Article Synopsis
- The systematic review investigates Tuberculosis-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (TB-HLH), focusing on its epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment outcomes, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management due to the interplay of both conditions.!* -
- The review analyzed 185 articles with 213 patients, finding a 39% overall mortality rate, with older age and comorbidities linked to higher mortality risks; dual treatment with anti-tuberculosis therapy and HLH-specific therapies reduced mortality compared to anti-tuberculosis therapy alone.!* -
- The study emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment of TB-HLH in at-risk populations, stating that future research should aim for multicenter studies to establish
Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections. The emergence of antibiotic resistance in this pathogen poses a significant public health challenge. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies conducted in Iran to determine the frequency of key antibiotic resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their association with multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strains or pandrug-resistant strains.

Objective: The optimal agent for thromboprophylaxis following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains unclear, particularly in patients with a low baseline risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). This retrospective cohort study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of aspirin versus low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) in this specific patient population.
Methods: We analyzed data from patients who underwent ACLR between March 2016 and March 2021, focusing on those with a low risk for VTE.
The Human monkeypox virus (mpox) belongs to the Poxviridae family, characterized by double-stranded DNA. A 2022 outbreak, notably prevalent among men who have sex with men, was confirmed by the World Health Organization. To understand shifting prevalence patterns and clinical manifestations, we conducted a systematic review of recent animal and human studies.

This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal uric acid levels among different kinds of glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutations and to compare it among sporadic PD, genetic cohort Parkinson's disease (GENPD), genetic cohort unaffected (GENUN), and healthy control (HC) patients.
Methods: We conducted a study on 654 individuals from the Parkinson's progression markers initiative (PPMI) database.
