Article Abstract
Blood transfusion is a common therapeutic intervention in hospitalized patients. There are numerous indications for transfusion, including anemia and coagulopathy with deficiency of single or multiple coagulation components such as platelets or coagulation factors. Nevertheless, the practice of transfusion in critically ill patients has been controversial mainly due to a lack of evidence and the need to consider the appropriate clinical context for transfusion. Further, transfusion carries many risk factors that must be balanced with benefits. Therefore, transfusion practice in ICU patients has constantly evolved, and we endeavor to present a contemporary review of transfusion practices in this population guided by clinical trials and expert guidelines.

The application of cricoid force remains controversial in modern practice. This review critically assesses the anatomic, physiologic, and contemporary clinical evidence of cricoid force application. There may be a sound anatomic basis to cricoid force application, involving occlusion of the postcricoid hypopharynx, but the physiologic basis is uncertain.

Purpose Of Review: The expanding range of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) reflects a growing emphasis on individualized, anatomy-driven treatment that prioritizes symptom relief, reduced morbidity, and preservation of sexual function. This review provides a timely synthesis of MISTs, highlighting innovations in technique, key anatomical considerations, and evolving strategies for patient-centered care in the modern clinical setting.
Recent Findings: Recent studies highlight the expanding role of MISTs, such as UroLift, Rezūm, the temporary implanted nitinol device, Optilume BPH, transperineal laser ablation, and prostatic stents.

Enhancing food taste remains a pivotal focus of modern food science research and has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Among the fundamental components of food flavor, sweetness holds a position of utmost importance and its impact on consumers' sensory experiences is profound, which has driven extensive use of sweeteners as food additives for sweetness regulation in contemporary food industry. However, its underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood, presenting numerous questions that warrant further investigation.

Background: Being a global profession, having evolved differently across different geographical areas, and with increasing global migration, nursing is well positioned to undertake comparative research to facilitate understanding and identify areas for development. Despite this, little is known about comparative research use in nursing, and there is little guidance for researchers on how to approach it. With increasingly sophisticated approaches, there is a need to understand how comparative analysis is currently being used.
