Letermovir does not affect long-term polyclonal immune reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with ATG-based GvHD prophylaxis.

INTRODUCTION: Letermovir (LET) is an effective prophylaxis for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivations in HCMV-seropositive patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). HCMV promotes polyfunctional T-cell responses, leading to HCMV-specific immune reconstitution (IR), thus contributing to polyclonal IR. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed HCMV-seropositive patients undergoing allo-SCT with ATG-based GvHD prophylaxis to assess the impact of LET on timing and quality of polyclonal IR. Two cohorts were identified: a pre-emptive treatment (PET) historical cohort transplante

Ассоциация гинекологов-преподавателей в области медицинского образования - обзор скопирования.

Экзамен по фону Pelvic является ядром, но в то же время вызывающим тревогу, клиническим навыком в высшем медицинском образовании. Традиционные подходы к преподаванию - зачастую оппортунистические или основанные на моделировании - подвергались критике за лишение технических навыков от реляционной и этической практики. В качестве альтернативной модели появились специально подготовленные педагоги, которые используют свои собственные тела для обучения и предоставления олицетворенной обратной связи. Цель этого аналитического обзора состояла в том, чтобы составить карту того, что известно о ПГС, чьи

Quality ratings of reviews in overviews: a comparison of reviews with and without dual (co-)authorship.

BackgroundPrevious research shows that many authors of Cochrane overviews were also involved in some of the included systematic reviews (SRs). This type of dual (co-)authorship (DCA) may be a conflict of interest and a potential source of bias. Our objectives were to (1) additionally investigate DCA in non-Cochrane overviews; (2) investigate whether there is an association between DCA and quality assessments of SRs in Cochrane and non-Cochrane overviews.MethodsWe selected a sample of Cochrane (n = 20) and non-Cochrane (n = 78) overviews for analysis. We extracted data on the number of reviews
