Updates in COPD Management: From Inflammatory Pathways to Targeted Therapies

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 10, October 2026.
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.

Risk Factors of Blood Culture Positivity and Mortality in Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study of Patients With B‐Cell Malignancies

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 117, Issue 4, Page 1061-1071, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infections remain a major cause of mortality among cancer patients. Pathogen surveillance and risk stratification tools are key to improved management. This study describes trends in causative pathogens and explores risk factors for positive blood cultures (PBCs) and post‐infection mortality in cancer patients.

Occult pneumococcal septicemia and pneumococcal pneumonia complicating pneumatoceles in a previously healthy child

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1998
Fulminating pneumococcal septicemia without an obvious focus of infection is very rare in previously immunocompetent children older than two years. Furthermore, pneumatocele formation in pneumococcal pneumonia is uncommon.

Association between respiratory syncytial virus activity and pneumococcal disease in infants: a time series analysis of US hospitalization data.

PLoS Medicine, 2015
BackgroundThe importance of bacterial infections following respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains unclear. We evaluated whether variations in RSV epidemic timing and magnitude are associated with variations in pneumococcal disease epidemics and ...

A Machine Learning–Derived Risk Scorecard for Pneumonia Hospitalization in Japanese Old‐Old Adults

Geriatrics &Gerontology International, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
In 1 098 404 community‐dwelling Japanese adults aged ≥ 75 years, a 20‐learner Super Learner using routinely collected health checkup and claims data predicted 1‐year pneumonia hospitalization (test‐set AUC 0.823). An independently developed, well‐calibrated 17‐feature scorecard showed AUC 0.786 and a 15.9‐fold low‐to‐high risk gradient; external ...

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...
