Objective: To synthesize evidence on the role of viral and fungal infections in nonresolving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Key Findings: Invasive
Cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and Aspergillus species contribute to nonresolving ARDS through immune dysregulation and lung injury.
Nonresolving ARDS is characterized by persistent respiratory failure beyond 5 days of mechanical ventilation, leading to high morbidity and mortality.
Influenza and COVID-19 are significant risk factors for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, with mortality rates exceeding 50% in affected patients.
Diagnostic challenges exist for viral reactivation and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, with bronchoalveolar lavage being preferred for accurate detection.
Fungal and viral infections may interact in ARDS, complicating treatment and outcomes, though the evidence for causality remains limited.

Objective: To analyze the changes in the Title X family planning program under the Trump administration and its implications for birth rates and reproductive he
The U.S. birth rate fell to 3.6 million in 2025, marking a 1% decline from 2024 and a 23% drop since 2007.
The Trump administration aims to reverse declining birth rates by proposing changes to Title X, traditionally focused on contraception and reproductive health.
The new Title X funding notice emphasizes fertility and family formation, sidelining contraception and traditional family planning goals.
Experts argue that the decline in birth rates is due to delayed childbearing rather than lack of access to contraception.
The administration's changes to Title X have received mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a necessary shift towards women's health empowerment.

Objective: To compare the perioperative outcomes of spleen-sparing distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) versus distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS) for patients
This study compares splenic-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS) for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).
SPDP resulted in less intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative time, and fewer postoperative major complications compared to DPS in pNET patients.
The analysis included 457 patients, with 226 undergoing SPDP and 231 undergoing DPS, primarily involving well-differentiated G1/G2 tumors.
SPDP demonstrated a shorter hospital stay and lower transfusion rates, suggesting it may reduce surgical risks for selected pNET patients.
Further high-quality studies are needed to refine patient selection criteria and evaluate long-term outcomes of SPDP in managing pNETs.
