One cycle of nelarabine given after induction is well tolerated but does not improve outcome in adults with T‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Outcome data from the UKALL14 randomized‐controlled trial

HemaSphere, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract UKALL14 (NCT01085617) T‐cell arm was a phase 3, randomized‐controlled trial. Adults aged 25–65 years were randomized 1:1 at entry to receive standard of care (SOC) or SOC + nelarabine 1.5 g/m2 (Days 1, 3, and 5) to be administered following second induction. The primary end‐point was event‐free survival (EFS).

Laparoscopic Methylene Blue Photodynamic Therapy for Intraabdominal Infection: A Preclinical Feasibility Study in a Rabbit Model of Perforated Appendicitis

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, Volume 58, Issue 8, Page 644-655, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RED DISTRIBUTION WIDTH (RDW) AND PEDIATRIC APPENDICITIS SCORE (PAS)IN DETERMINING THE SEVERITY DEGREE OF ACUTE APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN IN H. ADAM MALIK HOSPITAL MEDAN

, 2020
Introduction: One of the sign of inflammation are the red distribution width (RDW) and neutrophils lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The width of the distribution of red blood cells (RDW) is a measure of the size of circulating erythrocytes.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Exploratory Analysis of Factors Associated with Conversion After Initially Attempted Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Children: The Role of Inflammatory Markers and Clinical Scores

Surgeries
Background: Acute appendicitis is the leading pediatric surgical emergency. Identifying drivers of disease severity and laparoscopic-to-open conversion remains critical for surgical planning. We evaluated the discriminative performance of clinical scores

The Challenges of Predicting Rare Outcomes: A Critical Appraisal of Machine Learning Using the Pediatric Resuscitation and Trauma Outcome (PRESTO) Model in a Tanzanian Injury Registry

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 3103-3110, October 2026.
Adding adult data did not improve predictability of the PRESTO model, possibly due to the fact that the lower mortality and injury severity in adults compared to children in our dataset statistically diluted the model. ABSTRACT Background Injuries are responsible for 950,000 deaths per year among children and adolescents under 18 years old.
