Background: There is uncertainty about whether piperacillin/tazobactam (PT) increases the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without concomitant use of vancomycin. This study compared the risk of hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI) among adults treated with PT or antipseudomonal β-lactams (meropenem, ceftazidime) without concomitant use of vancomycin.

Methods: This real-world study analysed the data from China Renal Data System and assessed the risk of HA-AKI in adults hospitalized with infection after exposure to PT, meropenem or ceftazidime in the absence of concomitant vancomycin. The primary outcome was any stage of HA-AKI according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. A multi-variable Cox regression model and different propensity score (PS) matching models were used.

Results: Among the 29,441 adults [mean (standard deviation) age 62.44 (16.84) years; 17,980 females (61.1%)] included in this study, 14,721 (50%) used PT, 9081 (31%) used meropenem and 5639 (19%) used ceftazidime. During a median follow-up period of 8 days, 2601 (8.8%) develped HA-AKI. The use of PT was not associated with significantly higher risk of HA-AKI compared with meropenem [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97-1.19], ceftazidime (aHR 1.09, 95% CI 0.92-1.30) or both agents (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 0.97-1.17) after adjusting for confounders. Results were consistent in stratified analyses, PS matching using logistic regression or random forest methods to generate a PS, and in an analysis restricting outcomes to AKI stage 2-3.

Conclusions: Without concomitant use of vancomycin, the risk of AKI following PT therapy is comparable with that of meropenem or ceftazidime among adults hospitalized with infection.

Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

Background: Given the increasing recognition of the value of greater integration of physical and mental health services for children and young people, we aimed to evaluate preferences among parents for the characteristics associated with integrated health service provision for two conditions (eating disorders, functional symptom disorders).

Methods: Two discrete choice experiments (DCEs) were conducted, using electronic surveys. Participants were adult parents of children and young people.

Background: Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a common, yet highly efficient, cellular immunotherapy for lymphoma. However, many recent studies have reported on its cardiovascular (CV) toxicity. This study analyzes the cardiotoxicity of CD19 CAR T cell therapy in the treatment of lymphoma for providing a more valuable reference for clinicians.

Background: Sequential CD19 and CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy offers a promising approach to antigen-loss relapse in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL); however, research in adults remains limited.

Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential CD19 and CD22 CAR-T cell therapy in adult patients with R/R B-ALL between November 2020 and November 2023 (ChiCTR2100053871). Key endpoints included the adverse event incidence, overall survival (OS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS).

Background: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome worldwide, and its early identification and intervention have important clinical significance. Resistance training has been recommended as an efficient means to combat loss of muscle strength and mass; however, it is often not a prioritized option for older adults. Tai chi is a well-known traditional Chinese exercise that has a beneficial impact on physical performance, balance ability, metabolism, and immune function.
