Background: Atypical Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (aCML) is a rare and aggressive myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML patients.

Methods: The study utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2001 to 2020. The age-adjusted incidence rate (AIR) of aCML was calculated, and survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and accelerated failure time (AFT) regression analysis.

Results: The AIR of aCML was found to be 0.024 per 100,000 person-years, with the highest rate observed in 2020. The incidence of aCML increased with age and was higher in males. The study cohort predominantly consisted of elderly White individuals, with an average age at diagnosis of 68.2 ± 15.3 years. The median overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were 1.4 years and 1.7 years, respectively. Older age was independently associated with worse survival outcomes. Notably, treatment delay and chemotherapy did not significantly impact OS or DSS.

Conclusions: This study provides comprehensive insights into the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML, highlighting its rarity, aggressive nature, and poor prognosis. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore novel therapeutic strategies for improving outcomes in this challenging hematologic malignancy.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents a challenging spectrum of outcomes, often complicated by intrarenal arterial/arteriolar lesions (IALs) in affected individuals. Despite their clinical relevance, existing criteria for classifying and assessing the severity of these lesions remain undefined. This study aimed to establish semi-quantitative assessment criteria for grading IALs and to evaluate their prognostic significance in patients with IgAN.

Department of Anesthesiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands; Department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.

Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.

Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent and severe complication among newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). It is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality rates, more extended hospital stays and increased health care costs. Implementing preventive care bundles and structured sets of evidence-based practices reduces VAP incidence.
