Arrhythmias and cancer are two pathological conditions that often coexist due to a patient's pre-existing comorbidities, or toxicity linked to anti-neoplastic drugs, and both are often characterised by poor prognosis. Cardio-oncology is a new interdisciplinary field that focuses on the cardiovascular health of cancer patients, especially those undergoing cancer treatment. Furthermore, cardiotoxicity can cause arrhythmias through primary and secondary mechanisms.

Study Question: Does the molecular composition of uterine fluid extracellular vesicles (UF-EVs) reflect endometrial tissue changes across the menstrual cycle?
Summary Answer: Concordance between endometrial tissue and UF-EVs exists on miRNA and mRNA levels along the menstrual cycle phases and UF-EV surface proteomic signatures suggest EVs originate from several major endometrial cell populations.
What Is Known Already: The clinical value of endometrial receptivity testing is restricted by invasiveness and the use of only one omics level of input. There is promising evidence that UF-EVs can reflect changes in mid-secretory endometrium, highlighting the potential to establish endometrial receptivity testing right before embryo transfer.

Intracardiac flow dynamics is a complex phenomenon interrelated with cardiac mechanics. Today, it can be evaluated non-invasively using various imaging modalities, including echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography. This review explores the effects of mitral regurgitation on blood flow dynamics inside the left ventricular and atrial cavities and emphasizes the disruption of normal flow dynamics caused by mitral regurgitation, leading to turbulent flow and increased energy dissipation.

Biopharmaceuticals are increasingly utilised in the treatment of oncological, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases, largely due to their exceptional specificity in targeting antigens. However, their structural complexity, heterogeneity, and sensitivity pose crucial challenges in their production, purification, and delivery. Charge heterogeneity analysis, a Critical Quality Attribute of these biomolecules used in their Quality Control, is often performed using separative analytical techniques such as imaged capillary Isoelectric Focusing (icIEF).

Sickle cell disease (SCD) remains associated with reduced life expectancy and poor quality of life despite improvements observed in the last decades mostly related to comprehensive care, use of hydroxycarbamide, screening to identify patients at risk of strokes, and implementation of safe transfusion protocols. The course of the disease is highly variable, making it difficult to predict severity and response to therapy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation potentially provides a cure with a relatively low rate of complications, but few patients have an HLA-identical sibling.

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a very significant health issue in the period between 2020 and 2023, forcing research to characterize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequences and to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 are considered significant therapeutic targets for COVID-19 and emerging evidence has suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve a key role in regulating these genes. MiRNAs are short, 19-25 nucleotides in length, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through the sequence-selective recognition of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the regulated mRNAs, eventually repressing translation, commonly, via mRNA degradation.

Understanding cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying quantity processing is crucial for unraveling human cognition. The existence of a single magnitude system, encompassing non-symbolic number estimation alongside other magnitudes like time and space, is still highly debated since clear evidence is limited. Recent research examined whether spatial biases also influence numerosity judgments, using visual illusions like the Delboeuf illusion.

The Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) consortium aims to annotate animal genomes across species, and work in the horse has substantially contributed to that goal. As part of this initiative, chromatin immunoprecipitation with sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed to identify histone modifications corresponding to enhancers (H3K4me1), promoters (H3K4me3), activators (H3K27ac), and repressors (H3K27me3) in eight tissues from two Thoroughbred stallions: adipose, parietal cortex, heart, lamina, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, and testis. The average genome coverage of peaks identified by MACS2 for H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27ac was 6.

Background: Discrimination between clonal and reactive cell proliferation is critical for the correct management of T-cell lymphocytosis. Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) represents a valuable tool, particularly because it allows the evaluation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) Vβ repertoire to pinpoint eventual clonality in T-cell lymphocytosis. A restricted expansion of a single out of the 24 evaluable families or a "clonogram-off" pattern is highly suggestive of the presence of a clonal T-cell population.

Despite the introduction of several therapies in recent years, multiple myeloma (MM) remains a hematologic malignancy difficult to treat due to its extreme inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity. However, at the 2024 major international conferences, very significant data have emerged on new approaches that can improve outcomes even in high-risk or very advanced diseases. Up-front quadruplet combinations, including anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, proved to be the best therapy in terms of depth of response and long-term efficacy in both transplant-eligible and not-eligible patients with MRD assessment that could play a key role in determining the duration of therapy, avoiding unnecessary overtreatment.

Leukemia Cutis (LC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is typically managed within the context of systemic AML therapy, namely intensive chemotherapy (IC). In frail patients, though, viable options are hypomethylating agents (HMAs) associated with Venetoclax (VEN), but data on the efficacy of this approach in this specific setting is scarce. Here, we report our experience and provide a short review of the previous cases of LC treated with HMAs plus VEN to underline the efficacy of such treatment in LC patients who are unsuitable for IC.
