Increased circulating histones correlate with sepsis severity and are a potential therapeutic target. Pre-clinical studies showed benefit with a histone-neutralizing polyanion molecule (STC3141). We aimed to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of STC3141 in critically ill patients with sepsis.

- Primary bone lymphoma of the spine (PBL) is a rare condition that can be misdiagnosed due to its similarities with infections and other diseases.
- The case involves a woman in her sixties with chronic low back pain and cruralgia, leading to various imaging tests that suggested spondylodiscitis but ultimately identified aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
- This case emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing PBL, as both PBL and infections display similar symptoms and imaging characteristics, making accurate differentiation essential for proper treatment.
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) represents a common form of fungal infection caused by various species of that most frequently affect immunocompromised patients. Typically, this disease occurs preferentially in high-risk groups including patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), patients with leukemia, patients with autoimmune diseases, and organ transplant patients undergoing medical immunosuppression. Considered the second most common cause of opportunistic fungal infection in humans after , this pathogen predominantly affects the lungs, but it may also spread by a hematogenous route to various organs and have a heterogeneous presentation.

- TAFRO syndrome is a rare disease with symptoms like low blood platelets, swelling all over, fever, changes in bone marrow, and swollen organs.
- It was first identified in Japan in 2010, and doctors aren't sure exactly what causes it, but it can be linked to various health issues.
- A recent case showed that using a special scan called 18F-FDG-PET/CT can help diagnose and manage this syndrome better.
