This article examines the economic value of transplant nephrologists and the need for adequate compensation. Kidney transplantation is a health and lifespan-extending procedure that relies on the expertise of transplant nephrologists. However, current compensation models, primarily based on relative value units (RVUs), often fail to capture the full scope of their work, particularly non-billable activities essential to patient care.

Explainable Artificial Intelligence to Quantify Adenoid Hypertrophy-related Upper Airway Obstruction using 3D Shape Analysis.

J Dent

March 2025

Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Michigan, 1011 North University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48104, USA. Electronic address:

Objectives: To develop and validate an explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) model for classifying and quantifying upper airway obstruction related to adenoid hypertrophy using three-dimensional (3D) shape analysis of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methods: 400 CBCT scans of patients aged 5-18 years were analyzed. Nasopharyngeal airway obstruction (NAO) ratio was calculated to label scans into four grades of obstruction severity, used as the ground truth.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces complex cellular and molecular changes, challenging recovery and therapeutic development. Although molecular pathways have been implicated in TBI pathology, the cellular specificity of these mechanisms remains underexplored. Here, we investigate the role of endothelial cell (EC) EphA4, a receptor tyrosine kinase receptor involved in axonal guidance, in modulating cell-specific transcriptomic changes within the damaged cerebral cortex.

BCL2 inhibition for multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis.

Br J Haematol

March 2025

Hematology and Medical Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Despite the development of novel treatments, multiple myeloma (MM) and light-chain (AL) amyloidosis remain incurable diseases. BCL2 inhibitors are a class of drugs under development for plasma cell disorders, with strong data supporting their use, particularly in patients with MM and AL amyloidosis harbouring the t(11;14). Venetoclax, the most extensively studied BCL2-specific inhibitor, was initially designed and evaluated for other malignant blood disorders.

Background: Talquetamab is the first GPRC5D × CD3 bispecific antibody approved for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In phase 1 of the MonumenTAL-1 study, initial results of subcutaneous talquetamab 0·4 mg/kg once a week and 0·8 mg/kg every 2 weeks showed preliminary clinical activity. We describe safety and activity results in patients treated with talquetamab, including patients who had received previous T-cell redirection therapy (TCR).

Background: Tumour coverage with an optimal minimal ablative margin is crucial for improving local control of liver tumours following thermal ablation. The minimal ablative margin has traditionally been assessed through visual inspection of co-registered CT images. However, rates of local tumour control after thermal ablation are highly variable with visual assessment.

Electronic address:

Background: Timely administration of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) birth dose vaccine, along with identifying high-risk pregnant individuals for antiviral prophylaxis, is essential for the global elimination of vertical transmission of HBV. However, in resource-limited settings, access to HBV DNA testing is scarce, and accurate rapid tests for HBeAg are lacking. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of a newly developed hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) rapid diagnostic test (RDT) to identify women who are HBsAg-positive and eligible for antiviral prophylaxis.

March 2025

College of Environment and Energy, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510006, China; The Key Lab of Pollution Control and Ecosystem Restoration in Industry Clusters, Ministry of Education, Guangzhou 510006, China. Electronic address:

Microplastic pollution is a growing global environmental concern, significantly impacting aquatic ecosystems. In metal mining regions, acid mine drainage (AMD) can exacerbate the issue as microplastics may carry heavy metals, heightening the risks to both human health and ecosystems. AMD can also form a distinct plastisphere further influencing the behavior and distribution of heavy metals.

Identifying the degradation pathway and the final by-products is essential, as their ecological risks are pertinent to the advancement of this technology and its potential application in practical environmental pollution treatment. Elucidating the reaction mechanisms of the degradation system represents the most effective strategy for controlling this process. This study thoroughly revealed that indirect oxidation predominates throughout the electrochemical system, while direct oxidation serves a significant auxiliary role under the synergistic influence.

Adenotonsillectomy success for treating obstructive sleep apnea in children with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

March 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, OH, USA; Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that can increase risk of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), caused by the combination of increased viscosity of secretions, craniofacial abnormalities, hypotonia, and obesity. While first-line treatment of pediatric OSA is typically adenotonsillectomy, the complex pathophysiology of OSA in PWS patients may lead to less success with this therapy.

Methods: The TriNetX database was queried for patients 18 years old or younger based on the diagnoses of PWS and OSA and the surgical interventions of adenotonsillectomy, tonsillectomy, and adenoidectomy.

Electronic address:

Genomic instability driven by stress-response-dependent mutagenesis is a key factor in cancer progression. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, a common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer, induces mutations that can facilitate the evolution of drug resistance and therapeutic failure. Here we quantified the contribution of APOBEC to mutational signatures in non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing TKI therapy.

Department of Chemistry and the Photonics Center, Boston University, Boston, MA, 02215, USA. Electronic address:

In order to facilitate the best antimicrobial prescribing practices and to help reduce the increasing global threat of antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent need for the development of novel and truly rapid (≤1 h) antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) platforms. A 785 nm surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based phenotypic methodology is described that results in accurate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determinations for all tested strain/antibiotic pairs. The SERS-AST procedure results in accurate MICs in ∼1 h, including a 30-min incubation period, and is effective for both Gram positive and negative species, and for antibiotics with different initial primary targets of antibiotic activity, and for both bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.

Lung cancer screening implementation has led to expanded imaging of the chest in older, tobacco-exposed populations. Growing numbers of screening cases are also found to have CT-detectable emphysema or elevated levels of coronary calcium, indicating the presence of coronary artery disease. Early interventions based on these additional findings, especially with coronary calcium, are emerging and follow established protocols.
