Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy for primary and secondary CNS lymphomas.

Central nervous system lymphomas (CNSL) are a heterogeneous group of generally aggressive tumors whose prognosis varies significantly, being more favorable in patients with primary disease and poorer in those with secondary lymphoma. Current treatments typically involve intensive chemotherapy followed by consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation or whole-brain radiotherapy. However, if the disease relapses, there is no established standard of care.

Can COVID-19 cause severe neutropenia?

This is the first case of acquired severe neutropenia in the context of COVID-19 reported to date. This could illustrate another less frequent hematological disorder related to this novel viral infection.

Retrospective comparison between COBE SPECTRA and SPECTRA OPTIA apheresis systems for hematopoietic progenitor cells collection for autologous and allogeneic transplantation in a single center.

Introduction: COBE SPECTRA [COBE] (Terumo, BCT Lakewood CO) apheresis system has been the most used device for hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) collection. Recently, it has been replaced by the SPECTRA OPTIA [OPTIA] (Terumo, BCT Lakewood CO) apheresis system. The aim of our study is to compare both methods for HPC collection.

Intimate partner violence against young women: prevalence and associated factors in Europe.

Background: The magnitude of intimate partner violence (IPV) in young women is a source of increasing concern. The prevalence of IPV has not been analysed in Europe as a whole. The objective was to assess the prevalence and main characteristics of experiencing physical and/or sexual and psychological-only IPV among young women in the European Union and to identify individual and contextual associated risk factors.

Interventions for Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by a parasitic infection, is considered one of the most serious skin diseases in many low- and middle-income countries. Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis (OWCL) is caused by species found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and India. The most commonly prescribed treatments are antimonials, but other drugs have been used with varying success.

A "Before and After" in the Use of Emergency Services in Spain? The Impact of the Economic Crisis.

The objective of this study was to analyse whether variables associated with emergency services (ES) use in Spain have changed in the period 2006-2011 using a comparative analysis of the 2006 and 2011 Spanish National Health Surveys. The measure of association was the prevalence ratio with its 95% confidence interval, obtained by Poisson regression with robust variance. We studied interactions between the explanatory variables for ES use and year and subsequently performed a stratified analysis by year.
