Pre-Transplant Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)-Derived Body Composition Measures as Predictors of Treatment Outcomes and Early Post-Transplant Complications in Patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) Treated with Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AutoHSCT).

: Changes in muscle mass and bone density are common in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) offers precise, non-invasive insights into a patient's physical condition before autologous stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT). This study examines how pre-transplant body composition impacts treatment outcomes and early complications in MM patients undergoing autoHSCT.

A hybrid protocol CLAG-M, a possible player for the first-line therapy of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia. A Polish Adult Leukemia Group experience.

Introduction: Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. So far, no standard approach has been established as the "know-how" of MPAL is based only on retrospective analyses performed on small groups of patients.

Materials And Methods: In this study, a retrospective analysis of the outcomes of adult MPAL patients included in the PALG registry between 2005 and 2024 who received the CLAG-M hybrid protocol as induction or salvage therapy was performed.

Sinus bradycardia as a rare adverse event in patients receiving cyclosporine A after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Cyclosporine A (CSA) is a commonly used immunosuppressive agent for the prophylaxis of graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). While tachycardia is a known adverse effect of CSA, bradycardia remains a phenomenon rarely described in the literature. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of the incidence of bradycardia in patients after alloHSCT treated with CSA between January 2020 and February 2023 at our center.
