Two patients with mononucleosis, one due to cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the other due to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), presenting with high fever, malaise and hepatitis, had granulomas in the bone marrow but not in the liver. In patients who have unexplained fever, bone marrow granulomas may be a clue to CMV or EBV infection and need not initially raise the fear of prognostically more severe illness.

Impact of Cement Distribution on the Efficacy of Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Fractures: Assessment with an MRI-Based Reference Marker.

Background: No studies have evaluated the impact of the cement distribution as classified on the basis of the fracture bone marrow edema area (FBMEA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with acute, painful, single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The bone cement distribution on the postoperative radiograph was divided into 4 types according to the distribution of the FBMEA on the preoperative MRI.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. Changes in the immune system also observed in cancer may suggest a higher prevalence of cancer in the MS patient population. In recent years, many highly effective immunosuppressive drugs have been introduced into disease-modifying therapy (DMT) which may be associated with a higher risk of cancer development in patients with MS.

ZFAND6 is a zinc finger protein that interacts with TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and polyubiquitin chains and has been linked to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling. Here, we report a previously undescribed function of ZFAND6 in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis by promoting mitophagy. Deletion of ZFAND6 in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) upregulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the accumulation of damaged mitochondria due to impaired mitophagy.

Elevated circulating levels of calprotectin (CAL), the S100A8/A9 heterodimer, are biomarkers of severe systemic inflammation. Here, we investigate the effects of CAL on early human hematopoiesis. CAL demonstrates limited impact on gene expression in stem and progenitor cells, in contrast with interleukin-6 (IL6), which promotes the expression of the and genes in hematopoietic progenitors and the generation of monocytes that release CAL.
