Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) With T-Cell Differentiation Arising From Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML).

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by peripheral blood monocytosis and bone marrow dysplasia. In approximately one-fourth of cases, CMML can demonstrate progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), referred to as AML ex CMML. We present a 58-year-old woman with a past medical history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who demonstrated 24% bone marrow blasts on a repeat biopsy obtained two years after being diagnosed with CMML.

Kidney Function Decline After COVID-19 Infection.

Importance: COVID-19 infection has been associated with acute kidney injury. However, its possible association with long-term kidney function is not well understood.

Objective: To investigate whether kidney function decline accelerated after COVID-19 compared with after other respiratory tract infections.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Disinfectants in Reducing Contamination of Bacterial and Viral Murine Pathogens on Gloved Hands.

Disinfectant application to gloved hands before handling SPF mice is standard practice to minimize transmission of pathogens and microbial contamination between cages. The risk of contamination with murine pathogens on gloves as well as the efficacy of disinfectant application for this step is largely unknown. This study aimed to determine if murine norovirus (MNV), Helicobacter spp.
