for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It emphasizes the potential of integrating partial methane oxidation reaction into the electrolysis process.

Objective: To establish unified international guidelines for the management of acneiform rash caused by EGFR inhibitors, based on an experts' Delphi consensus.
Methods: The initiative was led by five members of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Task Force 'Dermatology for Cancer Patients' who developed a questionnaire that was circulated to a group of 32 supportive oncodermatology experts in Europe, Canada, Argentina, the US States and Asia.
Coding rules for uncertain and "ruled out" diagnoses in ICD-10 and ICD-11.
BMC Med Inform Decis Mak
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The ICD-11 improves upon previous versions by simplifying the coding of complex clinical documentation, particularly for uncertain and "ruled out" diagnoses.
- The paper highlights significant variations in how countries currently handle coding practices for unconfirmed diagnoses under ICD-10, leading to inconsistencies.
- While ICD-11 introduces better guidance and expanded coding options for challenging diagnoses, there is still a need for clearer definitions of terms like "provisional diagnosis" and "differential diagnosis."
