Epidemiological and economic impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis with targeted immunotherapies for COVID-19 among immunosuppressed patients in Argentina.

BACKGROUND: Some immunosuppressive disorders have shown substantially lower protection after COVID-19 vaccination against severe outcomes. Therefore, pre-exposure prophylaxis is proposed. Targeted immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies represents an option for preventing severe COVID-19. However, there is a lack of epidemiological and economic information on pre-exposure prophylaxis with targeted immunotherapies against COVID-19 among immunosuppressed patients. Thus, this study aims to identify and estimate the size of target population and direct medical costs related to pre-exposure prophy

Seasonal clustering of sinopulmonary mucormycosis in patients with hematologic malignancies at a large comprehensive cancer center.

BackgroundInvasive Mucorales infections (IMI) lead to significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. The role of season and climatic conditions in case clustering of IMI remain poorly understood.MethodsFollowing detection of a cluster of sinopulmonary IMIs in patients with hematologic malignancies, we reviewed center-based medical records of all patients with IMIs and other invasive fungal infections (IFIs) between January of 2012 and August of 2015 to assess for case clustering in relation to seasonality.ResultsA cluster of 7 patients were identified with sinopulmonary IMIs (

The Treatment Gap in Osteoporosis.

Worldwide, there are millions of people who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, a bone disease that increases the risk of fracture due to low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone architecture. In the US alone, there are approximately ten million men and women diagnosed with osteoporosis and this number is still growing. Diagnosis is made by measuring bone mineral density. Medications used for the treatment of osteoporosis are bisphosphonates, denosumab, raloxifene, and teriparatide. Recently, romosozumab has been added as well. In recent years, a number of advances have been made

Computerized cognitive training in post-treatment hematological cancer survivors: a feasibility study.

BackgroundComputerized cognitive training (CCT) programs have shown some effectiveness in alleviating cognitive symptoms in long-term cancer survivors. For patients presenting with cognitive symptoms in the early post-treatment phase, the benefit of CCT is unclear. To assess the possibility of testing the effectiveness of CCT in the early post-treatment period, our aim was to investigate the feasibility of an 8-week home-based, online CCT intervention among patients who have recently completed treatment for hematological malignancy.MethodsThis study was a single-arm, non-blinded, feasibility s

Temporal patterns of chronic disease incidence after breast cancer: a nationwide population-based cohort study.

Palliative care utilization in oncology and hemato-oncology: a systematic review of cognitive barriers and facilitators from the perspective of healthcare professionals, adult patients, and their families.

BackgroundDespite the high potential to improve the quality of life of patients and families, palliative care services face significant obstacles to their use. In countries with high-resource health systems, the nonfinancial and nonstructural obstacles to palliative care services are particularly prominent. These are the cognitive barriers -knowledge and communication barriers- to the use of palliative care. To date no systematic review has given the deserved attention to the cognitive barriers and facilitators to palliative care services utilization. This study aims to synthesize knowledge on

IFNIKB: база данных типов I интерферонов для исследований антитуморной иммунности.

Тип I интерферон (ИФН-I) представляет собой важный класс цитокинов, способных ингибировать прогрессирование опухоли через механизмы, такие как иммуномодуляция опухолевого микросреды или воздействие на клеточные компоненты. Несмотря на то, что разработаны различные эндогенные и экзогенные терапевтические стратегии ИФН-I, отчеты о нарушении функции иммунных клеток, вызванных усилением сигнала ИФН-I, указывают на то, что оптимальные стратегии еще не установлены. Однако данные по ИФН-I в настоящее время распределены по нескольким публичным базам данных и отсутствуют систематическая интеграция, что

Development and implementation of the International AIDA Network Castleman's disease registry.

Castleman's disease (CD) consists of a wide spectrum of rare disorders classified into unicentric CD and multicentric CD (MCD), based on the diffusion of disease distribution and the severity of clinical manifestations. While unicentric CD is characterized by a single lymph node involvement, MCD is defined by multiple lymph node station involvement with more prominent systemic symptoms. MCD is further subdivided into HHV-8 associated MCD, polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal plasma cell disorder, skin changes (POEMS)-associated MCD, and idiopathic MCD (iMCD), which is also

Новый терапевтический режим, основанный на принципах строгой дезорганизации, может улучшить реакцию на диметилфумарат при множественном склерозе: результаты исследования технико-экономического обоснования клинических испытаний с открытой маркой.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Диметилфумарат (ДМФ) представляет собой перорально-модифицирующую терапию, рекомендуемую пациентам с множественным склерозом (МС) с повторным излучением. Однако недостаточная эффективность, проблемы безопасности, терпимость и плохое соблюдение зачастую приводят к прекращению использования ДМФ. В соответствии с новаторским подходом цель этого экспериментального клинического исследования, подтверждающего наличие концепций, состояла в том, чтобы оценить практическую осуществимость и безопасность внедрения изменчивости режимов лечения для преодоления компенсационных механизмов, лежащих в

Azathioprine for remission maintenance in anti-interferon-γ autoantibody-associated immunodeficiency syndrome- a retrospective single-center cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Anti-interferon-γ autoantibody (Anti-IFN-γ Aab) disease is associated with frequent recurrent infections. Adjunctive immunosuppressive treatment, including rituximab, can achieve disease remission. However, disease relapses and recurrent infections occur after immunosuppressive drugs are discontinued. Azathioprine (AZA) is used for maintenance therapy in many autoimmune diseases with few adverse effects. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of AZA in maintaining clinical remission in patients with Anti-IFN-γ Aab disease. METHODS: This retrospective observational study was

The Sarcoma-Specific Instrument to Longitudinally Assess Health-Related Outcomes of the Routine Care Cycle.

Patient-based health related quality of life (HRQoL) measurements are associated with an improvement in quality of care and outcomes. For a complex disease such as sarcoma, there is no disease-specific questionnaire available which covers all clinically relevant dimensions. Herein, we report on the development of an electronically implemented, sarcoma-specific instrument to assess health-related outcomes, which encompasses a combination of generic questionnaires tailored to the respective disease and treatment status covering the entire longitudinal care cycle. An interoperable digital platfor

Vitamin D in the Prevention and Treatment of Oral Cancer: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: Oral cancer is a serious health problem with an increasing incidence worldwide. Researchers have studied the potential anti-cancerous action of vitamin D and its association with several cancers including oral cancer. The purpose of this scoping review is to synthesize the existing literature on the role of vitamin D on oral cancer. Methods: A scoping review of the literature was conducted using the framework developed by Arkey and O'Malley and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Nine databases were searched for peer-reviewed human studies published in English that either investigated the

Unfavorable transcriptome profiles and social disadvantage in hematopoietic cell transplantation: a CIBMTR analysis.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) capture subjective social determinants of health (SDOHs), which can affect health outcomes through the stress response pathway. The conserved transcriptional response to adversity (CTRA) is a stress-mediated proinflammatory transcriptomic pattern that has been linked to adverse hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes. This study examined the association of pretransplant CTRA with patient-reported SDOHs in allogeneic HCT recipients. In this cross-sectional study, pre-HCT SDOH-related PROs included the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and the Functional Asse

Molecular diagnostics in cancer patients with suspected respiratory mold infections.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs), including aspergillosis and mucormycosis, are serious complications in cancer patients. Reliable detection of etiologic agents is challenging but important for optimal patient management. In a prospective multicenter study, we compared fungal detection by culture, specific and unspecific qPCRs, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) targeting Aspergillus and Mucorales in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum of adult cancer patients with suspected fungal pneumonia. In subgroups of patients, fungal DNA was amplified from serum. We evaluated 210
