Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a serious type of pneumonia, typically contracted by susceptible people through the inhalation of aerosols contaminated with . In this report, the first case of coinfection with - is described. A possible source of the Lp infection may be the hotel in Paris (France) where the patient had stayed before developing the symptoms.

p140Cap is an adaptor protein involved in assembling multi-protein complexes regulating several cellular processes. p140Cap acts as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer (BC) and neuroblastoma patients, where its expression correlates with a better prognosis. The role of p140Cap in tumor metabolism remains largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 patients on ECMO are at a high risk for bloodstream infections (BSI), with 44% of a study group experiencing these infections during treatment in an ICU from March 2020 to March 2022.
  • * Patients with BSI had shorter pre-ECMO respiratory support and longer ECMO treatment compared to those without BSI, but overall mortality rates were similar between the two groups.
  • * The study identified different microbial patterns in primary (mostly Gram-positive pathogens) versus secondary BSIs (more Gram-negative pathogens), and the use of Sars-CoV-2 antiviral drugs appeared to reduce ICU mortality risk.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease, at both inter- and intra-tumor levels, and this heterogeneity is a crucial determinant of malignant progression and response to treatments. In addition to genetic diversity and plasticity of cancer cells, the tumor microenvironment contributes to tumor heterogeneity shaping the physical and biological surroundings of the tumor. The activity of certain types of immune, endothelial or mesenchymal cells in the microenvironment can change the effectiveness of cancer therapies via a plethora of different mechanisms.
