Article Abstract

This study assesses 2 different disease activity measures, the Modified Truelove Witts Severity Index and the partial Mayo score, in hospitalized patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis (UC) for prediction of postdischarge corticosteroid-free clinical remission and endoscopic improvement to help guide future considerations for disease activity assessment. In this post hoc analysis from the Tofacitinib for Hospitalized Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis Management (TRIUMPH) trial, these results suggest resolution of the Mayo rectal bleeding subscore may have high prognostic utility and could be considered as a primary end point for hospitalized UC trials. The study underscores the need for further research on patient-reported outcomes and endoscopic indices in larger populations for inpatient UC trials.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) typically causes febrile illness and arthralgia. However, severe complications such as encephalitis, rhabdomyolysis, and multiorgan dysfunction are increasingly recognised, particularly during epidemics in endemic regions. We report a case of a 61-year old male presenting with progressive flaccid paraparesis and respiratory failure following febrile illness.

Objectives: To identify factors associated with death, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or cardiac intervention in neonates referred for higher level neonatal ICU (NICU) due to respiratory failure.

Design: Retrospective cohort study, 2018-2020.

Setting: Referrals for transport to tertiary-level NICUs using the London Neonatal Transfer Service in the United Kingdom.

Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.

Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.

Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.

High morbidity and mortality associated with human β-coronavirus (CoV) infection highlight the need to determine host responses to infection and develop anti-viral therapies. Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC), particularly involving Connexin43 (Cx43), is vital for maintaining central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis, and disruption of GJIC is a well-documented pathogenic mechanism among β-coronaviruses. Specifically, murine β-coronavirus, mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-A59) inoculation in the mouse brain causes acute-stage CNS viral spread and chronic neuroinflammatory demyelination while causing pronounced downregulation of Cx43 at the acute stage, reflecting a critical role in CNS pathology.

Background: Pain following pediatric adenotonsillectomy is prevalent, frequently severe, and often inadequately managed. The effectiveness of propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia in acute postoperative pain management is unknown.

Methods: We conducted a single-blind, randomized controlled trial to examine the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia.
