Pneumonia in Transplant Recipients: A Comprehensive Review of Diagnosis and Management.

Transplant recipients have an increased risk of complications, including graft dysfunction and infections, which can be life-threatening if not recognized early. Pneumonia ranks as one of the most frequent complications in both solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Clinical symptoms manifest late during infections in immunocompromised patients. An aggressive approach centered on early confirmatory diagnosis and a low threshold for empiric therapy is often the most effective strategy. The isolation of a pathogen in an upper airway sample does not necessarily mean the same organis

High Serum miR-361-3p Predicts Early Postdischarge Infections after Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.

BackgroundAutologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is currently the backbone of the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and relapsed and refractory lymphomas. Notably, infections contribute to over 25% of fatalities among AHSCT recipients within the initial 100 days following the procedure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate three selected miRNAs: hsa-miR-155-5p, hsa-miR-320c, and hsa-miR-361-3p, in identifying AHSCT recipients at high risk of infectious events up to 100 days post-transplantation after discharge.Materials and methodsThe study group consisted of 58 patients (4

Primary IgA nephropathy: current challenges and future prospects.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, exhibiting a variable clinical and pathological course and significantly contributing to the global burden of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Current standards of care focus on optimization of antihypertensive and antiproteinuric therapies (typically renin- angiotensin system blockade) to reduce disease progression. Much recent attention has focused on whether additional immunosuppression confers better outcomes than supportive management alone, and indeed, several trials have demonstrat

Targeted protein degradation: advances in drug discovery and clinical practice.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a revolutionary therapeutic strategy in disease management, providing a stark contrast to traditional therapeutic approaches like small molecule inhibitors that primarily focus on inhibiting protein function. This advanced technology capitalizes on the cell's intrinsic proteolytic systems, including the proteasome and lysosomal pathways, to selectively eliminate disease-causing proteins. TPD not only enhances the efficacy of treatments but also expands the scope of protein degradation applications. Despite its considerable potential, TPD faces chal

Curcumin: An age-old anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic agent.

Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that has been used for treating medical conditions for many years. Several experimental and pharmacologic trials have demonstrated its efficacy in the role as an anti-inflammatory agent. Curcumin has been shown to be effective in treating chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's and common malignancies like colon, stomach, lung, breast, and skin cancers. As treatments in medicine become more and more complex, the answer may be something simpler. This is a review article written with the objective to syst

Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk: The Role of Cardio-oncology.

Cardio-oncology is a subspecialty of cardiology. It was created to address oncology data indicating that newly developed drugs for cancer treatment were having unanticipated cardiac side effects. Cardio-oncology designs primary and secondary risk strategies through surveillance as well as interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk (CVR), prevent cardiotoxicities, and manage the side effects that may occur. Rather than discuss in detail the cardiotoxicities of specific therapies or radiation, this review article will explore the interplay of cancer, cancer treatment, and CVR. It will examine t

Multiple cystic lung disease.

Multiple cystic lung disease represents a diverse group of uncommon disorders that can present a diagnostic challenge due to the increasing number of diseases associated with this presentation. High-resolution computed tomography of the chest helps to define the morphological aspects and distribution of lung cysts, as well as associated findings. The combination of appearance upon imaging and clinical features, together with extrapulmonary manifestations, when present, permits confident and accurate diagnosis of the majority of these diseases without recourse to open-lung biopsy. The main dise

TGF-β in hematologic malignancies: molecular functions and clinical applications.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) represents a family of multifunctional cytokines, primarily secreted by megakaryocytes, monocytes, T lymphocytes, bone marrow stromal cells, and other cell types. TGF-β plays an essential role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune homeostasis. As a key immunoregulatory cytokine, TGF-β contributes to an immunosuppressive network within the microenvironment of hematologic malignancies by modulating the functions of both adaptive and innate immune cells. Current studies have s

Genetic factors and management strategies in aortic health: a literature review of inherited aortopathy.

Inherited aortopathies, including Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Loeys-Dietz syndrome, are genetic disorders characterized by structural abnormalities of the aorta that predispose individuals to life-threatening complications like aneurysms and dissections. These conditions result from mutations in genes essential for maintaining aortic wall integrity, such as FBN1, TGFBR1, and COL3A1, affecting extracellular matrix components and the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway. Marfan syndrome has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 5000, while Loeys-Dietz syndrome and vascul

Rhabdomyolysis secondary to COVID-19 infection and vaccination: a review of literature.

Rhabdomyolysis (RML), characterized by the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers and the release of muscle contents into the bloodstream, has emerged as a notable complication associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and vaccination. Studies have reported an increased incidence of RML in individuals with severe COVID-19 infection. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear and are believed to involve the host's immune response to the virus. Furthermore, RML has been documented as a rare adverse event following COVID-19 vaccination, particularly with mRNA vaccines. Proposed

New Approaches for the Treatment of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: Current Status and Future Directions.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a severe complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that affects various organs leading to a reduced quality of life. The condition often requires enduring immunosuppressive therapy, which can also lead to the development of severe side effects. Several approaches including small molecule inhibitors, antibodies, cytokines, and cellular therapies are now being developed for the treatment of cGvHD, and some of these therapies have been or are currently tested in clinical trials. In this review, we discuss these emerging therapi

Воздействие витамина D на герпесвирусные инфекции.

Помимо своей классической роли в регулировании метаболизма кальция и фосфата, витамин D также оказывает значительное влияние на модуляцию иммунитета. Витамин D регулирует иммунную реакцию, переходя от воспламенительного состояния к более толерогенному one путем увеличения выброса антивоспалительных цитокинов при одновременном ослаблении регулирования проинфламаторных цитокинов. Таким образом, низкий уровень витамина D связан с повышенным риском возникновения аутоиммунных заболеваний, таких, как множественный склероз и тип 1 диабет. Кроме того, этот прохормон также способствует высвобождению хо
