Added safety measures coupled with the development and use of pathogen reduction technologies (PRT) significantly reduces the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) from blood products. Current approved PRTs utilize chemical and/or UV-light based inactivation methods. While the effectiveness of these PRTs in reducing pathogens are well documented, these can cause tolerable yet unintended consequences on the quality and efficacy of the transfusion products.

Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) inner retinal metrics reflect neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). We explored OCT measures as biomarkers of disease severity in secondary progressive MS (SPMS).
Methods: We investigated people with SPMS from the Multiple Sclerosis-Secondary Progressive Multi-Arm Randomisation Trial OCT substudy, analysing brain MRIs, clinical assessments and OCT at baseline and 96 weeks.

Background: Comorbidities including vascular risk factors can be associated with whole and regional brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS). This has been examined in mixed MS cohorts in prospective or observational studies; however, the association between vascular comorbidities (VCM) in secondary progressive MS (SPMS) and brain atrophy has been less well studied. The aim was to investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between VCM, comorbidity burden and brain atrophy in SPMS.

For patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who achieve complete remission (CR) after induction therapy, subsequent allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) reduces the risk of relapse. However, not all patients are eligible, warranting effective alternative maintenance strategies. Oral azacitidine is the only non-targeted therapy approved by both the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for the maintenance or continued treatment of allo-HSCT-ineligible patients with AML achieving CR or CR with incomplete haematological recovery following induction chemotherapy.
