With new, effective treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) the impact of second malignancies is increasingly important. We performed a retrospective case-controlled study examining the effect of CLL and its treatment on melanoma-specific survival and recurrence. A total of 56 patients with melanoma with CLL were matched 1:1 to patients without CLL for age, date of diagnosis, gender and melanoma tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) stage. Multivariate analysis found CLL was associated with significantly worse melanoma-specific mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27-4.74, p = 0.007) and recurrence (HR 3.44, 95% CI 1.79-6.63, p < 0.001). Patients with CLL had poor immunotherapy tolerance and prior CLL treatment was not associated with melanoma outcomes.

The advent of BTK inhibitors has been transformative in the management of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or other B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. However, emergence of BTK or PLCG2 mutations lead to resistance to these compounds and are now a growing concern in clinical practice. Assessing BTK mutations is now becoming a priority to guide the therapeutic decision at further relapse.

Background: Exposure to brominated flame retardants (BFRs) may negatively impact human health. The association of BFRs with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population is unclear. Meanwhile, limited studies have investigated the potential role of oxidative stress and inflammation in this link.

Background: Mitochondria-driven oxidative/redox stress and inflammation play a major role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathophysiology. Compounds targeting mitochondrial metabolism may improve mitochondrial function, inflammation, and redox stress; however, there is limited evidence of their efficacy in CKD.
Methods: We conducted a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial comparing the effects of 1200 mg/day of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) or 1000 mg/day of nicotinamide riboside (NR) supplementation to placebo in 25 people with moderate-to-severe CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <60mL/min/1.

About one out of two diabetic patients develop diabetic neuropathy (DN), of these 20% experience neuropathic pain (NP) leading to individual, social, and health-economic burden. Risk factors for NP are largely unknown; however, premature aging was recently associated with several chronic pain disorders. DNA methylation-based biological age (DNAm) is associated with disease risk, morbidity, and mortality in different clinical settings.

Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) are mainstay prophylactic treatment options for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), widely used in haploidentical stem cell transplantation. Due to a lack of prospective studies, a number of retrospective comparisons have yielded different conclusions as to which prophylaxis regimen is superior. We performed a meta-analysis of these studies to get more informed and comprehensive decisions from clinicians.
