Diagnostic Gaps Revealed in Small Fiber Neuropathy

Clinical evaluation of small fiber neuropathy (SFN) remains inconsistent across neurology subspecialties, with survey data revealing wide variation in diagnostic practices, even when faced with common patient scenarios.

PAV+ Fails to Shorten Ventilation Time Compared to PSV

A new multicenter trial has found that proportional-assist ventilation with load-adjustable gain factors (PAV+) does not reduce the time to successful liberation from mechanical ventilation compared to conventional pressure-support ventilation (PSV) in critically ill adults.

Rash Risk After Aminopenicillins in Mono Lower Than Expected

A new systematic review and meta-analysis reveals that the risk of rash in patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM) who are prescribed aminopenicillins is significantly lower than long believed, challenging decades-old assumptions in clinical practice.

Why Are Cashew and Almond Allergies on the Rise?

A growing number of anaphylaxis cases linked to cashew nuts, especially in children, combined with an unexpected frequency of almond-induced reactions in adults, signals a shift in the landscape of tree nut allergies, according to new data from the European Anaphylaxis Registry.

Balloon Dilation vs Surgery for Bile Strictures

In a large retrospective study, percutaneous balloon dilation was found to have a statistically significant advantage over open reconstructive surgery for treating high-grade benign biliary strictures, especially those classified as Bismuth-Strasberg type E4 and E5, which are known for technical complexity and recurrence risk.

GPT-4o Extracts Neural Circuit Data for Epilepsy Research

In a breakthrough that could accelerate research into Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), researchers have demonstrated that a state-of-the-art AI model, GPT-4o, can accurately extract neural projections from scientific literature.

Food Insecurity Linked to Childhood Anemia Risk

A new systematic review and meta-analysis confirms a significant link between household food insecurity and increased anemia risk in children and adolescents, underscoring critical implications for pediatric care and public health policy.

Urosepsis in Kidney Transplants: Treatment Timing Critical

In kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), delays in appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy for urosepsis significantly increase the risk of death, acute kidney injury (AKI), and graft failure, according to a post-hoc analysis of an observational study conducted at a tertiary transplant center.
