Clinical Fits of Planned Self-Harm Between Migrant Trauma-Affected Subgroups.
Stimulation with milk proteins caused T
lymphocytes from subjects with clinical EoE milk allergy to proliferate more (%P1 of 38.3±4.6 vs. 12.7±2.8, p<0.0001), and produce more type 2 cytokines (%IL-4
of 33.7±2.8 vs. 6.9±1.6, p<0.0001) than cells from control subjects. Milk-dependent memory T
-cell proliferation (sensitivity and specificity of 88% and 82%, respectively) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) production (sensitivity and specificity of 100%) most strongly predicted clinical EoE milk allergy.

In this context, the present study investigated the effects of biochar on the growth regulation and heavy metal accumulation in tomato grown on contaminated soils. A two-factorial design with factor A including three treatments with mine (contaminated soil) and garden soil in the following ratio viz., T1 = 12, T2 = 11, and T3 = 21, and garden soil only as control; whereas factor B consists of biochar amendments at three levels viz., B1 (3%), B2 (6%), and B3 (9%). Our results revealed significant negative effects of heavy metal-contaminated soil on plant growth, and besides resulted heavy metal accumulation in tomato fruit. Tomato plants showed maximum reduction of growth in T3 followed by T2, and lowest in T1, a similar pattern was found for accumulation of heavy metals in the fruit. However, the application of biochar reduced the bioavailability and accumulation of heavy metals in the tomato fruit, as well as improved plant growth in contaminated soils. Overall, among the three biochar treatments, B2 was determined as the optimum level for improved growth coupled with reduced heavy metal accumulation in the tomato fruit. Besides, biochar application decreased the daily intake of metals and human health risk index values, thus alleviating the health risk. Hence, the present study demonstrated a positive role of biochar in reclaiming heavy metal-contaminated soils and in increasing the plant growth.
This study aimed to assess the association between iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and dental caries in early childhood.

A total of 40 children with proven IDA and another 40 healthy age and sex-matched children were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Legal guardians were interviewed to collect data on oral hygiene measures and dietary habits. Anthropometric measurements were performed for all participants, and blood samples were collected to assess complete blood count and body iron status. Patients were confirmed to have IDA based on haemoglobin level (Hb), red blood cells indices and body iron status. Caries experience was determined based on the number of decayed, missing and filled primary teeth using dmft index.

A statistically significant negative correlation between dmft index scores and haemoglobin level (r=-0.454, P<0.001) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) level (r=-0.380, P=0.001) was detected, and in accordance there was a positive statistically significant correlation between caries experience and the presence of anaemia (r=-0.60, P<0.001).

In early childhood, dental caries might coexist with IDA even in its mildest form. All children exhibiting severe early childhood caries should be investigated for IDA and anaemia should be managed if present.

Prophylactic platelet transfusions are frequently used to prevent bleeding in hospitalised patients with thrombocytopenia. Recommendations regarding the use of prophylactic platelet transfusions in non-haematological patients are based on extrapolations, observational studies, and expert opinions, and transfusion with platelets has been associated with adverse effects. We aim to assess the overall benefits and harms of prophylactic platelet transfusions in hospitalised patients with thrombocytopenia.

We will conduct a systematic review with meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses in compliance with the recommendations by the Cochrane Collaboration and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. We will prepare the manuscript in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. We will include randomised clinical trials assessing prophylactic platelet transfusion versus no prophylaxis or placebo in hospitalised patients with thrombocytopenia. The primary outcome is mortality at longest follow-up. Secondary outcomes include episodes of clinically important bleeding, nosocomial infections, transfusion-related adverse events, thromboembolic events, length of hospital stay, quality of life, and days alive without the use of life support. We will conduct prespecified subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses and assess the risk of random errors by trial sequential analyses.

The proposed systematic review will provide an overview of the certainty of evidence for the benefits and harms of prophylactic platelet transfusion in hospitalised patients with thrombocytopenia.

Supplemental oxygen (SO) is one of the most commonly administered drugs in trauma patients and is recommended by guidelines. However, evidence supporting uniform administration is sparse, and excess oxygen use has been shown to be harmful in other patient populations. We hypothesized that SO may be harmful in patients with oxygen saturation>97%.

Patients with available information on SO-therapy in the American Trauma Quality Improvement Program 2017 database were included. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to Emergency Department (ED) oxygen saturation (1) saturation<94%; (2) saturation 94%-97%; (3) saturation 98%-100%. Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality with comparisons made between patients who received SO or not. Secondary outcome was acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients were compared after propensity score matching.

Overall, 864340 patients were identified. Mean age was 47.4±24.4years, and median injury severity score was 9. SO was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (all patients adjusted odds ratio [aOR] with 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.
