Donor stem cell health may be critically important to the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Herein, we performed this systematic review and meta-analysis including meta-regression to assess the impact of donor-engrafted clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) and impact of pre-transplant CH in autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT). We applied random-effects models to analyze 5 allo-HSCT studies with 3192 donor-recipient pairs and 9 auto-HSCT studies with 2854 patients.

Frequently, it is caused by brachiocephalic artery (BCA) atherosclerosis. Timely detection of atherosclerosis and its unstable course can allow for a timely response to potentially dangerous changes and reduce the risk of vascular complications.

Furthermore, progression of disease within 24 months is associated with increased mortality rates for FL. In the last five years, we have witnessed an upsurge in the commercial availability of targeted therapies for relapsed/refractory (R/R) FL, including chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) products, bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs), epigenetic modifier therapies, and next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors.

The catalyst-free hydrolytic polycondensation of methyltrimethoxysilane under microwave radiation has been studied. The effect of molar ratios of the reagents (MTMS/HO = 1/0.5-1/9), radiation power (20-300 W), temperature (30-50 °C) and duration of exposure (2.
