We developed pISA-tree, a straightforward and flexible data management solution for organisation of life science project-associated research data and metadata. pISA-tree was initiated by end-user requirements thus its strong points are practicality and low maintenance cost. It enables on-the-fly creation of enriched directory tree structure (project/Investigation/Study/Assay) based on the ISA model, in a standardised manner via consecutive batch files. Templates-based metadata is generated in parallel at each level enabling guided submission of experiment metadata. pISA-tree is complemented by two R packages, pisar and seekr. pisar facilitates integration of pISA-tree datasets into bioinformatic pipelines and generation of ISA-Tab exports. seekr enables synchronisation with the FAIRDOMHub repository. Applicability of pISA-tree was demonstrated in several national and international multi-partner projects. The system thus supports findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) research and is in accordance with the Open Science initiative. Source code and documentation of pISA-tree are available at https://github.com/NIB-SI/pISA-tree .

Point-of-care ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatic gas gangrene.

J Ultrasound

January 2025

Argentinian Critical Care Ultrasonography Association (ASARUC), Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Hepatic gas gangrene (HGG) is a rare but life-threatening condition typically caused by anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens, though Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species have also been implicated. Traditionally diagnosed via computed tomography (CT), point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable tool in critical care settings for its non-invasive, bedside utility. We report the case of a 51-year-old female with choledochal syndrome secondary to cholangiocarcinoma who developed HGG following left extended hepatectomy and biliary reconstruction.

Pros and cons of surgical versus conservative management for head and neck paraganglioma: a real-world data analysis.

Endocrine

January 2025

Centro di Ricerca e Innovazione sulle Patologie Surrenaliche, AOU Careggi, Florence, Italy.

Purpose: To compare functional deficits associated to surgery with those caused by the growth of the head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs).

Methods: 72 patients with HNPGLs were included. Patients were divided in group A (49 patients undergoing surgery) and group B (23 patients following a wait and see approach).

Anthropogenic disturbances degrade ecosystems, elevating the risk of emerging infectious diseases from wildlife. However, the key environmental factors for preventing tick-borne disease infection in relation to host species, landscape components, and climate conditions remain unknown. This study focuses on identifying crucial environmental factors contributing to the outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a tick-borne disease, in Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to increase knowledge and awareness of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review.

Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry

January 2025

Deakin Health Economics, School of Health and Social Development, Faculty of Health, Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC, Australia.

Various interventions, including caregiver education, psychoeducation, teacher and clinician training and behavioral management embedded with education, are available to enhance awareness and knowledge among caregivers, teachers, and clinicians. This review synthesizes evidence on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to increase ADHD awareness and knowledge for caregivers, clinicians, and teachers. Peer-reviewed literature was identified through the systematic searches of six databases: MEDLINE Complete, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL Complete, ERIC, Global Health and EconLit.

Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is a rare but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Determining how to conduct surgical repair safely is critical. We compared the outcomes of Impella and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation during perioperative mechanical circulatory support management in patients with PIVSR (n = 22).
