Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses positive pressure to assist people with respiratory muscle weakness or severe respiratory compromise to breathe. Most people use this treatment during sleep when breathing is most susceptible to instability. The benefits of using NIV in motor neurone disease (MND) are well-established.

Background: Pediatric CNS infections have been identified as a global health problem, associated with an increased death rate and fatal consequences. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase mediator that increases in body fluids and plasma throughout inflammation. Our study was designed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PTX3 levels in pediatric patients with different central nervous system (CNS) infections.

Background: Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have facilitated the creation of mortality prediction models which are increasingly used to assess quality of care and inform clinical practice. One open question is whether a hospital should utilize a mortality model trained from a diverse nationwide dataset or use a model developed primarily from their local hospital data.

Objective: To compare performance of a single-hospital, 30-day all-cause mortality model against an established national benchmark on the task of mortality prediction.

Suspected adverse reactions following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) treatment include more and more cases of secondary T-cell malignancies. The causality assessment of such suspected reactions challenges established evaluation practices due to (i) patient and product-specific risk factors and (ii) incomplete data available with post-marketing reports submitted to competent authorities. This is of particular relevance for gene therapy products that integrate into the host genome.

Background: The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not fully understood. Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) modulates inflammation and apoptosis through the NF-kB signaling pathway, however, its specific role in ischemic AKI remains unclear.

Methods: We injected a TAX1BP1 overexpression plasmid into the tail vein of male C57BL/6 mice, followed by clamping the bilateral renal arteries to induce AKI.
