Adverse Reactions After Intradermal Vaccination With JYNNEOS for Mpox in Korea
J Korean Med Sci. 2024 Mar 4;39(8):e100. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e100.ABSTRACTIn response to the Mpox domestic epidemic, South Korea initiated a nationwide vaccination program in May 2023, administering a 0.1 mL intradermal dose of JYNNEOS (Modified Vaccinia Ankara vaccine, Bavarian Nordic) to a high-risk group. To investigate the adverse reactions after intradermal JYNNEOS vaccination, an anonymous online survey was conducted at the National Medical Center from May 22 to July 31, 2023. Overall, 142 individuals responded. Over 80% of the respondents reported local reactions of predominantly mild severity. The predominant...

Comparison of High- and Low-Dose Rivaroxaban Regimens in Elderly East Asian Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: This study revealed the safety and effectiveness of either dose regimen of rivaroxaban in an Asian population for stroke prevention of AF. Considerable numbers of patients are receiving LDRR therapy in real-world practice in Asia. Both regimens were safe and effective for these patients.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04096547.PMID:38442717 | PMC:PMC10911935 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e72 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Adverse Events Following COVID-19 Vaccination in Adolescents: Insights From Pharmacovigilance Study of VigiBase
CONCLUSION: In this study, there were disproportionate reporting of immune-related AEs following COVID-19 vaccination. While awaiting definitive evidence, there is a need to closely monitor for any signs of immune-related AEs following COVID-19 vaccination among adolescents.PMID:38442719 | PMC:PMC10911943 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e76 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Mildly Reduced Renal Function Is Associated With Increased Heart Failure Admissions in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
CONCLUSION: This real-world observation showed that even mildly reduced renal function (i.e., eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m²) in patients with HCM was associated with an increased risk of MACEs, especially for HHF.PMID:38442721 | PMC:PMC10911940 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e80 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)

Impact of Lactate Dehydrogenase and Hemoglobin Levels on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: Results From the National Korean PNH Registry
CONCLUSION: In complement inhibitor-naïve patients with PNH, LDH ≥ 1.5 × ULN was a significant predictor of TE, and TE was a significant predictor of death. Hb was not a significant predictor of TE, impaired renal function, or death. Therefore, controlling IVH will improve clinical outcomes for patients with PNH.PMID:38442722 | PMC:PMC10911938 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e81 (Source: Journal of Korean Medical Science)
