February 2026—A study of 42 thrombocytopenic neonates found that platelet transfusions increased platelet counts but did not significantly impact bleeding. Another study investigated the impact of probiotics on gut microbiota after colonoscopy.
February 2026—A study introduced a computational framework to analyze collagen disorder architectural (CoDA) features in colon cancer patients, revealing significant associations with clinical, molecular, and genetic factors. Additionally, a dedicated histopathologic assessment of rituximab-associated CVID-like enteropathy highlighted key histologic features, emphasizing the importance of pathologist awareness of this entity.
February 2026—A study of 830 children with pediatric central nervous system tumors found that 23.3% carried germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes, impacting tumor development and outcomes. Another study identified pathogenic variants in 13.2% of infertile women experiencing IVF/ICSI failures, with TUBB8 being the most frequently mutated gene.
