Objective: To report the rapid hematological response in a young patient with very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA) treated with a combination of high-dose romiplo
Very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA) is a critical condition requiring rapid treatment responses, especially for patients ineligible for HSCT.
A 16-year-old male with newly diagnosed VSAA achieved complete remission after treatment with high-dose romiplostim, hetrombopag, and immunosuppressive therapy.
The patient experienced a partial trilineage response by week 9 and complete remission by week 22, with sustained remission after 7 months.
The combination therapy resulted in transfusion independence and minimal adverse effects, indicating a promising treatment approach for VSAA.
This case suggests that dual TPO-RA therapy may be a viable first-line option for HSCT-ineligible patients with VSAA, warranting further investigation.
Objective: To report a case of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis caused by Pseudomonas fulva and review the clinical characteristics and implications of P
Pseudomonas fulva is a rare human pathogen linked to various infections, including the first reported case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis.
The bacterium was accurately identified using MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing from peritoneal dialysis fluid of an elderly patient.
The patient, with a history of end-stage renal disease, recovered after treatment with intravenous cefotaxime.
Risk factors for P. fulva-related peritonitis include severe renal insufficiency, catheter-related defects, and environmental contamination.
The study highlights the importance of accurate identification and treatment of P. fulva infections to ensure favorable patient outcomes.

The Digital First Primary Care model aims to enhance healthcare accessibility and efficiency through digital tools like telemedicine and virtual consultations.
DFPC can improve convenience and timeliness for some patients, but benefits are unevenly distributed based on system design and patient capability.
Evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic should not be conflated with post-pandemic DFPC evaluations due to differing goals and patient expectations.
DFPC aligns with patient-centered care when implemented in a flexible hybrid model that preserves modality choice and supports continuity.
Future research should focus on patient-reported experiences, continuity, safety, and equity outcomes in routine post-pandemic DFPC.
Objective: To investigate the incidence rate of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and identify its risk factors. Key Findings: Overall incidence of PTDM
The overall incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) after kidney transplantation is approximately 20%.
Significant risk factors for PTDM include advanced age, high body mass index (BMI), family history of diabetes, high fasting plasma glucose, hypertriglyceridemia, and HCV infection.
Meta-analysis confirmed advanced age, high BMI, and hypertriglyceridemia as significant risk factors for PTDM.
The study included 26 studies from 15 countries with a total of 8,727 participants.
Statistical analyses were performed using STATA 15, and risk of bias was evaluated through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Objective: To evaluate the association and clinical agreement between the State Behavioral Scale (SBS) and the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) in mecha
The study evaluated the State Behavioral Scale (SBS) and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) for sedation assessment in mechanically ventilated children.
A total of 1,025 children were included, resulting in 13,736 paired observations of SBS and RASS scores.
There was a strong positive correlation between RASS and SBS scores (r = 0.857, p < 0.001) indicating good clinical agreement.
64.7% of nurses found RASS more convenient and faster, while 54.9% believed it better reflected clinical status compared to SBS.
RASS may serve as an efficient alternative for sedation assessment in the PICU, contingent on standardized training and implementation.
Objective: Consider adding the significance of the findings in the context of heart transplantation. Key Findings: Include implications of each finding for clin
Hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) preserves cardiomyocyte viability and metabolic stability in porcine hearts after donation after circulatory death (DCD).
Extended HOPE for 24 hours maintains myocardial integrity, contrasting with complete loss of viability after 24 hours of static cold storage (SCS).
RNA sequencing and metabolomics indicate minimal transcriptional and metabolic shifts between hearts preserved by 2-hour SCS and 24-hour HOPE.
Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) during procurement significantly enhances contractility and cardiomyocyte integrity compared to direct procurement without NRP.
This study highlights the potential of HOPE and NRP in improving outcomes for hearts procured from DCD donors, addressing organ shortage in transplantation.
