Background: Evans syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the simultaneous or sequential combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immunological thrombocytopenia, together with a positive direct antiglobulin test. This syndrome, which can be primary or secondary, is a rare initial manifestation of autoimmune diseases, notably systemic lupus erythematosus, with 1.7-2.

Background: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is detrimental to cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk, which can begin in young adulthood. To devise effective SB-CMD interventions in young adults, it is important to understand which context-specific SB (CS-SB) are most detrimental for CMD risk, the lifestyle behaviours that cluster with CS-SBs and the socioecological predictors of CS-SB.
Methods And Analysis: This longitudinal observational study will recruit 500 college-aged (18-24 years) individuals.

Owing to the ability of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) to control the propagation environment in their vicinity, they have emerged as an appealing solution to enhance the performance of next-generation wireless networks. While the effectiveness of RISs with complete channel state information (CSI) is well-documented, their performance with limited user information remains less explored. This is particularly pronounced when an RIS interferes with nodes in a potentially non-cooperating network, making CSI acquisition challenging.

Unlabelled: This article reports a rare case of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) found in a patient with thyroid cancer after surgery.
Methods: The patient was initially misdiagnosed with brain metastases, and the diagnosis of PCNSL was later confirmed by pathology.
Results: The analysis of this case and review of the relevant literature explores the possible mechanisms of the coexistence of thyroid cancer and PCNSL, as well as their diagnostic, differential diagnostic, and therapeutic challenges.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy characterized by right precordial ST-segment elevation. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with BrS in Hong Kong.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at the only tertiary pediatric cardiology center in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2022, including all pediatric BrS patients under 18 years old.
