Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that predicts clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, including those with sepsis. Elderly patients have blunted and easily dysregulated host responses to infection, which may influence IL-6 kinetics and alter the association between IL-6 levels and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients aged ≥ 16 years who were admitted to the intensive care unit at Chiba University Hospital.

Background: Initial ED assessment can use early warning scores to identify and prioritise patients who need time-critical treatment. We aimed to determine the accuracy of the National Early Warning Score version 2 (NEWS2) for predicting the need for time-critical treatment.
Methods: We undertook a single-centre retrospective observational cohort study.

The risk of neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection from the mother's own milk (MoM) in neonates who are exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2 during the perinatal period remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review to assess the association between MoM feeding and neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection in neonates who were born to SARS-CoV-2-positive pregnant persons. PubMed Central and Google Scholar were searched for studies published by 14 March 2024 that reported neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection by feeding type.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effectiveness and safety profile of Eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, as prolonged therapy in refractory CTD-ITP patients.
Methods: We conducted a pilot observational study of Eltrombopag in CTD-ITP patients who were unresponsive to or intolerant of conventional medications. Eltrombopag was administered orally at 25-75 mg/qd and adjusted on the basis of tolerance and efficacy until a minimum dosage of 25 mg/qd was reached.

Background: Chronic pelvic pain is a common yet undertreated condition that significantly impacts quality of life for women worldwide. Digital exercise therapy designed to target pelvic pain can improve symptomology while reducing time and cost-related barriers to in-person clinical care.
Methods: This longitudinal, observational study of a digital women's pelvic health program examined pelvic pain, anxiety, and depression at 4 and 12 weeks in female adults experiencing chronic pelvic pain.
