Article Abstract
Background/aims: Pulmonary toxicities of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination are exceedingly rare. However, there are a few reported cases after mRNA vaccination, especially from Asian countries. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 vaccine-related pneumonitis (CV-P) and to review cases reported in the literature.
Methods: We performed a prospective, observational case series analysis.
Results: Eleven patients with a median age of 80 years were enrolled. Ten patients developed CV-P after BNT162b2-mRNA vaccination and one after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. We identified various patterns of CV-P, including transient infiltration, life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome, and aggravation of underlying interstitial lung disease. Most patients showed favorable outcomes with good responses to corticosteroid therapy.
Conclusion: Identifying the mechanism of CV-P requires further investigation; however, radiological and laboratory findings in our case series support inflammatory dysregulation in the lung parenchyma after vaccination. Clinicians should consider CV-P in patients with atypical lung infiltration, no specific etiologies, and recent COVID-19 vaccination.

Introduction: Total splenectomy in children increases the risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). Laparoscopic subtotal splenectomy (LSS) is a technique to preserve splenic function while managing disease burden in pediatric hematologic disorders.
Materials And Surgical Technique: Three children aged 4 to 9 years with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) or hereditary spherocytosis underwent LSS.

Division of Reproductive Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 4770 Buford Hwy NE, Atlanta, GA, United States, 30341.
Objectives: To systematically review evidence on the safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Study Design: We searched for articles in multiple databases from database inception through December 12, 2022, that assessed safety and effectiveness of contraceptive use among women with CKD; all study designs were included. We extracted data from included articles; for studies that were not case series or case reports, we assessed risk of bias and determined certainty of evidence for each outcome.
