Article Synopsis
- EBV is linked to various types of lymphomas, including non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin subtypes, and its role in cancer development and the tumor environment is still being explored.
- Both the International Consensus Classification and WHO-HAEM5 emphasize the unique characteristics of EBV-related lymphoproliferative disorders.
- Recent advancements have been made in understanding EBV, its effects on the immune response, and using it for targeted therapies and disease monitoring.
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) accounts for 0.4% of all new cancer cases globally. Despite high cure rates with standard treatment, approximately 15% of patients still experience relapsed or refractory (RR) disease, and many of these eventually die from lymphoma-related causes.

Here, we investigate changes in emergency transfusion practice and rates of red cell alloimmunization with the use of O positive blood for emergency transfusion.
Study Design And Methods: State-wide retrospective review of emergency transfusions between June 2020 and June 2021.
Objective: Frailty is associated with increased vulnerability to poor health. There is growing interest in understanding the association between frailty and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review explored how frailty is measured in patients with CKD and the association between frailty and adverse outcomes across different stages of renal impairment.
