Background: Patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia who previously received hypomethylating agents for prior myeloid neoplasms (HMA-sAML) face a dismal prognosis.
Methods: The authors analyze the characteristics, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes of patients with HMA-sAML from the Programa Español para el Tratamiento de Hemopatías Malignas (PETHEMA) registry.
Results: A total of 479 patients were included, mostly from prior myelodysplastic syndrome (84%).
In recent years, the escalation of industrial activities has significantly increased natural resource pollution, with air pollution becoming a major cause of diseases affecting living organisms. To address this critical environmental challenge, this study proposes a comprehensive air pollution monitoring system utilizing advanced technological instruments based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The system's primary objective is to provide precise, rapid, and efficient measurements, enabling detailed examinations of pollutant behaviors and facilitating data dissemination.

Objectives: The objective was to describe ACS symptom information on social media platforms, including Twitter (now named X), Instagram, and TikTok.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the relationship between tree maturation size and reproduction, finding that larger tree species tend to start reproducing at a smaller size than expected, challenging previous assumptions.
- - Researchers analyzed seed production data from 486 tree species across different climates, revealing that maturation size increases with maximum size but not in a straightforward manner.
- - The results indicate that this trend is particularly pronounced in colder climates, highlighting the importance of understanding maturation size to better predict how forests will respond to climate change and disturbances.
Article Synopsis
- Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the U.S. and Europe, but there's limited data from Latin America, particularly Chile.
- The study involved 722 Chilean patients diagnosed with FL from 2000 to 2019, revealing a median diagnosis age of 62, with many patients presenting advanced disease and a significant number affected by bone marrow involvement.
- Key findings show that adding rituximab to chemotherapy improves overall survival and response rate, while experiencing POD24 (progression of disease within 24 months) indicates much poorer survival outcomes.
