This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of peripheral absolute monocyte count (AMC) in combination with absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at the time of relapse in a cohort of 57 patients with early relapsed (first complete remission <12 months) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses revealed that normal AMC in combination with normal/high ALC (versus low/high AMC in combination with low ALC) was significantly associated with improved OS. We concluded that the combination of AMC and ALC could be used as a prognostic marker for survival outcomes in early relapsed AML.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementia risk may be influenced by the immune function and associated with several white blood cell type counts. In cognitively normal Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white older adults we related three white blood cell types previously associated with AD risk to tau positron emission tomography (PET) values in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), where tau accumulates early. We assessed whether amyloid positivity moderated this relationship.

Objective: Nephrotic syndrome, a debilitating manifestation of kidney disease, often arises from diverse glomerular disorders and is accompanied by notable comorbidities. Despite indications of an immunological etiology, the precise role of immune cells in its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the causal relationships between circulating immune cell phenotypes and nephrotic syndrome using a rigorous bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers examined the link between gut microbiota and Autoimmune Liver Diseases (AILDs) using Mendelian Randomization, a method to infer causal relationships while minimizing bias.
- Their analysis found that a higher involvement of gut microbiota correlates with increased risk for Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), with immune cells mediating part of this risk.
- The study indicates that understanding these immune mechanisms could help inform preventive strategies for managing AILDs in clinical settings.

Introduction: Peripheral monocytes have been reported to correlate with clinical outcomes in various types of malignancies. Previous reports have also shown that acute-phase thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) plasma could induce the activation of monocytes. However, the significance of peripheral blood absolute monocyte count (AMC) in idiopathic TTP remains an unanswered question.

Background: Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a subgroup with a high incidence and dismal prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of robust models for predicting R/R DLBCL. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to identify key determinants to be incorporated into a novel nomogram to enhance the identification of DLBCL patients at elevated risk of refractoriness/recurrence.
