Article Abstract
Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common disease in the intensive care unit (ICU) accompanied by high mortality, the purpose of this study was to build a prediction model for the 30 days mortality of SAP.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 149 patients with SAP after admission in 48 h to the ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2015 and December 2019. Clinical variables including gender, age, blood routine, and biochemical indicators were collected. On the basis of these variables, stepwise regression analysis was carried out to establish the model. A bootstrapping technique was applied for internal validation.
Results: Age, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), triglycerides (TG), and creatinine (CREA) were differences between survivors and nonsurvivors groups (all < 0.1). Multivariate analysis suggested that age, AST, ALP, TG, and CREA were independent variables. Then, a model was established. The area-under-the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.875 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.811-0.924). After internal validation, the C-index was 0.859 (95% CI: 0.786-0.932).
Conclusion: Our study has built a refined model with easily acquired biochemical parameters to predict 30 days mortality of SAP admitted to ICU. This model will require external and prospective validation prior to translate into clinical management.

Background: Between November 2023 and March 2024, coastal Kenya experienced another wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections detected through our continued genomic surveillance. Herein, we report the clinical and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections from 179 individuals (a total of 185 positive samples) residing in the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) area (~ 900 km).
Methods: We analyzed genetic, clinical, and epidemiological data from SARS-CoV-2 positive cases across pediatric inpatient, health facility outpatient, and homestead community surveillance platforms.

Background: Current scoring systems for hypertriglyceridaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) severity are few and lack reliability. The present work focused on screening predicting factors for HTG-SAP, then constructing and validating the visualization model of HTG-AP severity by combining relevant metabolic indexes.
Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2024, retrospective clinical information for HTG-AP inpatients from Weifang People's Hospital was examined.

Background: Kidney involvement in pediatric sarcoidosis is rare and often underrecognized, leading to diagnostic delays and treatment challenges. We report six patients with renal sarcoidosis to highlight their diverse presentations and outcomes and challenges in management.
Methods: Medical records of patients diagnosed with renal sarcoidosis during 2020-24 were reviewed.

Neurotoxicity is a common and potentially severe adverse effect from conventional and novel cancer therapy. The mechanisms that underlie clinical symptoms of central and peripheral nervous system injury remain incompletely understood. For conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy, direct toxicities to brain structures and neurovascular damage may result in myelin degradation and impaired neurogenesis, which eventually translates into delayed neurodegeneration accompanied by cognitive symptoms.

Total laryngectomy (TLE) results in the permanent separation of the respiratory and digestive tracts, requiring all airway interventions to occur exclusively via a neck stoma. Although airway obstruction in post-laryngectomy patients is uncommon, it can rapidly become fatal without prompt recognition and understanding of the altered anatomy. Here, we report the case of a patient with a recent TLE for squamous cell carcinoma, who presented to a rural Emergency Department (ED) in acute respiratory distress.
