Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Precision immunomodulation for pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in intensive care

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This review presents a bedside framework for recognizing pediatric hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and cytokine storm, stabilizing organ dysfunction, identifying the underlying phenotype, selecting targeted immunomodulation, considering extracorporeal adjuncts, and reassessing response within 24–72 h. ABSTRACT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)

Hepatitis B and C co-Infection are independent predictors of progressive kidney disease in HIV-positive, antiretroviral-treated adults [PDF]

, 2012
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-positive individuals. Hepatitis C (HCV) co-infection has been associated with increased risk of CKD, but prior studies lack information on potential mechanisms.
