ABSTRACT Infectious complications are increasingly recognized as a crucial aspect of the clinical management of patients with Myelofibrosis. Infection susceptibility is multifactorial and reflects the interplay between disease‐related immune dysregulation, treatment‐associated immunomodulation, and patient‐specific factors such as age, comorbidities, and prior therapies. Myelofibrosis is characterized by a chronic inflammatory state and impaired innate and adaptive immunity, including dysfunction of natural killer …

Introduction Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) is widely used for etiologic assessment of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), but its invasiveness limits routine use. This study evaluated induced sputum (IS) as a less-invasive specimen for targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS). Methods In this prospective exploratory study, paired IS and BALF samples from 30 adults with suspected LRTI underwent tNGS. The primary etiology was determined by composite clinical adjudication. Detected microorganisms were cl …

Heat-related illnesses (HRIs) are a growing public health concern, particularly in the context of global climate change. Vulnerable populations, such as agricultural and outdoor workers, face disproportionate risks of HRIs. This study investigates associations between social determinants of health (SDOH) profiles and prevention behaviors, trust in information sources, and frequency of information-seeking related to extreme heat among Florida residents. Using a Bayesian Profile Regression (BPR) approach, we identifi …

Introduction Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) affects an estimated 1.8–3.6% of UK school children and up to 27% of children in care. FASD remains vastly under-diagnosed and under-recorded in UK electronic patient records (EPRs), leading to significant challenges for individuals with the condition. In 2024, we developed new SNOMED clinical terms aligned to UK national guidelines and quality standards for FASD. Aims Through collaborative knowledge mobilisation (KM), we aimed to: i) raise awareness of the import …

Abstract T cell exhaustion arises during chronic antigen stimulation and represents a major barrier to effective anti-tumour immunity. Rather than a uniform dysfunctional state, exhaustion is increasingly understood as a structured differentiation landscape that progresses from stem-like progenitor exhausted T cells to terminally exhausted T cells. Stem-like progenitor exhausted T cells retain self-renewal capacity and partial effector function, whereas terminally exhausted T cells exhibit epigenetically fixed dysf …

The use of restraint in psychiatric care remains one of the most ethically contested practices in mental health services, reflecting an enduring tension between the duty to ensure safety and the obligation to respect patient autonomy. Although coercive interventions are often justified as necessary responses to risk, their ethical legitimacy remains uncertain, particularly when examined through deontological frameworks. This theoretical paper provides a philosophical and legal analysis of restraint practices, drawi …

Chronic heel pain is among the most frequent musculoskeletal complaints presenting to primary care, podiatry and physiotherapy services, and a substantial minority of those affected remain symptomatic for years. Exercise directed at the lower limb is recommended almost universally, yet the term covers interventions that differ in target tissue, contraction type, load magnitude, dose and degree of supervision. Whether those differences matter for clinical outcome remains contested. This critical narrative review exa …

Background Child mortality remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries, with Sub-Saharan Africa carrying a disproportionate share of the global burden. In South Africa, rural and under-resourced areas such as Mount Fletcher in the Eastern Cape continue to record high rates of preventable under-five deaths. The effectiveness of national and provincial health promotion strategies depends heavily on local awareness, acceptance, and participation, yet little is known about how caregivers …

The present study aimed to investigate whether half-dose rivaroxaban (10 mg daily) could better reduce silent cerebral embolic lesions (SCEs) and preserve cognitive function compared to antiplatelet therapy after successful LAAO. Methods In this investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, patients with successful LAAO confirmed 45 days post- …
