Objective: Our study aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of using MRI in diagnosing various shoulder pain-related conditions among patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital.
Methods: 383 patients who were admitted to King Abdulaziz University Hospital and had shoulder magnetic resonance imaging between January 2020 and July 2024 were studied retrospectively. The dataset was subjected to a thorough statistical analysis using descriptive and inferential approaches.
Background: Existing research presents conflicting results on the influence of blood donor sex on hemoglobin (Hb) change and transfusion-associated infection and mortality in transfusion recipients.
Aim: This retrospective study explored the association between donor and recipient sex on hospital-onset sepsis (HO-sepsis) and Hb changes in critically ill patients receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.
Methods: Data from 2010-2020 were extracted from an academic hospital's clinical database and a blood supplier's donor database.

Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA.
Background: Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV8) can present with cutaneous or extracutaneous manifestations. While violaceous skin lesions characterize cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma, extracutaneous HHV8 is challenging to diagnose due to nonspecific symptoms.
Objectives: We evaluated the role of microbial cell-free DNA next-generation sequencing (mcfDNA NGS) in diagnosing HHV8-related illness.
