Elafin as a Predictive Biomarker of Acute Skin Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation Using Post-Transplant High-Dose Cyclophosphamide.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) has shown favorable results in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Despite the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains as one of the main complications in this setting. Since the skin appears affected in up to 80% of cases of acute GVHD (aGVHD), its prognosis and diagnosis are essential for the correct management of these patients. Plasma concentration of elafin, an elastase inhibitor produced by keratinocytes, has been described elevated at the diagnosis of skin GVHD,

Medical countermeasures against henipaviruses: a review and public health perspective.

Henipaviruses, including Nipah virus, are regarded as pathogens of notable epidemic potential because of their high pathogenicity and the paucity of specific medical countermeasures to control infections in humans. We review the evidence of medical countermeasures against henipaviruses and project their cost in a post-COVID-19 era. Given the sporadic and unpredictable nature of henipavirus outbreaks, innovative strategies will be needed to circumvent the infeasibility of traditional phase 3 clinical trial regulatory pathways.
