Organ failure (OF) is a sinister development in the clinical course of acute pancreatitis, and its prediction is crucial for triaging the patient. Persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome and raised interleukin-6 levels have a good predictive accuracy. Pathophysiology involves the release of damage-associated molecular patterns as a consequence of pancreatic injury, recruitment of inflammatory cells, and the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines causing cytokine storm.

Background: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for various hematological malignancies. However, it is associated with a range of hematologic complications, including severe and often prolonged thrombocytopenia. Currently, there are no known effective preventative or management measures against CAR-T-induced thrombocytopenia.

Background: Fingolimod and ocrelizumab are approved treatments for adults with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, only fingolimod is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of pediatric MS. Currently, there are limited data for the safety and efficacy of ocrelizumab use in children.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with relapsing-remitting MS who started either ocrelizumab or fingolimod before age 18 years.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the image quality of a commercial CT scanner equipped with a novel detector and filtration technology called PureVision Optics (PVO).
Methods: CT number, noise, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), modulation transfer function (MTF), and noise power spectrum (NPS) were assessed using the ACR CT Accreditation phantom scanned with various acquisitions at 80 kV, 100 kV, 120 kV, and 135 kV, each with multiple CTDIvol values of 20 mGy, 40 mGy, and 65 mGy. Artifacts were evaluated in an anthropomorphic head phantom, a cadaver head, and in patient studies.
