Privacy-preserving solution for vehicle parking services complying with EU legislation.

Today, many modern cities adopt online smart parking services as best practices. Citizens can easily access these services using their smartphones or the infotainment panels in their cars. These services' primary objective is to give drivers the ability to quickly identify free parking slots, which should reduce parking time, save fuel, and relieve traffic in urban areas.

Molecular profiling of EBV associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a rare aggressive B-cell lymphoma subtype characterized by an adverse clinical outcome. EBV infection of lymphoma cells has been associated with different lymphoma subtypes while the precise role of EBV in lymphomagenesis and specific molecular characteristics of these lymphomas remain elusive. To further unravel the biology of EBV associated DLBCL, we present a comprehensive molecular analysis of overall 60 primary EBV positive (EBV+) DLBCLs using targeted sequencing of cancer candidate genes (CCGs) and genome-wide determination of recurrent somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) in 46 cases, respectively.

Addition of cyclophosphamide and higher doses of dexamethasone do not improve outcomes of patients with AL amyloidosis treated with bortezomib.

Bortezomib, in combination with dexamethasone (VD) or with the addition of cyclophosphamide (VCD), is highly effective in patients with amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Currently, VCD is considered as a primary regimen for patients with AL, but it is not clear whether the addition of cyclophosphamide to VD further and significantly improves efficacy, given the substantial activity of bortezomib itself. We retrospectively compared the outcomes of 101 patients with AL amyloidosis who received VD (n=59) or VCD (n=42) in two consecutive periods.

Psoriasis in patients with mycosis fungoides: a clinicopathological study of 25 patients.

Background: It has been reported that patients with psoriasis are at increased risk for developing lymphoma including cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). However, the comorbidity and the histopathologic correlation of psoriasis and mycosis fungoides (MF) have been less studied.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relation between MF and psoriasis.

Renal outcomes in patients with AL amyloidosis: Prognostic factors, renal response and the impact of therapy.

A staging system for patients with renal AL amyloidosis, based on eGFR (<50 ml/min/1.73 m ) and proteinuria (≥5 g/day) at diagnosis, as well as criteria for renal progression (≥25% eGFR reduction) and response (≥30% reduction of proteinuria without renal progression) were recently proposed. We validated these criteria in a cohort of 125 patients with renal AL amyloidosis, mostly treated with bortezomib or lenalidomide.
