Long ‐term efficacy, safety, and cumulative retention rate of antitumor necrosis factor‐alpha treatment for patients with Behcet's uveitis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsAnti-TNF- α therapy represents an effective treatment for BU patients with favorable safety profile and high drug retention rate and a potential advantage of adalimumab over infliximab in terms of ocular inflammation remission, drug retention, and the incidence of severe infusion or injection reactions.

Adjunct Acupuncture Improved Respiratory Status and Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation After Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia
CONCLUSIONS: Acupuncture improved respiration and facilitated MV weaning in a patient with respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19. Adjunctive acupuncture may benefit such patients and others after severe pneumonia.

Socio-demographic and comorbid risk factors for poor prognosis in patients hospitalized with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia in southeastern US
Thirty percent of all adult community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are hospitalized annually in the US, estimated at over 1.5 million patients and 100,000 deaths annually.1 Hospitalization for CAP is influenced by chronic comorbidity and socio-demographic risk factors.1-3 Chronic comorbidities known for the highest incidence of CAP hospitalization include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.1 The estimated annual incidence of hospitalization for CAP due to these comorbidities ranges from 674 hospitalizations per 100,000 adults for obesity to 5832 hospital...
