We report a case of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) associated with profound hypermagnesemia immediately after cementation of a novel magnesium-based cement in spine surgery. During T8 to T12 posterior instrumentation and decompression laminectomy for vertebral metastasis secondary to lung cancer, a 61-year-old Chinese woman developed sudden hypotension and went into PEA immediately after injection of a novel magnesium-based cement. Intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging did not show any notable cement extravasation.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence and progression of maculopathy in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT-Angiography (OCTA), and to identify clinical/laboratory risk factors for progression during follow-up.
Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination, including fundoscopy and macular SD-OCT/OCTA scans, was performed in consecutive SCD-patients (HbSS/HbSβ0/HbSβ+/HbSC genotype) during baseline and follow-up visits. SCR stage was based on fundoscopy instead of the Goldberg classification, since fluorescein angiography was not routinely used.

Department of Genetics and Genomics, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, 1 Gustave L. Levy Pl, Box 1498, New York, NY 10029, USA.
Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the presence of somatic mutations in myeloid and lymphoid malignancy genes in the blood cells of individuals without a hematologic malignancy. Inflammation is hypothesized to be a key mediator in the progression of CHIP to hematologic malignancy and patients with CHIP have a high prevalence of inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and characteristics of CHIP in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Background: Pain management is a crucial component of patient care that promotes relaxation, lowers complications, improves quality of life, and shortens hospital stays. Several studies assessed the nurses' pain management practices in Ethiopia. However, the findings of these studies are highly variable and inconsistent.
