Previable premature prelabor rupture of membranes (pPPROM) can lead to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Limited literature exists describing long-term outcomes in neonates surviving pPPROM. Our study describes 2-year survival and outcomes after expectantly managed pPPROM at a single, tertiary, academic center.

Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess alloimmunization rates in patients receiving red blood cells (RBCs) matched for standard ABO+D blood type versus those additionally matched for c, E, and Kell antigens (cEK).
  • Among the 10 studies analyzed, involving 91,221 transfused patients, those receiving cEK-matched RBCs had a significantly lower alloimmunization rate of 1.9% compared to 6.2% for ABO+D-only matching.
  • The findings suggest that implementing cEK matching protocols could reduce alloimmunization risks, particularly important for patients with reproductive potential under the age of 50, highlighting a need for routine testing in this demographic.

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S protein expression was examined in Vero cells by imaging using the human monoclonal antibody panel (PD4, PD5, sc23, and sc29). The PD4 and sc29 antibodies recognised conformational specific epitopes in the S2 protein subunit at the Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. While PD5 and sc23 detected conformationally specific epitopes in the S1 protein subunit at the Golgi complex, only PD5 recognised the receptor binding domain (RBD).

The American Society for Surgery of the Hand and British Society for Surgery of the Hand produce patient-focused information above the sixth-grade readability recommended by the American Medical Association. To promote health equity, patient-focused content should be aimed at an appropriate level of health literacy. Artificial intelligence-driven large language models may be able to assist hand surgery societies in improving the readability of the information provided to patients.
