Background: In this study, we aimed to identify microRNA from urine of multiple myeloma patients that could serve as a biomarker for the disease.
Results: Analysis of urine samples was performed using Serum/Plasma Focus PCR MicroRNA Panel (Exiqon) and verified using individual TaqMan miRNA assays for qPCR. We found 20 deregulated microRNA (p < 0.05); for further validation, we chose 8 of them. Nevertheless, only differences in expression levels of miR-22-3p remained close to statistical significance.
Conclusions: Our preliminary results did not confirm urine microRNA as a potential biomarker for multiple myeloma.

Purpose: STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is involved in viral and bacterial defense through interferon pathway and innate immunity. Increased susceptibility to infection is a common manifestation of multiple myeloma (MM). Thus, we aimed to explore the clinical significance and possible mechanism of STING in MM.

Background: Patients with hematological malignancies are at high-risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Oral vancomycin is a first-line treatment for CDI. Vancomycin has been widely reported to induce flushing syndrome (also known as Red man syndrome), a well-known hypersensitivity reaction mostly occurs after intravenous administration.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) clinical management is challenging owing to its relapse and refractoriness to treatment. Understanding the treatment patterns and refractory dynamics is crucial for optimizing patient care. This study aimed to estimate the evolution of MM according to the treatment line and refractoriness status in Italy.

Multiple myeloma treatment has evolved rapidly with the development of novel targeted therapies. The paper outlines multiple myeloma epidemiology, current treatments, and recent advances, highlighting the role of bispecific antibodies. Brazilian authorities have approved 3 bispecific antibodies (teclistamab, elranatamab, and talquetamab) for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients who have received at least three prior therapies.
