Purpose: To investigate the clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and outcomes of young patients with vitreoretinal lymphoma.
Methods: Fifty-one vitreoretinal lymphoma patients (97 eyes) referred to the Eye and ENT Hospital of the Fudan University from 2011 to 2020 were grouped based on their onset age (age ≤50 years and age >50 years). Complete eye examinations, evaluation of systemic conditions, and biological analysis of intraocular fluids were performed.
Results: Young patients accounted for 31.4% (n = 16) of the cohort. More eyes had retinal/subretinal pigment epithelial infiltration (20 [64.5%] vs. 23 [34.8%]; P = 0.018) in young patients than in elderly ones. The mutation rate of Myeloid Differentiation Factor 88 gene (MYD88) was significantly lower in young patients than in elderly ones (5 [50%] vs. 21 [91.3%]; P = 0.016). The median time to new onset of central nervous system lymphoma was significantly shorter in young patients (11.7 vs. 36.2 months; P = 0.012). However, mean overall survival did not differ between the 2 groups (64.9 vs. 57.5 months; P = 0.871).
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and central nervous system evaluation are crucial for young vitreoretinal lymphoma patients with rapid central nervous system involvement. Meanwhile, young vitreoretinal lymphoma patients have some unique features, including more retinal/subretinal pigment epithelial infiltrations and lower MYD88 mutation rates.

Theoretical approaches can help to plan, guide, and evaluate implementation projects that target real-world practice problems. This paper provides an overview of the integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i-PARIHS) framework and summarizes its use in nutrition and dietetics research and practice. A narrative summary of its use was compiled from the published literature based on citations from two key reference sources of the i-PARIHS framework.

Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.
Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.

Purpose: Given the increased likelihood for individuals with severe asthma to experience comorbidities, disease complications, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations, the ability to stratify asthma populations on severity is often important. Although pharmacoepidemiologic studies using administrative healthcare databases sometimes categorize asthma severity, there is no consensus on an approach.
Methods: Individuals with asthma (≥ 2 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes J45) aged ≥ 6 years were identified in Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database between January 2017 and November 2023.

The diagnosis of hemolysis is still based on straightforward biochemical parameters: haptoglobin (the most sensitive), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and unconjugated bilirubin. Anemia is not always present. Reticulocyte counts typically exceed 120×10/L, except in cases of associated vitamin deficiency or during the very early phase of acute hemolysis.

Background: Hounsfield units (HU) on computed tomography (CT) are strongly correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) and may aid in osteoporosis screening. However, there is no standardized method for assessing bone density in displaced femoral head fractures. This study aimed to measure HU values in the femoral head using preoperative post-fracture CT images of patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures and investigate whether it correlated with BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
