Central line-associated thrombosis and infections in patients with acute leukemia

"This review explores the complex, intricately intertwined pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this relationship in patients with acute leukemia. Catheter bacterial colonization, frequently reinforced by biofilm formation, and bloodstream infections provoke immunothrombosis, playing a part in local infection management" Alsuliman et al (2026).

Biofilms in hemodialysis catheters – Full Text

"We provide a comparative analysis of lock agents, contrasting the broad lytic potential of ethanol (the "nuclear option") with the safety profile of taurolidine and the pharmacological nuances of amphotericin B and echinocandins" Shi et al (2026).

Daily central line necessity review

"Implementing a standardized smartphrase for daily central line necessity review is a feasible and effective strategy to promote adherence to best practices. The expansion into a system-wide smart link reflects strong provider engagement and institutional support. This approach holds promise for reducing central line days and improving patient safety outcomes" Haney et al (2026).
