Background: The armamentarium of medical therapies to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to grow, which has expanded treatment options, particularly after first biologic failure. Currently, there are limited studies investigating the predictive value of first biologic primary non-response (PNR) on subsequent biologic success. Our objective was to determine if PNR to the first biologic for IBD is predictive of response to subsequent biologic therapy.

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can reduce the need for intubation in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), but predictors of HFNC success could be characterized better. C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer are associated with COVID-19 severity and progression. However, no one has evaluated the use of serial CRP and D-dimer ratios to predict HFNC success.

The knowledge of diffusion mechanisms in materials is crucial for predicting their high-temperature performance and stability, yet accurately capturing the underlying physics like thermal effects remains challenging. In particular, the origin of the experimentally observed non-Arrhenius diffusion behavior has remained elusive, largely due to the lack of effective computational tools. Here we propose an efficient ab initio framework to compute the Gibbs energy of the transition state in vacancy-mediated diffusion including the relevant thermal excitations at the density-functional-theory level.

Background: Purulent meningitis (PM) is a commonly encountered infectious condition in newborns, which unfortunately can result in infant mortality. Newborns with PM often present nonspecific symptoms. The success of lumbar puncture, an invasive test, relies on the operator's expertise.

Purpose: To validate the Axillary Reverse Mapping (ARM) technique with indocyanine green (ICG), focusing on the detection rate and the procedure's feasibility. The predictive factors for metastatic involvement of ARM nodes are also analyzed to define the target population for ARM indication.

Methods: This prospective, observational, non-randomized study of patients with breast cancer included patients with an indication for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) performed between June 2021 and June 2023.
