[A Case of Intestinal Metastasis of Testicular Choriocarcinoma Revealed Through Gastrointestinal Bleeding].

A 26-year-old male presented to a hospital with complaints of hemoptysis and right scrotal swelling. Computed tomography (CT) revealed right testicular swelling, multiple lung metastases, and small intestinal wall thickening. The patient's β-human chorionic gonadotropin, alpha-fetoprotein, lactate dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin levels were 103.

Evaluation of the preventive effect of sublingual immunotherapy for pediatric bronchial asthma.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in preventing the exacerbation of asthma.

Methods: This retrospective study investigated the changes in the rate of continuous steroid inhalation introduced over three years due to SLIT in 328 patients aged 5-15 years who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019. These patients were not initially prescribed with continuous steroid inhalation.

Senescence-Associated T cells in Immunosenescence and Diseases.

Age-related changes in the immune system, referred to as immunosenescence, appear to evolve with rather paradoxical manifestations, a diminished adaptive immune capacity, and an increased propensity for chronic inflammation often with autoimmunity, which may underlie the development of diverse disorders with age. Immunosenescent phenotypes are associated with the emergence of unique lymphocyte subpopulations of both T and B lineages. We report that a CD153+ PD-1+ CD4+ T-cell subpopulation with severely attenuated T-cell receptor (TCR)-responsiveness, termed senescence-associated T (SAT) cells, co-evolve with potentially autoreactive CD30+ B cells, such as spontaneous germinal center B cells and age-associated B cells, in aging mice.

Japanese Diet Indices and Nutrient Density in US Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis with NHANES Data.

Background: Previous studies have shown that Japanese dietary patterns are associated with high nutrient density. However, these studies were limited to the Japanese population. We examined this association in the US population.

Long-term survival comparison of patients admitted to the intensive care unit following in-hospital cardiac arrest in perioperative and ward settings. A multicentre retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Perioperative in-hospital cardiac arrests (Perioperative IHCAs) may have better outcomes than IHCAs in the ward (Ward IHCAs), due to enhanced monitoring and faster response. However, quantitative comparisons of their long-term outcomes are lacking, posing challenges for prognostication.

Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included adult intensive care unit (ICU) admissions from theatre/recovery or wards with a diagnosis of cardiac arrest between January 2018 and March 2022.
