We present three cases of pediatric patients with thrombocytopenia-associated multiple organ failure and the evidence for providing extracorporeal organ support. All three patients had severe cardiac dysfunction, respiratory failure, and acute kidney injury treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, continuous renal replacement therapy, and plasma exchange. Despite the presence of multiple organ failure and high risk of mortality, all three patients survived with minimal long-term sequelae.

Heat stress has been proven to cause negative effects on livestock leading to lower productivity and economic value. Understanding how heat stress manifests within an animal's body is the first step in devising a heat stress mitigation strategy; transcriptomic studies are one of the methods used. Here, using a systematic literature review methodology, we examine the recent decade of transcriptomics' application to the study of livestock adaptation.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic respiratory disease that can lead to the development of various other conditions. Although genetic risk loci associated with AR have been reported, the connections between these loci and AR comorbidities or other diseases remain unclear.
Methods: This study conducted a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) using known AR risk loci to explore the impact of known AR risk variants on a broad spectrum of phenotypes.

The atypical expression of immune phenotypes in lymphoma is often associated with a poor prognosis and presents diagnostic challenges. The present study reports on a rare extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. In addition to typical morphology and immunohistochemical characteristics, these tumors strongly express CD20 and CD30 and partially express CD15, which is associated with aggressive clinical behavior.

Background: The increasing availability of sequenced genomes has enabled comparative analyses of various organisms. Numerous tools and online platforms have been developed for this purpose, facilitating the identification of unique features within selected organisms. However, choosing the most appropriate tools can be unclear during the initial stages of analysis, often requiring multiple attempts to match the specific characteristics of the data.

Macrophages exhibit diverse phenotypes depending on environment status, which contribute to physiological and pathological processes of immunological diseases, including sepsis, asthma, multiple sclerosis and colitis. The alternative activation of macrophages is tightly regulated to avoid excessive activation and damage of tissues and organs. Certain works characterized that succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) altered function of macrophages and promoted inflammatory response in M1 macrophages via mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).
