Impact of underlying disease and total body irradiation on the incidence of graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Background: Multiple factors have been described to influence the risk of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD or cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), including underlying chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and high-dose total body irradiation (TBI). However, the impact of the underlying disease or low-dose TBI on the risk of GVHD in the modern era has not been determined.

Objective: To determine risk factors for GVHD in the modern era in the setting of antithymocyte globulin (ATG)-based GVHD prophylaxis.

Precision Medicine for Pulmonary Vascular Disease: The Future Is Now (2023 Grover Conference Series).

Pulmonary vascular disease is not a single condition; rather it can accompany a variety of pathologies that impact the pulmonary vasculature. Applying precision medicine strategies to better phenotype, diagnose, monitor, and treat pulmonary vascular disease is increasingly possible with the growing accessibility of powerful clinical and research tools. Nevertheless, challenges exist in implementing these tools to optimal effect.

N-mixture models with camera trap imagery produce accurate abundance estimates of ungulates.

Abundance estimates inform ungulate management and recovery efforts. Yet effective and affordable estimation techniques remain absent for most ungulates lacking identifiable marks and inhabiting rugged or highly vegetated terrain. Methods using N-mixture models with camera trap imagery form an appealing solution but remain unvalidated.

Inactivation kinetics of and on specialty mushroom garnishes based on ramen soup broth temperature.

Recent listeriosis and salmonellosis outbreaks in the U.S. have been associated with consumption of specialty mushrooms, including enoki and wood ear.
