Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) is a rare disease classified as a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN). Recent advances in gene mutational profiling have clarified the characteristics of aCML as a disease entity relative to other MDS/MPNs. Although some studies suggest the efficacy of DNA demethylating agents and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, data about these agents are limited due to the small number of patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is only therapeutic option that can provide durable remission for aCML and other MDS/MPNs. Retrospective studies from Europe and Japan revealed the clinical results of allo-HSCT for aCML. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of aCML and the development of allo-HSCT and other therapeutic options.

Objectives: COVID-19 and systemic sclerosis (SSc) share multiple similarities in their clinical manifestations, alterations in immune response, and therapeutic options. These resemblances have also been identified in other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases where a common genetic component has been found. Thus, we decided to evaluate for the first time this shared genetic architecture with SSc.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and photobiomodulation (PBM), associated with antibothropic serum (AS), to treat a muscle lesion induced by Bothrops jararaca venom.
Methods: 108 Swiss male mice were used, divided into nine groups (n = 12) with different combinations of treatments. Animals were inoculated with 250 µg of B.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a bone-marrow-based cancer of plasma cells. Over the last 2 decades, marked treatment advances have led to improvements in the overall survival (OS) of patients with this disease. Key developments include the use of chemotherapy, immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies.

Background: The treatment landscape for active ulcerative colitis is rapidly evolving and current real-world evidence on response to advanced therapy is limited. This study aimed to determine indicators of inadequate therapeutic response among patients with ulcerative colitis in Germany initiating advanced therapy.
Methods: This retrospective analysis used German claims data (2015-2022) from adult patients (≥ 18 years).

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and irreversible lung disease with high mortality and limited treatment options. While single-dose bleomycin-induced models are commonly used to investigate the pathogenesis of IPF, they fail to adequately replicate the complex pathological features in human patients, thereby hindering comprehensive investigations. Previous studies utilizing repetitive bleomycin injections have demonstrated a closer resemblance to human IPF pathology; however, the time- and resource-intensive nature of this approach presents significant drawbacks.
