Early Risk Identification of Sepsis During Induction Chemotherapy in Newly Diagnosed AML: A Nomogram‐Based Tool

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) experience severe infections frequently during and after chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to develop an early risk assessment tool to identify newly diagnosed AML patients at high risk of developing sepsis during the early phase of induction chemotherapy.

Intra‐abdominal pressure and intestinal microbiome are associated with clinical outcomes in sepsis patients receiving early enteral nutrition: A prospective observational study

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Introduction Intra‐abdominal pressure (IAP) and gut microbiota have been associated with the prognosis of patients with sepsis receiving early enteral nutrition (EEN). In this study, we investigated this association and its prognostic value. Methods In this prospective observational study, we enrolled patients with sepsis receiving EEN.

Population Pharmacokinetic and Exposure‐Response Analysis of Vancomycin Nephrotoxicity in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Acute pulmonary exacerbations (APE) in persons with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) are associated with a reduction in long‐term pulmonary function. Vancomycin is recommended as first‐line treatment of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus ‐APE in PwCF.

Dexamethasone Versus Placebo in Comatose Survivors of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Study Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Comparison Within the Danish Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial (DANOHCA)

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The inflammatory response to whole‐body ischemia, as seen in comatose survivors after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Early high‐dose dexamethasone may dampen the inflammatory response, which may diminish secondary brain damage and other organ injury and decrease mortality.

Monocyte Single‐Cell‐Type Gene Expression Analysis Differentiates Kawasaki Disease From Viral Infection With High Specificity

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Kawasaki disease (KD) and viral infection (VD) share similar clinical features but require distinct treatments. A practical biomarker to distinguish them is therefore clinically important. Previous blood transcriptome studies identified many differentially expressed genes, but large gene panels are impractical for routine laboratories. A ratio‐

Vancomycin Protects Against Lung Injury and Promotes Butyrate Metabolism

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Transplanting the fecal microbiota of patients with lung injury into mice causes an increase in LPS in the mice's blood, thereby leading to chronic lung injury in the mice. Meanwhile, oral administration of vancomycin can enhance colonic butyrate metabolism and improve lung injury in mice.
