Diagnosing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is challenging due to heterogeneity in interpreting current clinical criteria. Recently, the Mount Sinai Acute GvHD International Consortium (MAGIC) criteria were introduced to improve diagnostic consistency. In a study of 117 pediatric patients undergoing HSCT, the modified Glucksberg and the MAGIC criteria were retrospectively compared. The MAGIC criteria identified significantly more cases of gastrointestinal (GI) aGvHD and increased overall severity, important for guiding systemic treatment. Diagnosing upper GI aGvHD based solely on symptomatology (MAGIC) proved difficult, suggesting a need for stricter definitions. For lower GI aGvHD, the modifications were clearly beneficial, although diarrhea duration remains unspecified.

Purpose: The objective of this systematic review is to present a comprehensive summary of existing research on the use of 3D printing in spinal surgery.
Methods: The researchers conducted a thorough search of four digital databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase) to identify relevant studies published between January 1999 and December 2022. The review focused on various aspects, including the types of objects printed, clinical applications, clinical outcomes, time and cost considerations, 3D printing materials, location of 3D printing, and technologies utilized.
High-Flow Nasal Oxygen vs Noninvasive Ventilation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure: The RENOVATE Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA
December 2024
Hcor Research Institute, São Paulo, Brazil.
Importance: High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) are commonly used respiratory support therapies for patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF).
Objective: To assess whether HFNO is noninferior to NIV on the rates of endotracheal intubation or death at 7 days in 5 patient groups with ARF.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This noninferiority, randomized clinical trial enrolled hospitalized adults (aged ≥18 years; classified as 5 patient groups with ARF: nonimmunocompromised with hypoxemia, immunocompromised with hypoxemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] exacerbation with respiratory acidosis, acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema [ACPE], or hypoxemic COVID-19, which was added as a separate group on June 26, 2023) at 33 hospitals in Brazil between November 2019 and November 2023 (final follow-up: April 26, 2024).

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers examined 220 systematic reviews published between December 2017 and December 2022, focusing on different clinical scenarios where NRSIs were justified for inclusion, with adverse outcomes being the most common reason.
- * Findings revealed that a significant portion of reviews did not assess compatibility before combining evidence types, leading to discrepancies in estimates; 35.5% showed qualitative disagreement and 46.5% indicated important differences between NRSIs and RCTs.
