In a series of 493 apparently consecutive products of spontaneous abortions obtained for cytogenetic studies, tissue culture was attempted in 428 cases; chromosome analysis using the Q-banding technique was completed in 215 cases (50.2%). Abnormal karyotypes were identified in 80 cases (37.2%). Maternal tissue contamination was apparent and the actual frequency of karyotypic abnormal abortuses could be as high as 50%. Comparison of the frequency of a specific type of chromosome abnormalities with nine other series of studies showed the lowest frequency of autosomal trisomies and the highest frequency of triploidies and structural aberrations in the Calgary series. In addition, a significantly lower gestational age was observed for triploidies 69, XXX as compared to the 69, XXY.

Background: Sequential CD19 and CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy offers a promising approach to antigen-loss relapse in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL); however, research in adults remains limited.
Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential CD19 and CD22 CAR-T cell therapy in adult patients with R/R B-ALL between November 2020 and November 2023 (ChiCTR2100053871). Key endpoints included the adverse event incidence, overall survival (OS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS).

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I - IDUA gene) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder. Clinical symptoms, including visceral overload, are progressive and typically begin postnatally. Descriptions of hepatosplenomegaly associated with lysosomal pathology are uncommon during the prenatal period.

1q21gain/amp is the most common in patients with multiple myeloma. However, there is limited research on the prognostic heterogeneity of 1q21+, and the prognostic of the 1q21 copy remains controversial. In this study, we primarily conducted a retrospective analysis of the prognostic significance of 1q21 gain/amp in 375 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

Methods: The authors analyze the characteristics, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes of patients with HMA-sAML from the Programa Español para el Tratamiento de Hemopatías Malignas (PETHEMA) registry.
Results: A total of 479 patients were included, mostly from prior myelodysplastic syndrome (84%).

Background: Maternal agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AAs) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, but their presence in their offsprings and their possible neonatal effects have not been specifically explored. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the presence of AT1-AAs and their potential clinical effects in neonates of AT1-AAs positive mothers.
Methods: Women with preeclampsia and their neonates were included.
