Article Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the incidence and characteristics of adult otitis media with effusion (OME) before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted. The incidence, age, sex, affected ear side, time of OME onset according to COVID-19 and days of improvement after conservative treatment were determined to assess the clinical features of adult OME in different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Results: The incidence of adult OME during these periods was 3.17%, 2.30%, 6.18%, and 3.68%, respectively. Unilateral ear involvement and male sex were more common. The onset of adult OME occurred 7.80 ± 3.97 days after COVID-19 diagnosis, and improvement was observed after 12.24 ± 5.08 days of conservative treatment. Patients in the post-pandemic period were older than those in the non-pandemic period.
Conclusion: The incidence of adult OME in China showed a tendency to decrease, recover, and decrease again following the COVID-19 outbreak. Pandemic prevention and control measures have had a certain impact on reducing the incidence, but the elderly are more prone to this disease.

Novel Prognostic Scoring Systems for Severe CRS after Anti-CD19 CAR-T-Cells in Acute B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Curr Med Sci
September 2025
Institute of Hematology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.

Cancer Center, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

Division of Physiological Sciences, Department of Human Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Newlands, Cape Town, 7725, South Africa.
Background: In tackle-collision sports, the tackle has the highest incidence, severity, and burden of injury. Head injuries and concussions during the tackle are a major concern within tackle-collision sports. To reduce concussion and head impact risk, evaluating optimal tackle techniques to inform tackle-related prevention strategies has been recommended.
