Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andrea Henden"
- Andrea Henden's recent research primarily focuses on the management and complications of infections in hematology and oncology patients, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation, highlighting the incidence and risks associated with bloodstream infections and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
- Key findings include the low rates of complications and β-lactam resistance in viridans group streptococci in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, as well as the identification of IL-6's role in impairing antiviral immunity post bone marrow transplantation, demonstrating the complex interplay between infections and immune Dysfunction in these populations.
- Henden's work also emphasizes the clinical implications of granulocyte transfusions for treating prolonged cytopenias post CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, and the need for innovative methodologies to better assess and manage gastrointestinal complications associated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
