Background: The impact of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) on haematoma size after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) compared to no-anticoagulation is controversial and prospective data are lacking.
Methods: The investigator-initiated, multicentre, prospective RASUNOA-prime study enrolled patients with non-traumatic ICH and atrial fibrillation while on a DOAC, vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or no anticoagulation (non-OAC). Neuroimaging was reviewed centrally blinded to group allocation. Primary endpoint was haematoma expansion (≥ 6.5 ml or ≥ 33%, any new intraventricular blood or an increase in modified Graeb score by ≥ 2 points) between baseline and follow-up scan within 72 h after symptom onset.
Results: Of 1,440 patients screened, 951 patients with ICH symptom onset less than 24 h before admission were enrolled. Baseline scans were performed at a median of 2 h (IQR 1-6) after symptom onset. Neurological deficit and median baseline haematoma volumes (11 ml; IQR 4-39) did not differ among 577 DOAC, 251 VKA and 123 non-OAC patients. Haematoma expansion was observed in DOAC patients in 142/356 (39.9, 95%-CI 34.8-45.0%), VKA in 47/155 (30.3, 95-CI 23.1%-37.6%), versus non-OAC in 22/74 (29.7, 19.3-40.1%). Unspecific reversal agents in DOAC-ICH (212/356, 59.6%) did not affect the haematoma expansion rate compared to no-antagonization.
Conclusion: Baseline haematoma volume and risk of haematoma expansion did not differ statistically significantly in patients with and without DOAC.

The CD2-depleting drug alefacept (LFA3-Ig) preserved beta cell function in new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. The most promising biomarkers of response were late expansion of exhausted CD8 T cells and rare baseline inflammatory islet-reactive CD4 T cells, neither of which can be used to measure responses to drug in the weeks after treatment. Thus, we investigated whether early changes in T cell immunophenotypes could serve as biomarkers of drug activity.

Advancements with cost-effective, high-throughput omics technologies have had a transformative effect on both fundamental and translational research in the medical sciences. These advancements have facilitated a departure from the traditional view of human red blood cells (RBCs) as mere carriers of hemoglobin, devoid of significant biological complexity. Over the past decade, proteomic analyses have identified a growing number of different proteins present within RBCs, enabling systems biology analysis of their physiological functions.

Unlabelled: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with poor prognosis characterized by resistance to standard treatments and immune evasion. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) play a key role in immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment and can be used as targets for malignant gliomas therapy. is to study migration of Tregs to the tumor site in the process of dynamic glioblastoma growth on the transgenic C57Bl/6-FoxP3-eGFP mouse line.

Objective: Both B-cell- and T-cell-mediated immunity are crucial for the effective clearance of viral infection, but little is known about the dynamic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cell and T-cell responses in people living with HIV (PLWH) after a full course of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
Methods: In this study, fifty people living with HIV (PLWH) and thirty healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled to assess B-cell and T-cell responses at the day before the vaccination (T0), two weeks after the first dose (T1), two months after the first dose (T2), the day of the third dose (T3), one month after the third dose (T4), three months after the third dose (T5) and 12 months (T6) after the third dose.
Results: SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cell and T-cell responses were induced in people living with HIV (PLWH), and these responses lasted at least one year after the third vaccine dose.

Recent scientific and technological innovations presage a future wherein heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) health threats are preempted and wherein precision medicine reduces the burden of HLBS disease. The research priorities of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Strategic Vision guide Institute activities toward this future. To realize the Strategic Vision, NHLBI has drawn upon its rich resources, including its cohort studies, clinical trial infrastructure, and precision medicine programs.
