Transthoracic Echocardiography for Central Venous Catheter Tip Positioning in Children: An Observational Study Using Transesophageal Echocardiography as Reference Method.

Department of Anesthesiology, Center of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany.
Background: Children who need to have major surgery or are critically ill often require the insertion of a central venous catheter (CVC). To avoid serious complications, it is important to correctly position the CVC tip at the junction of the distal superior vena cava and the right atrium (cavoatrial junction). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can be used to confirm the correct position of the CVC tip.

Konya Şehir Hastanesi, Konya, Turkey.
Background: Bleeding and thrombotic occlusion are complications of Central venous catheters. When selecting a catheter lock solution, factors such as bleeding, thrombotic occlusion, infection, and cost-effectiveness must be considered.
Methods: The study included 35 patients who used heparin as a locking solution and 35 patients who used 0.
Latent tuberculosis prevalence in healthcare workers in Laos: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) have a high risk of active infection, morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers are a group who have increased risk of infection and onward transmission to their patients and other susceptible individuals; however, LTBI is often undiagnosed, and individuals are asymptomatic. Interferon gamma release assays (IGRA) can detect evidence of TB infection in otherwise asymptomatic individuals and are a good indication of LTBI.

Intensive Care Unit, First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin, China.
Background: Risk factors for bloodstream infection in patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) remain unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to study the risk factors for BSI in patients admitted to ICUs for COVID-19.
Methods: A systematic search was performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to July 2024.

Alzheimers Dement

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Emerging evidence support the notion that loss of splicing repression by TDP-43, an RNA binding protein that was first implicated in ALS-FTD, underlies their pathogenesis. Previously, we showed that delivery of an AAV9 vector at early postnatal day expressing a fusion protein, termed CTR comprised of the N-terminal region of TDP-43 and an unrelated splicing repressor termed RAVER1 complemented the loss of TDP-43 in mice lacking TDP-43 in spinal motor neurons (ChAT-IRES-Cre;tardbp mice). To translate this potential therapeutic strategy to the clinic, it will be important to demonstrate benefit of such AAV delivery of CTR to motor neurons in adult mice.
