Experentia Et Progressus: An Experiential Needs Assessment of Military Health care Providers in Treating Pediatric Combat Trauma.

Introduction: Children are among the most vulnerable populations affected by armed conflicts, yet there is limited data on the preparedness of military medical personnel to care for pediatric combat trauma casualties in austere or large-scale combat operations. This study aimed to assess the confidence, training needs, and resource requirements of military medical providers who have managed pediatric patients during deployment.

Materials And Methods: This IRB-exempt, cross-sectional mixed-methods study used a survey created via a modified Delphi method with input from subject matter experts.

Rituximab-IgG2 is a phagocytic enhancer in antibody-based immunotherapy of B-cell lymphoma by altering CD47 expression.

Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) by monocytes and macrophages contributes significantly to the efficacy of many therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including anti-CD20 rituximab (RTX) targeting CD20 B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). However, ADCP is constrained by various immune checkpoints, notably the anti-phagocytic CD47 molecule, necessitating strategies to overcome this resistance. We have previously shown that the IgG2 isotype of RTX induces CD20-mediated apoptosis in B-cell lymphoma cells and, when combined with RTX-IgG1 or RTX-IgG3 mAbs, can significantly enhance Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis.

Assessment of pulmonary nodules using [F]-FDG PET/CT in deep inspiration breath-hold.

Unlabelled: The characterization of pulmonary nodules (PN) is a primary indication for [F]-FDG PET/CT. However, respiratory movements hinder this characterization, especially for PN located in the lower lobes. Various methods have been developed to improve image resolution.

A Lexicon of Descriptive Sensory Terms for Peas ( L.): A Systematic Review.

Background: The popularity of peas ( L.) and pea-derived products is constantly growing globally and is estimated to continue to do so at an average annual rate of 12%. This is partially stimulated by the increase in the consumption of meat analogues and the popularisation of animal-protein-free diets.

Uremic Stomatitis: A Latin American Case Series and Literature Review.

Background: Uremic stomatitis is often unfamiliar to healthcare professionals. This study presents five cases of uremic stomatitis, providing a comprehensive analysis of their demographic distribution, clinicopathological features, and management strategies based on existing literature.

Methods: Data were collected from centers across Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and Mexico.
