Aim: Detection in burn patients of markers of sepsis development, its complications and outcome.
Materials And Methods: Sera IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-8, IL-1beta, IL-Ra, IL-18, INF-gamma, IL-10 and sTREM-1 cytokine levels of burn patients at days 3-6 and 10-17 after the burn were studied.
Results: Statistically significant cytokine parameters in blood sera that already at the early stages of the burn disease may be markers of the course severity and sepsis outcome were obtained. At day 3-6 after the injury high level of IL-10 in blood sera may act as a lethal outcome marker in burn patients, and by day 10-17 after the burn high level of IL-6 becomes determinative. Low level of IL-1beta may serve as a marker of complicated course of sepsis in patients with favorable outcome already at days 3-6 after the injury.
Conclusion: Certain laboratory parameters of human organism homeostasis destabilization may be used as markers of sepsis development, its complications and outcome already in the initial period of burn disease in severe thermal injuries.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales infection and colonization in patients with severe burns: a retrospective cohort study in a single burn center.
Antimicrob Resist Infect Control

Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, 222, Banpo-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Clinical characteristics and outcomes of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infection and colonization have rarely been reported in patients with severe burns, who are prone to severe bacterial infections. This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of CRE infection and colonization in patients with severe burns.
Methods: The characteristics of 106 episodes of CRE acquisition (infection or colonization) in 98 patients with severe burns were evaluated by a retrospective medical record review.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to examine the demographic data and clinical features of ocular surface injuries due to thermal burns and to evaluate LSCD in the light of global consensus.
Methods: Thirty-three eyes of 20 cases with ocular surface injury due to thermal burn who attended to the clinic between 2012 and 2023 were included in the study. LSCD severity was staged according to the global consensus which was published in 2019.
Filipinos and Parkinson's disease: A scoping review of the literature.

The Queen's Medical Center, 1301 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA; University of Hawai'i at Manoa, John A. Burns School of Medicine, 651 Ilalo Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA.
Background: Filipinos are the third largest sub-group of Asian Americans in the United States and have greater socioeconomic and health disparities than many other Asian sub-groups [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. Characteristics of Filipino patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been adequately studied.
Objective: To scope the extent, range and nature of current knowledge on PD in Filipino-American (FA) patients in contrast to Filipino patients in general.
Diagnostic Decision-Making Variability Between Novice and Expert Optometrists for Glaucoma: Comparative Analysis to Inform AI System Design.
JMIR Med Inform
January 2025
Department of Systems Design Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Background: While expert optometrists tend to rely on a deep understanding of the disease and intuitive pattern recognition, those with less experience may depend more on extensive data, comparisons, and external guidance. Understanding these variations is important for developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can effectively support optometrists with varying degrees of experience and minimize decision inconsistencies.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to identify and analyze the variations in diagnostic decision-making approaches between novice and expert optometrists.
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identified Novel Blood Tissue Gene Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Risk.
Prostate
January 2025
Cancer Epidemiology Division, Population Sciences in the Pacific Program, University of Hawaii Cancer Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Objective: A number of susceptibility genes in prostate tissue have been identified to be associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk. However, the reported genes based on assessing prostate tissue could not fully explain PCa genetic susceptibility. It is believed that genes functioning in the immune system may fill in the gap of some missing heritability.
