Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a patient with Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

With the advent of chimeric antigen receptors T-cell therapy, understanding their role in the development of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis has become increasingly complex. We describe a case of a young patient with Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, who was treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel. The patient developed progressive cytopenia and, on Day 73 post-infusion, met criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Signature Proteins in Small Extracellular Vesicles of Granulocytes and CD4 T-Cell Subpopulations Identified by Comparative Proteomic Analysis.

Several studies have described the proteomic profile of different immune cell types, but only a few have also analysed the content of their delivered small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). The aim of the present study was to compare the protein signature of sEVs delivered from granulocytes (i.e.

Bacterial Infection Features in Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis: Review of a 2016-2021 Cohort.

Bacterial infections (BI) are a major cause of mortality in patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH); however, only a few studies have investigated BI in AH in the last decade. Therefore, we aimed to assess the features and outcomes of BI in patients with AH. This observational descriptive study included patients with AH admitted to a tertiary academic hospital between 2016 and 2021.

Impact of chronic renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors on short-term outcomes in patients with acute heart failure presenting to the emergency department. A propensity-matched analysis EAHFE cohort.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of chronic treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) on short-term clinical outcomes after an episode of AHF.

Methods: A secondary analysis of patients included in the EAHFE (Epidemiology of Acute Heart Failure in Emergency Departments) cohort, which includes patients diagnosed with AHF in 45 Spanish Emergency Departments (EDs). The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality.

Care-related quality of life of informal caregivers of stroke survivors: Cross-sectional analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: We aimed to describe the intensity of care and its consequences on informal caregivers of stroke survivors according to the degree of care receivers' functional dependence for activities of daily living; and to identify the factors associated with caregivers' care-related quality of life.

Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of prospective data collected in a cost-utility study alongside the RACECAT trial in Catalonia (Spain). One-hundred and thirty-two care receiver-caregiver pairs were interviewed six months after stroke.

[Translated article] Prioritisation of 2024-2027 initiatives of the strategic Map for outpatient pharmaceutical care of the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy.

Objective: To prioritise the initiatives to be developed for the development of the Strategic Map of Outpatient Care (MAPEX) project to improve the quality of care and pharmaceutical care for patients seen in hospital pharmacy outpatient clinics in the period 2024-2027 in Spain.

Method: The study was carried out in 4 phases between January and December 2023. For phase 1, a literature review of the evolution of the project was carried out by the coordinating committee with the aim of establishing a basis on which to define a new proposal for initiatives.

Onasemnogene-abeparvovec administration to premature infants with spinal muscular atrophy.

Twin girls born at 30 weeks' gestation with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) received onsasemnogene-abeparvovec (OA) at 3.5 weeks of life. They had no treatment-related adverse events, normal acquisition of motor milestones, and normal neurological examination at 19 months.

Antiphospholipid syndrome autoantibodies induction after treatment with anti-TNF alpha therapy in patients with IBD.

Introduction: Ant-iTNF treatment has been broadly linked with autoantibodies and autoimmune disorders development. After the clinical observation of aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin clotting time) prolongation in our cohort of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF, we sought to determine the presence of antiphospolipid antibodies in our population, along with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) occurrence.

Methods: We included in the study 289 patients treated with anti-TNFα antibodies.

Value contribution of etranacogene dezaparvovec gene therapy in moderately severe and severe haemophilia B through multi-criteria decision analysis.

Introduction: The value of gene therapies for haemophilia needs to be assessed holistically.

Aim: To determine the value of etranacogene dezaparvovec (ED) compared to current extended half-life (EHL) recombinant factors (rFIX), using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA).

Method: MCDA EVIDEM methodology adapted to orphan drugs was used, with nine quantitative criteria and four contextual criteria.

Interplay of leucocyte-platelet complexes and clinical response to eltrombopag in immune thrombocytopenia patients.

Eltrombopag (ELT) is a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist that stimulates platelet (PLT) production in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). One potential mechanism of ELT is modulating the inflammatory response by increasing PLTs binding to leucocytes. This study examined the effect of ELT on leucocyte-PLTs complexes in 38 ITP patients.

Cariprazine as a maintenance treatment in dual schizophrenia: a 6-month observational study in patients with schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder.

Schizophrenia is often associated with substance use disorders, particularly cannabis use disorder (CUD). However, treatments frequently fail to address both conditions simultaneously. This study aimed to evaluate the antipsychotic effectiveness of cariprazine in patients with both schizophrenia and CUD in a real-world setting.

National survey on clinical practice in obstetric analgesia in Spain.

Introduction: A national survey was conducted among maternity hospitals nationwide to understand the variability in clinical practice for obstetric analgesia and to reach a consensus on optimal care in the future in Spain.

Materials And Methods: Spanish experts in obstetric anesthesiology designed a survey on the practice of obstetric analgesia during childbirth, following a Delphi process. The survey was sent to 195 Spanish maternity hospitals between April and September 2022 using Google Forms.

Ramipril After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients Without Reduced Ejection Fraction: The RASTAVI Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Patients with aortic stenosis may continue to have an increased risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and death after successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors may be beneficial in this setting. We aimed to explore whether ramipril improves the outcomes of patients with aortic stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
