Brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (AVD) demonstrated to improve survival compared to ABVD as frontline treatment of advanced stage Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). We retrospectively collected data of 99 stage IV HL patients treated off-protocol with BV-AVD to evaluate the predictive role of interim-PET. Median age was 36 years (range: 18-82); 83.

- Electric quadrupole traps effectively levitate charged objects, from protons to small particles, influencing their rotational behavior when charge distribution varies.
- Experiments reveal a shift in motion for microparticles, transitioning from librational to synchronized rotation with the trap drive due to torque effects from the electric quadrupole.
- This technique showcases versatility by spinning various particles like silicon microrods and microdiamonds, with the latter enabling detailed motion analysis through embedded nitrogen vacancy centers, promising advances in levitated quantum nanomechanics.
Fertility preservation in lymphoma patients treated with immunochemotherapy regimens with or without radiotherapy: results of a retrospective multicenter Italian study (Ferty care).
Leuk Lymphoma
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined fertility preservation methods in 414 female lymphoma patients aged 18-40 diagnosed between 2010 and 2018, with most common cancer types being Hodgkin Lymphoma (74%) and various others.
- - Majority of the patients (71%) received ABVD as the first-line treatment, while fertility preservation strategies included GnRHa (78%), oral contraceptives, and cryopreservation of oocytes and ovarian tissue.
- - After treatment, 70% of women had regular menstrual cycles, 8% experienced premature ovarian failure, and there were 43 pregnancies observed during a median follow-up of 5 years, with age and treatment intensity being significant factors for amenorrhea and POF.
Rationale & Objective: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL) including pain, discomfort, fatigue, emotional distress, and impaired mobility. Stakeholders prioritized kidney cyst-related pain as an important core outcome domain in clinical trials, leading to the development of disease-specific assessment tools.
Study Design: The ADPKD Registry is hosted online with multiple disease-specific patient-reported outcomes modules to characterize the patient experience in the United States.
There is a growing demand for technologies able to decrease the environmental impact of agricultural activities without penalizing quali-quantitative characteristics of productions. In the case of viticulture, one of the key problems is represented by the spray drift during fungicide treatments. The diffusion in operational farming contexts of technologies based on variable-rate and recycling tunnel sprayers is often limited by their cost and, for the latter, by their size and lower maneuverability, representing clear disadvantages especially in case of small farms or in hilly and mountain areas.
