A new SCCM–ESICM Delphi consensus standardizes clinical criteria for refractory septic shock, focusing on persistent hypoperfusion, fluid unresponsiveness, high vasopressor needs, and bedside ultrasound when mixed shock is suspected.
A large prospective cohort suggests that long-term sequelae of congenital CMV after primary maternal infection are confined to first-trimester exposure, with autism spectrum disorder linked to temporal lobe white matter abnormalities.
A large multicenter study links specific bone marrow immune cell patterns to infection risk in multiple myeloma and proposes a clinically relevant immune score that may support minimally invasive monitoring.
A molecular epidemiology study in Durban found that casual community contact, not only household or named contacts, accounted for a substantial share of drug-resistant tuberculosis transmission.
During Boston’s devastating 1955 polio epidemic, Massachusetts General Hospital trainees conducted groundbreaking patient research while providing round-the-clock care in iron lung wards – a striking contrast to trainee roles during C
In HBsAg-positive, anti-HDV-positive patients, combined measurement of HDV RNA and anti-HDV titers distinguished inactive from active disease and tracked interferon response more effectively than either marker alone.
The REPRIEVE trial reveals higher heart failure incidence in people with HIV, particularly among women, Black participants in high-income regions, and those with hypertension or obesity. Traditional risk factors, not HIV-specific markers, w
A prospective cohort study identifies biomarker signatures for host resistance, disease tolerance, and damage in sepsis, revealing associations with mortality and sepsis subtypes.
A randomized clinical trial found that FMT did not significantly decolonize MDROs or reduce AMR genes in GI disease patients, though it modulated gut microbiome composition.
A study reveals CD16+ γδ T cells as key mediators of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in HBV infection, correlating with reduced viral replication and offering new therapeutic targets.
A multicenter study reveals that culturally and linguistically diverse patients with sepsis had lower in-hospital mortality and shorter ICU stays compared to non-CaLD patients, challenging prior assumptions about healthcare disparities.
A real-world study reveals FCN/GCV combination therapy enhances 1-year survival in HHV-6B encephalitis post-CBT, particularly after neutrophil engraftment, compared to monotherapy. Findings underscore the need for tailored antiviral strateg
A multicenter European cohort study demonstrates that antifungal treatment significantly reduces 60-day mortality in COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), particularly in immunocompromised patients. Key findings underscore the
A large-scale retrospective cohort study demonstrates that 9-valent HPV vaccination in males aged 9-26 years is associated with a 46% reduction in HPV-related cancer risk. The findings support sex-neutral HPV vaccination strategies and high
A prospective study of 47 patients reveals that white blood cell SPECT/CT demonstrates superior sensitivity and specificity compared to conventional MRI for initial diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis. While both modalities perform equ
A 20-year retrospective study of 6,452 solid organ transplant patients reveals hepatitis E infection rates of 3.5%, with chronicity rates exceeding 65%. The findings highlight the critical importance of HEV screening and the effectiveness o
A randomized trial of 399 adults with long COVID fatigue found that fluvoxamine significantly reduced fatigue severity at 60 and 90 days compared to placebo, while metformin showed no benefit. The study represents a potential breakthrough i
The SECRETO study reveals that infections within the preceding week significantly increase the risk of cryptogenic ischemic stroke in patients aged 18–49, with elevated von Willebrand Factor and Factor VIII levels serving as critical biomar
This review analyzes a decade-long nationwide study on TB after Allo-HSCT in France, revealing a 60/100,000 incidence rate, high extrapulmonary involvement, and the critical need for screening patients from high-incidence regions.
A prospective Kenyan cohort study identifies that post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) affects 50% of survivors, driven by divergent transcriptomic signatures: early pro-fibrotic inflammation in restrictive phenotypes and persistent interf
