Plasma exchange (PE) outcomes in patients with trigger-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) have not been comprehensively reviewed. Embase and MEDLINE® were searched on 03/14/2022 for English language articles published after 2007, alongside a congress materials search (2019-2022; PROSPERO: CRD42022325170). Studies with patients with trigger-associated TMA (excluding thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, 'typical' hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, post-partum TMA, and TMAs with known genetic cause) who received PE or plasma infusion (PI) and reported treatment response (including measures), safety, patient-/caregiver-reported outcomes, or economic burden data were examined.

Article Synopsis
- Rhesus macaques vaccinated with RhCMV/SIV show about 59% protection against SIVmac239M exposure, but the mechanism behind this protection is still unclear.
- Researchers explored how the gut microbiome of the macaques influences the effectiveness of the vaccine, analyzing rectal swabs for microbial profiles before and after SIV exposure.
- They discovered a common gut microbial signature associated with vaccine protection across different vaccination groups, indicating that gut microbiota play a significant role in the immune response to the RhCMV/SIV vaccine.
