Background: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GiB) is associated with hypoperfusion, cytokine release, and alterations to the mucosal barrier frequently seen in the critical care population. Risk factors in the population at large have been well-studied, but few have specifically addressed the unique circumstances surrounding critically ill trauma patients. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for GiB in the trauma critical care population.

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHDa) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. While the first-line consensus treatment has been based on systemic corticosteroid therapy for many years, ruxolitinib has recently been approved and has become the standard second-line treatment. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of ruxolitinib remains limited to 40 % of cortico-resistant patients, raising the crucial question of selecting a third-line treatment.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, life-threatening mucocutaneous condition, most commonly triggered by drugs, with particularly high mortality in elderly populations. The medications most frequently associated with TEN include antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (sulfonamides), penicillins, cephalosporins, and quinolones (e.g.

Rationale: This case report highlights the complex clinical course and successful multidisciplinary management of a pediatric patient with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), who posed clinical dilemma at presentation. It underscores the ongoing clinical relevance of MIS-C as a post-Coronavirus disease 2019 sequelae and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for MIS-C in pediatric differential diagnoses, especially when symptoms overlap with other common conditions.
Patient Concerns: An 11-year-old previously healthy Saudi girl presented with gastrointestinal symptoms initially suggestive of acute appendicitis.

Background: In the United States, aspergillosis and mucormycosis are associated with substantial healthcare costs and mortality. Recent nationally representative data about hospitalisations for these infections are limited, though several reports specifically describe increases in COVID-19-associated aspergillosis and mucormycosis, likely because of critical illness-related immune dysregulation and treatments involving systemic corticosteroids.
Objectives: To update disease burden estimates, we describe trends in aspergillosis-related and mucormycosis-related hospitalisations (A-RH and M-RH).
