Background: The long-term evolution of COVID-19 in patients hospitalized during the pandemic's first wave remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to identify COVID-19 pulmonary phenotypes and their longitudinal patterns over a 12-month follow-up.

Methods: COVID-19 patients discharged from Pisa University Hospital (Italy) between March-September 2020, were evaluated at T3, T12, and T24 months post-discharge.

Myeloid chimerism better reflects donor stem cell engraftment than whole-blood chimerism in assessing graft function following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). We describe our experience with 130 patients aged younger than 18 years, treated with allogeneic HCT using bone marrow or PBSC from HLA-matched donors for non-malignant diseases, whose pre-transplant conditioning therapy included alemtuzumab and who were monitored with lineage-specific chimerism after transplant. At 6 years post-transplant, overall survival (OS) was 91.

Clinical relevance of feto-maternal microchimerism in (hematopoietic stem cell) transplantation.

Toleration of a semi-allogeneic fetus in the mother's uterus as well as tolerance after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) appear to share some immunologic concepts. The existence of microchimeric cells, and the original idea of a bidirectional cell trafficking between mother and child during pregnancy have been known for decades. Today, origins and mechanisms of persistence of microchimeric cells are intensively being elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • - Free jejunal transfer is an important surgical technique for reconstructing complex defects following total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy (TPLE), especially when additional soft tissue removal is necessary. - The study presents a new approach using a combination of free jejunal and mesenteric flaps to simultaneously repair two distinct defects in a patient with extensive cancer-related tissue loss. - An 81-year-old patient successfully had a chimera flap surgery, leading to a smooth recovery without complications or recurrences for eight months, demonstrating the effectiveness of this dual reconstruction method.
