Cardiovascular sequelae in symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection survivors.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to myocardial and endothelial damage. The present study sought to characterize the cardiovascular sequel in a large group of consecutive patients admitted for out-patient cardiovascular follow-up after a symptomatic COVID-19 infection.

Methods: The aims of this study were as follows: to evaluate the presence of post-covid cardiovascular symptoms in an unselected population of outpatients referred to a post-COVID outpatient cardiology clinic and to characterize the long-term abnormalities associated with a more severe COVID-19 infection clinical course.

BCR::ABL1-like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a single institution experience on identification of potentially therapeutic targetable cases.

Background: BCR::ABL1-like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCR::ABL1-like ALL) is characterized by inferior outcomes. Current efforts concentrate on the identification of molecular targets to improve the therapy results. The accessibility to next generation sequencing, a recommended diagnostic method, is limited.

The presence of additional cytogenetic aberrations in chronic myeloid leukemia cells at the time of diagnosis or their appearance on tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy predicts the imatinib treatment failure.

Unlabelled: Currently used treatment of CML dramatically improved the prognosis of disease. However, additional chromosome aberrations (ACA/Ph+) are still one of the adverse prognostic factors.

Objectives: evaluation of the impact of ACA/Ph+ appearance during disease outcome on the response to treatment.

Spinal range of motion and plantar pressure in sport climbers.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the range of motion (ROM) of lumbar and thoracic articulations and static and dynamic plantar pressure in sport climbing athletes.

Methods: The sample included 30 sport climbers with a minimum of 2 years training experience and 30 physical education students who served as an active untrained control. ROM was assessed by a Saunders digital inclinometer and plantar pressure by a baropodometric platform.
