Background: Glofitamab monotherapy induces durable remission in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more previous therapies, but has not previously been assessed as a second-line therapy. We investigated the efficacy and safety of glofitamab plus gemcitabine-oxaliplatin (Glofit-GemOx) versus rituximab (R)-GemOx in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Methods: The phase 3, randomised, open-label STARGLO trial was done at 62 centres in 13 countries in Asia and Australia, Europe, and North America.

Autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is standard therapy for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL), but many patients are either ineligible or unable to receive it. This retrospective study characterized outcomes in R/R LBCL, delineated by eligibility for, and receipt of, ASCT. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and event-free survival (EFS) for patients undergoing ASCT were 35.

Although broadly used, consolidative autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) has never been specifically investigated. Here, we have analyzed outcomes of auto-HCT for THRLBCL compared with diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL). Eligible for this retrospective registry study were adult patients with R/R THRLBCL and DLBCL, respectively, who underwent a first auto-HCT in a salvage-sensitive disease status as assessed by positron emission tomography-computed tomography between 2016 and 2021 and were registered with the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database.

Background: Nonverbal communication plays a pivotal role in the provision of effective patient care and has been associated with important patient health outcomes. Clinician posture, a nonverbal form of communication, may influence the patient experience and satisfaction. The relationship between clinician posture (i.

Article Synopsis
  • The report details the clinical examination and imaging findings of a 12-hour-old foal with microphthalmia and various eye abnormalities, including blindness and strabismus.
  • Diagnostic techniques employed included a thorough ophthalmic examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and histopathology to assess the condition of the eyes.
  • Findings revealed that the foal's eyes were significantly underdeveloped with no lenses, disorganized tissue, and signs of retinal detachment and dysplasia, highlighting the rarity of this congenital condition.
