Background: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is increasingly being used for microbial detection in various infectious syndromes. However, data regarding the use of mNGS in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) are lacking.
Objectives: To describe and analyze real-world clinical impact of mNGS using plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) in SOTR.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of leukocyte, NLR, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein as the markers of acute peritonitis in patients with HIV-infection.
Material And Methods: The study included 83 HIV-infected patients with various diseases complicated by acute peritonitis. Leukocytes, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein, as well as immune status and viral load were determined in peripheral blood before surgery.

Background: Acute abdominal pain (AAP) constitutes 5-10% of all emergency department (ED) visits, with appendicitis being a prevalent AAP etiology often necessitating surgical intervention. The variability in AAP symptoms and causes, combined with the challenge of identifying appendicitis, complicate timely intervention. To estimate the risk of appendicitis, scoring systems such as the Alvarado score have been developed.
