This study utilized a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to investigate the genetic variations linked to the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients who have undergone liver transplantation (LT), aiming to enhance understanding and improve clinical outcomes. Genotyping performed on a selected patients from the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry (KOTRY) data using high-throughput platforms with the Axiom Korea Biobank array 1.1.

- Nine-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccines can be given in two doses, and this study explores the effects of extending the time between doses beyond the typical 6 to 12 months.
- The study involved 146 adolescents who received their second 9vHPV dose between 12 to 53 months after the first dose, and results showed that antibody levels increased significantly after the second dose, with all participants showing a positive response a month later.
- Adverse events were mostly mild, such as injection site reactions, and no serious side effects were reported, suggesting that longer intervals between doses are safe and effective for the 9vHPV vaccination.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates bleeding complications in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who receive extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), using data from a multicenter registry, the SAVE-J II study.
- A total of 1,632 adult OHCA patients were analyzed, with 22.1% experiencing bleeding complications, primarily at cannulation sites, within the first two days of admission, necessitating interventions in about 21.9% of these cases.
- Key risk factors identified include low platelet counts, indicating that patients with lower platelet levels are significantly more prone to bleeding during the initial admission period.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined fetal radiation exposure in pregnant women with trauma, focusing on how different injury assessments impact radiation doses to the fetus.
- Conducted in multiple hospitals, the research assessed cumulative radiation doses in 54 pregnant women, finding that most underwent whole-body CT scans, which led to a median fetal dose of 38 mGy, below the 100 mGy safety threshold.
- Results showed lower maternal mortality (6%) compared to fetal mortality (17%), indicating that a selective imaging strategy can be safe in skilled medical settings for specific cases of trauma.
How individuals perceive and cope with stressful situations may determine their level of anxiety or depression. The identification of coping strategies (CS) in pregnancy could help prevent depression and anxiety (D&A), and their consequent effects on the health of the mother and the baby. A cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was conducted to identify the CS most commonly used by pregnant women in a Spanish population and to evaluate the association of these CS with D&A.
