"Multi-stage" search strategies have become widely accepted for peptide identification and are implemented in a number of available software packages. We describe limitations of these strategies for validation and decoy-based statistical analyses and demonstrate these limitations using a set of control sample spectra. We propose a solution that corrects the statistical deficiencies and describe its implementation using the open-source software X!Tandem.

Dilemma in prevention of pertussis infection among infants under six months in China.
Expert Rev Vaccines
January 2025
Department of Expanded Program on Immunization, Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing, China.
Introduction: Pertussis poses a significant threat to infants under six months due to their immature immune systems, limited maternal antibody protection, and constraints in the vaccination schedule. Despite vaccination efforts, this group remains highly susceptible to severe complications. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving the health outcomes of infants in China.

Department of Geriatrics, Zhongshan Hospital Xiamen University, Fujian, People's Republic of China.
Introduction: What interventions effectively prevent postoperative stenosis following endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial esophageal cancer? This study aimed to identify effective interventions or combinations through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Methods: Six databases were systematically searched for eligible studies up to 30 April 2023, on interventions to prevent esophageal stenosis post-ER. Odds ratios (ORs) evaluated stenosis rate (primary outcome) and complications (secondary outcome), while mean differences (MD) evaluated endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) sessions post-stenosis.
Masquelet's induced membrane technique in the upper limb: a systematic review of the current outcomes.
J Orthop Traumatol
January 2025
Unità Operativa di Ortopedia e Traumatologia, APSS Trento, Largo Medaglie d'oro, 9, 38121, Trento, Italy.
Background: The Masquelet induced membrane technique is a surgical procedure that allows the reconstruction of segmental bone defects using a relatively simple approach that requires minimal resources from both the healthcare facility and the patient. Historically applied to the lower limb, this technique is gaining increasing attention in the literature for its use in the upper limb.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify all studies reporting the outcomes of the Masquelet induced membrane technique in the long bones of the upper limb (humerus, radius, and ulna) with a sample size of at least 3 patients.
Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Effectiveness of Whole-school Interventions Promoting Mental Health and Preventing Risk Behaviours in Adolescence.
J Youth Adolesc
January 2025
School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Adolescence is a vulnerable period for the onset of mental disorders and risk behaviours. Based on the Health-Promoting Schools Framework, whole-school interventions offer a promising strategy in this developmentally-sensitive cohort, through championing a systems-based approach to promotion and prevention that involves the key stakeholders in an adolescent's life. The evidence-base surrounding the effectiveness of whole-school interventions, however, remains inconclusive, partly due to the insufficient number of studies in previous meta-analyses.

Surg Infect (Larchmt)
January 2025
Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Norwich, United Kingdom.
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major challenge for surgical teams and patients following an orthopedic surgical procedure. There is limited understanding on patient and health professional's perception of PJI. The aim of this study was to examine the literature to better understand the perspectives of patients, and those who manage PJI.
