Background Aims: Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are considered good candidates for a growing spectrum of cell therapies. We have validated a protocol that makes use of the washouts of discarded collection sets, left over at the end of the filtration of bone marrow (BM) explants performed for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation.
Methods: The method consists of direct plating of cells without density-gradient isolation followed by two detachment steps and expansion in 5% human platelet lysate (hPL).
Results: In a median of 26 days, 14 bags for adult patients and nine bags for pediatric patients for a standard dose of 1x10(6) hMSC/kg body weight could be prepared from the expansion of a fraction of the cells recovered from seven independent washouts. Moreover, 151 vials could be frozen from the remaining cells. The theoretical full expansion of all the frozen vials (validated by the expansion of two independent vials) could have allowed the production of 173 bags for adults and 348 bags for pediatric patients.
Conclusions: The washouts of discarded bags and filters left over at the end of routine BM explants filtration are a very abundant source of hMSC precursors that can be easily utilized for clinical applications.

Objectives: To investigate the duration of B-cell depletion in a cohort of patients receiving ocrelizumab or rituximab for multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD).
Methods: We retrospectively searched our database for patients diagnosed with MS or NMOSD, who were receiving ocrelizumab or rituximab and had available CD19 measurements. We collected demographic data, infusion doses, infusion dates, CD19 absolute counts and percentages, and their collection dates.
Effects of Unfiltered Cigarettes on Smoking Behavior and Toxicant Exposure: Protocol for a Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial.

Background: Plastic filters on cigarette butts are a widespread source of nonbiodegradable, toxic environmental waste. State and local legislation to ban the sale of single-use cigarettes may be considered to prevent this waste, but scientific evidence on the impact of switching smokers to unfiltered cigarettes on smoking behavior and toxicant exposures is needed to inform this policy. We have designed an open-label, randomized, 9-week, crossover clinical trial of adult filtered-cigarette smokers who switch to unfiltered cigarettes.

Background: The use of procurement biopsies for assessing kidney quality has been implicated as a driver of the nearly 20% kidney discard rate in the United States. Yet in some contexts, biopsies may boost clinical confidence, enabling acceptance of kidneys that would otherwise be discarded. We leveraged a novel organ offer simulation platform to conduct a controlled experiment isolating biopsy effects on offer acceptance decisions.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal alterations in the United States. Medication induced AP has been undervalued in the surgical environment as etiologic entity of necrohemorragic pancreatitis (NHP). A case of NHP induced by valproic acid (VA) is presented, and an exclusion diagnostic algorithm is proposed.

Article Synopsis
- Paediatric researchers are using the multiple-breath washout (MBW) test to study lung function in infants, but many tests don't meet acceptability standards.
- A new statistical model was developed for analyzing MBW data, showing better performance with a large dataset of infants and allowing for more effective use of incomplete tests.
- The model aids in estimating lung function while utilizing previously discarded data, highlights benefits of Bayesian methods, and emphasizes the importance of accounting for repeated measures in research.
