Predictors of fluid overload in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant patients receiving post-transplant cyclophosphamide.

Background: Fluid overload (FO) commonly occurs during hospitalization for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Grade 2-4 FO is associated with day +100 non-relapse mortality.1 Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) for graft-versus-host disease prevention requires aggressive IV hydration to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis.

Masking Behaviors in the Absence of Local Mandate-An Observational Study from Hillsborough County, Florida.

The purpose of this study was to understand the predictors of masking-especially age, race/ethnicity and gender-in Hillsborough County Florida, a region without mask mandates. Masking and social distancing behaviors of individuals were observed in Hillsborough County during one-week intervals in July 2021, August 2021 and Late September-early October 2021. Demographic and behavioral observations were recorded and logistic regression was utilized to determine the odds ratio of wearing a mask amongst various groups.

Patient-centered Outcomes in Breast Cancer: Description of EQ-5D-5L and EORTC-QLQ-BR23 Measurements in Real-world Data and Their Association With Survival.

Aims: In recent years, major improvements in breast cancer treatments have led to a significant increase in survival. Despite that, this population's quality of life (QoL) information is lacking, especially real-world data.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, multicentre, observational study of female breast cancer patients, without prior systemic treatment, treated between 2012 and 2019 in private health care in Brazil.

Depyrogenation using Plasmas: A Novel Approach for Endotoxin Deactivation Using a Dielectric Barrier Discharge at Atmospheric Pressure.

Developing a low-cost depyrogenation process is vital in extending medical applicability of polymers that can be used in medicine. We present an overview of the plasma-based depyrogenation literature and address the need to develop a non-thermal plasma-based depyrogenation process for delicate materials such as chitosan. We present a low-cost plasma apparatus to treat chitosan powder in hermetically sealed bags.

Clustering Esports Gameplay Consumers Game Experiences.

This study focuses on "game experiences" in the context of esports gameplay consumption and aims to identify adequate consumer groups based on their esports experience including perceptions of gameplay, watching, and purchasing hardware. The purpose of this study is to identify adequate consumer groups through consumer segmentation. Based on the literature review, a matrix of esports gameplay was proposed based on high/low esports gameplay, viewing esports, and hardware enthusiasm.
