This study aims to assess the safety, virological, and clinical outcomes of convalescent plasma transfusion (CPT) in immunocompromised patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study that included all immunosuppressed patients with COVID-19 and RNAemia from May 2020 to March 2023 treated with CPT. We included 81 patients with hematological malignancies (HM), transplants, or autoimmune diseases (69% treated with anti-CD20).

Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated the prevalence and factors influencing neuro-functional disability in adult patients 12 months after experiencing community-acquired bacterial meningitis (CABM).
  • Of the 281 patients analyzed, approximately 30% showed some form of neuro-functional disability after a year, with the most common cause being Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
  • Key factors linked to lasting disability included having pneumococcal meningitis, physical disabilities at discharge, and behavioral disorders, while dexamethasone treatment didn't show a significant impact.

The coordination chemistry of a priori weakly σ-donating nitroaromatic phosphines is addressed through a series of nitro-substituted (N-phenyl-benzimidazol-1-yl)diphenylphosphines in Rh complexes. From a set of seven such phosphines L=L (x, y, z=0 or 1=number of NO substituents at the 5, 6 and N-Ph para positions, respectively), including the non-nitrated parent L and its dicationic N-methyl counterpart L ', three LRhCl(COD) and seven L RhCl(CO) complexes have been obtained in 72-95 % yield. Despite of a cis orientation of the L and CO ligands, the C=O IR stretching frequency ν varies in the expected sense, from 1967±1 cm for L to 1978±1 cm for L , and 2005 cm for L '.
