Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

BACKGROUND Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare hematological disease characterized by an excessive inflammatory response to various triggers, resulting in rapid multi-organ failure. Its incidence may be underestimated due to its rarity, its variable clinical presentation, and its high mortality rate prior to diagnosis. Oftentimes, HLH is mistaken for refractory sepsis and improperly treated as such. Left untreated, the disease is universally fatal. With treatment, case series of adults with HLH report a 30-day mortality of up to 44% and an overall mortality of up to 75%. CASE RE

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure immediately after extubation for preventing morbidity in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Preterm infants who are extubated following a period of invasive ventilation via an endotracheal tube are at risk of developing respiratory failure, leading to reintubation. This may be due to apnoea, respiratory acidosis, or hypoxia. Historically, preterm infants were extubated to head box oxygen or low-flow nasal cannulae. Support with non-invasive pressure might help improve rates of successful extubation in preterm infants by stabilising the upper airway, improving lung function, and reducing apnoea. This is an update of a review first published in 1997 and last updated in 2003…

Breakthrough COVID-19 in Vaccinated Patients with Haematologic Malignancies-The First Single-Centre Experience from the Czech Republic.

Vaccination is an important tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with haematologic malignancies. The paper provides an analysis of the course of breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection in a group of vaccinated patients with haematological malignancy and a comparison with a historical cohort of 96 non-vaccinated patients with haematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes (two patients) in the treatment of COVID-19. A severe or critical course of COVID-19 was significantly less frequent in the group of vaccinated patients (10.2% vs. 31.4%, p = 0.003). The need for

Analyzing the impact of subcutaneous injection needle, device, and administration characteristics on patient pain, anxiety, and safety: a systematic literature review.

The subcutaneous (SC) injection route is a commonly used and important method for therapeutic delivery of a wide range of compounds, and needle characteristics have a significant influence on patient pain, anxiety, safety, and other outcomes. This systematic review evaluates the evidence on how needle-specific characteristics (e.g. gauge, length, tip design, wall thickness, concealment) and administration- or device-related factors can affect patient-reported outcomes and clinical safety indicators during and following SC injections. A comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE, PubMed, Emb

Cardiovascular disease and chimeric antigen receptor cellular therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy is a revolutionary personalized therapy that has significantly impacted the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies refractory to other therapies. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a major side effect of CAR T therapy that can occur in 70-90% of patients, with roughly 40% of patients at grade 2 or higher. CRS can cause an intense inflammatory state leading to cardiovascular complications, including troponin elevation, arrhythmias, hemodynamic instability, and depressed left ventricular systolic function.

Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia: An uncommon but fatal cause of Pneumocystis pneumonia.

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a fungal infection with primary occurrence in immunocompromised individuals by the etiologic agent Pneumocystis jirovecii. In those without previously identified risk factors, maintaining an index of suspicion for this diagnosis with search for underlying immunosuppressive cause is of utmost importance. Here, we present a case of fatal PCP in a patient without a known history of immunocompromise subsequently diagnosed with idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL) with an absolute CD4+ T-cell count of 7 cells/uL.

Risk factors associated with bone cement leakage following percutaneous kyphoplasty: a retrospective analysis.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a minimally invasive procedure in which bone cement is injected into a damaged vertebral body to rapidly alleviate pain and stabilize the spine. The most common complication associated with this procedure is bone cement leakage. Following leakage, compression can occur, potentially leading to severe clinical consequences such as paraplegia, spinal cord compression, cement pulmonary embolism, and even death. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for bone cement leakage in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) follow

Biodegradable tracheal stents: our ten-year experience with adult patients.

BACKGROUND: Biodegradable (BD) stents made from polydioxanone have been used only in human airways. These stents combine the advantages of classical tracheal stents, and fewer side effects are expected due to their biocompatibility and their time-limited presence in airways. However, new clinical consequences have arisen. Here, the authors share their experiences with BD stents for tracheal indications, focusing on their safety and efficacy. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of a collected database of adult patients who underwent implantation of biodegradable tracheal stents between Se
