Objective: This study aimed to analyze the antimicrobial resistance profiles, clinical characteristics and risk factors of bacteremia caused by complex (ECC) strains.
Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical data from patients diagnosed with ECC bacteremia between 2013 and 2022 in a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu. Subgroup analyses were performed based on multidrug resistance (MDR), nosocomial acquisition, polymicrobial bacteremia, and mortality.
Background: Existing research presents conflicting results on the influence of blood donor sex on hemoglobin (Hb) change and transfusion-associated infection and mortality in transfusion recipients.
Aim: This retrospective study explored the association between donor and recipient sex on hospital-onset sepsis (HO-sepsis) and Hb changes in critically ill patients receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.
Methods: Data from 2010-2020 were extracted from an academic hospital's clinical database and a blood supplier's donor database.
Background And Aims: Red blood cell transfusions are often used to treat iron-deficient patients in the emergency department (ED), while treatment with intravenous (IV) iron is preferred, as it increases hemoglobin concentration rapidly and durably. We aim to evaluate the incidence of iron deficiency anemia, frequency of blood transfusion and iron supplementation, and factors associated with blood transfusion in the ED.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients presenting to the St.
Hemoglobin H (HbH) disease is associated with anemia, ineffective erythropoiesis, and iron overload. We report a case of a patient with HbH/Hb Constant Spring disease, who was maintained on chronic transfusions as an adult due to symptomatic anemia. Over time, he developed iron overload and was started on chelation therapy but did not have an adequate response to chelation.

Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common and potentially fatal medical emergency. This study aimed to investigate the frequency, causes, outcomes, and efficacy of endoscopy in the treatment of UGIB at King Fahad Central Hospital in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2023, a retrospective study was performed including all hospitalized patients with UGIB.
