Hemodialysis (HD) is a critical treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The effectiveness of conventional dialyzers used there could be compromised during extended use due to limited blood compatibility of synthetic polymeric membranes and sub-optimal dialyzer design. In fact, blood flow in the hollow fiber (HF) membrane could trigger inflammatory responses and thrombus formation, leading to reduced filtration efficiency and limiting therapy duration, a consequence of flowing the patients' blood through the lumen of each fiber while the dialysate passes along the inter-fiber space (IOF, inside-out filtration).

Tinea blepharociliaris is a rare dermatophyte infection affecting the eyelashes and eyelids, often misdiagnosed as blepharitis, eczema, or bacterial infection, leading to ineffective treatments and recurrent symptoms. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl with erythematous plaques and fine scaling on the eyelids and eyelashes, initially suspected to have facial tinea or contact dermatitis. Direct mycological examination confirmed the presence of fungal filaments and spores, with culture identifying as the causative organism.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures and one of the most well studied. Despite extensive research dedicated to ACLR, there is limited understanding of how chronic inflammatory systemic diseases (CIDs) such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus affect outcomes.
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of ACLR in cohorts of patients with and without CID.

Objective: To assess the adherence to the vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with immunoglobulin-G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and to evaluate the development of local and systemic adverse events (AEs) following vaccination. Additionally, to investigate the rate and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in IgG4-RD patients.
Methods: Patients with IgG4-RD in follow-up before the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were contacted by telephone and asked to answer an ad hoc questionnaire regarding their vaccination status against SARS-CoV-2 and related AEs following vaccination.

Tissue-resident memory CD8 T (T) cells provide protection from infection at barrier sites. In the small intestine, T cells are found in at least two distinct subpopulations: one with higher expression of effector molecules and another with greater memory potential. However, the origins of this diversity remain unknown.
