    Abstract Thrombosis is one of the many signs of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and COVID-19 infection. Although the mechanisms contributing to thrombosis in APS and COVID-19 are relatively similar, this remains an open subject. Even now (when the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided), there is no conclusive solution to APS and COVID-19 co-occurrence. The presence of newly generated antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) in COVID-19 infection may or may not be connected to the diagnosis of APS. The prevalence of aPLs is substantial in severe COVID-19 but not related to thrombosis or a worse outcome. Adequate monitoring of antibody positivity over time is recommended for APL diagnosis. On the other hand, thrombosis and thrombocytopenia can rarely occur with vaccination with mRNA vaccines. Some studies have shown that COVID-19 immunization is well tolerated among APS patients who are triple-positive for aPL, which may comfort patients and referring physicians and lessen hesitation in unvaccinated APS/aPL-positive patients. In this narrative review, we will give an overview of the interaction between aPL-APS-COVID-19-thrombosis and related diagnostic insights learned during the pandemic.

    Abstract The overall intestinal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition in the individuals with obesity could be shifted away from immunosilent/immunoinhibitory Bacteroidetes LPS subtypes, in favor of various proinflammatory LPS subtypes due to gut microbiome dysbiosis What is more, high-fat diet, as well as obesity per se, enhance intestinal permeability through various mechanisms Latter results in increased paracellular absorption and transcellular (via chylomicrons) transport of endogenous endotoxin in the circulatory system (endotoxemia) In addition, it is known that lipid A initiates a signaling cascade resulting in activation of various proinflammatory pathways and increases oxidative stress upon binding to tool-like receptor 4 (TLR4) Taking everything into consideration, it is very likely that gut microbiome dysbiosis and endotoxemia represent the additional pathophysiological explanation for increased COVID-19 severity in obesity

    Abstract (1) Background: Data on combination or sequential treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) with disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) are missing and the latter field is poorly understood. The currently available data of patients on risdiplam previously treated with nusinersen are coming from exploratory research mainly focused on safety. Our aim was to investigate the real-world effectiveness (hypothesising non-inferiority) and safety profile of risdiplam in a paediatric-and-adult nusinersen-risdiplam spinal muscular atrophy switch cohort. (2) Methods: A retrospective and anonymous collection of relevant demographic and clinical data for all Croatian SMA patients switched from nusinersen to risdiplam up to September 2023 (reimbursed by Croatian Health Insurance Fund-CHIF) was performed using the CHIF database and associated reimbursement documentation. Patients were included in effectiveness and safety analysis if they met the following inclusion criteria: (i) risdiplam was reimbursed by the CHIF; (ii) the patient received at least six doses of nusinersen before the switch to risdiplam; (iii) there was no relevant pause between the latter disease-modifying drugs; (iv) availability of all prespecified studied data and parameters. (3) Results: In total, 17 patients met the inclusion criteria (58.9% female; median age 12.75 (3.0-44.5) years). In our 'switch' cohort, we demonstrated a non-inferiority of risdiplam to nusinersen in the SMA 1 (+1.0 in CHOP INTEND;

    Abstract (1) Background: To investigate the real-world effectiveness and safety profile of nusinersen in Croatian paediatric and adult spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients. (2) Methods: A retrospective and anonymous collection of relevant demographic and clinical data for all Croatian SMA patients treated with nusinersen and reimbursed by the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (CHIF) between April 2018 and February 2022 was performed through searching the CHIF database and studying the associated reimbursement documentation. All patients who received at least one dose of nusinersen were included in the baseline clinical-demographic overview and safety analysis, whereas only subjects who had completed six doses were included in the effectiveness analysis. (3) Results: Fifty-two patients [61.5% male; median age 13.4 (0.1-51.1) yr.] received nusinersen treatment. In SMA type 1 and type 3 paediatric patients, statistically significant motor function improvement (CHOP INTEND 10.8 ± 10.3 vs. 20.0 ± 15.8,

    Abstract Cross-sectional surveys have found variations in how prepared medical students feel to prescribe antibiotics responsibly, but insights are lacking on the stability of these outcomes. In a 2015 survey, final-year Swedish medical students reported very high preparedness levels across a comprehensive range of relevant curriculum topics. We repeated this survey in 2021 to assess the stability of previous findings and to capture the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Final-year students in 2015 and 2021 at all seven Swedish medical schools were eligible to participate in an online survey covering curricula topics, teaching methods and COVID-19 impacts (2021). Eligible students received email invitations and reminders from local coordinators. Students from six of seven medical schools participated in both surveys, with response rates of 24.1% (309/1281) in 2021 and 21.3% (239/1124) in 2015. The average global preparedness was 77.0% and 83.2%, respectively (
