- The study assessed the impact of ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) treatment on mortality and mechanical ventilation needs in neutropenic hematologic patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections (PA BSI), comparing it to other antibiotic treatments.
- Out of 132 patients analyzed, a significant majority (91%) had multidrug-resistant PA strains, with pneumonia and endogenous sources being the most common origins for BSI.
- Results showed that C/T treatment significantly reduced the need for mechanical ventilation and lowered both 7-day and 30-day mortality rates compared to alternative antibiotics in this vulnerable patient population.
Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers potentially curative therapy for numerous malignant and non-malignant diseases. The number of survivors and length of follow-up after successful HSCT is continually increasing. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can induce damage of various organs and tissues - from minimal potentially progressive subclinical changes to life-threatening conditions.

Patients And Methods: Eighty-two consecutive patients with CML, who received nilotinib and/or imatinib in a single haemato-oncological Slovak center between years 2002-2018 were evaluated in a retrospective study. The mean age was 55.
Background: Survivors of germ-cell tumors (GCT) may suffer from long-term adverse consequences. Our study was conducted to assess a long-term sexual functioning in GCT survivors.
Methods: GCT survivors (N = 170) from the National Cancer Institute in Slovakia completed a Sexual Function Questionnaire that was modified from PROMIS Sexual Function and Satisfaction Questionnaire 9-year median follow up (range 5-32) as a primary exploratory aim.
