ABSTRACT Background Meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam are commonly used empirical antibiotics in critically ill adults with sepsis, but whether one is superior to the other is uncertain. Methods The Empirical Meropenem versus Piperacillin/Tazobactam for Adult Patients with Sepsis (EMPRESS) trial is an ongoing investigator‐initiated, randomised ...

ABSTRACT Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are common in children and are diagnostically challenging, with cutaneous manifestations being the most common presentation. Patch testing (PT) is a well‐established tool for investigating delayed T‐cell‐mediated reactions and is widely used in patients with contact dermatitis.

This study investigated serum levels of cold‐inducible RNA‐binding protein (CIRP) and C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5) in 485 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Elevated levels of both biomarkers were independently associated with poor prognosis and positively correlated with neutrophil extracellular trap markers, suggesting their ...

This study reveals a persistently high macrolide resistance rate (87.87%) in Mycoplasma pneumoniae among children in Southwest China (2021–2025), predominantly affecting those aged 2–8 years. MRMP infections are associated with longer hospital stays, increased bronchoscopy use, and higher doxycycline prescriptions, underscoring the urgent need for ...

Updates in COPD Management: From Inflammatory Pathways to Targeted Therapies
COPD is a heterogeneous disease driven by overlapping neutrophilic and eosinophilic inflammatory pathways. This review highlights the shift from symptom‐based treatment toward phenotype‐ and biomarker‐directed care. Blood eosinophils, FeNO, and IgE predict corticosteroid responsiveness and identify candidates for biologic therapy.
