Article Synopsis
Lymphoma and plasma cell disorders are the most common indications for autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation. We conducted a prospective multicenter study with the aim of testing the feasibility of plerixafor (PLX) in combination with R-DHAP and G-CSF in 37 patients with relapsed refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) in order to collect a large number of HSC with a goal of transplantation. After R-DHAP, daily monitoring of peripheral blood CD34 + cells by flow cytometry was performed starting on day + 13.

Although estrogens primarily act on the female liver through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), the specific contribution of impaired ERα signaling in triggering MASLD after menopause remains unclear.
Methods: To address this gap in knowledge, we compared the liver transcriptomes of sham-operated (SHAM) and ovariectomized (OVX) control and liver ERα knockout (LERKO) female mice by performing RNA-Seq analysis.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of frontline TKI therapy in elderly patients (75 years or older) with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) among a large cohort of 332 patients.
- Results showed that 85.8% of patients received imatinib (IM), while 14.2% were treated with second-generation TKIs (2G-TKI) like dasatinib and nilotinib, with a notable percentage starting on reduced doses.
- The findings indicated increased usage of IM after generic versions became available in Italy, but significant discontinuation rates due to resistance and toxicities were observed, highlighting the need for personalized treatment assessments and further studies on lower TKI doses.
Comparative Analysis of ECG and Holter Monitoring in the Assessment of Heart Rate in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and Sinus Rhythm.

Background: Heart rate (HR) has shown prognostic value in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and sinus rhythm. However, the method of measurement is debated in the literature.
Objectives: To compare HR on Holter with 3 resting electrocardiograms (ECG1, ECG2, and ECG3) in patients with HFrEF and sinus rhythm.
