A portion of multiple myeloma (MM) patients relapse early or do not respond to first line treatment. Identification of possible clinical and or biological features of these patients remains an unmet medical need. In this study we assesed the predictive markers for early relapse MM, defined as a progressive disease that occurred within 18 months, from autologoust stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in MM patients who did not have primary refractory disease. 74 consecutive MM patients were included in the study that received intensive therapy with ASCT. The study was able to identify the main features of newly diagnosed ER MM patients eligible for ASCT identifying the IgA isotype and the R2-ISS score system as the main predictive prognostic factors for ER in this cohort of MM patients.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from a real word research. The clinical data of 223 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥ 60 years) who were newly diagnosed with AML at our medical center between July 2017 and June 2022, including their clinical characteristics, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes, were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 223 patients (median age 67 years), 180 (80.

The design and synthesis of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are rapidly growing fields in optoelectronics. Considering the high demand for newly designed materials with superior optoelectronic characteristics, we investigated the doping process of Group-IIIA elements (namely, B, Al and Ga) onto alkali metal (AM = Li, Na and K)-supported COLi (AM@COLi) complexes to enhance their NLO response. The AM-COLi complexes retained their structural features following interaction with the Group-IIIA elements.

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is generally considered an incurable disease and even though new treatments are available, the median survival is approximately three years. The introduction of immune therapies for MBC highlights the importance of the immune system in cancer progression and treatment. CD163 anti-inflammatory myeloid cells, including tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), are known to be of relevance in early breast cancer but their role in MBC is not yet established.

Background: The ADSP is a National Institute on Aging (NIA) initiative focused on identifying genetic risk and protective variants for Alzheimer Disease (AD). Initial phases (Discovery and Discovery Extension) were predominantly non-Hispanic Whites of European Ancestry (NHW-EA). The ADSP expanded the population diversity in the Follow Up Study (ADSP-FUS), and the current phase, ADSP-FUS 2.

Developing efficient path integral (PI) methods for atomistic simulations of vibrational spectra in heterogeneous condensed phases and interfaces has long been a challenging task. Here, we present the h-CMD method, short for hybrid centroid molecular dynamics, which combines the recently introduced fast quasi-CMD (f-QCMD) method with fast CMD (f-CMD). In this scheme, molecules that are believed to suffer more seriously from the curvature problem of CMD, e.
