Article Synopsis
  • Blinatumomab (Blina) and inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) show effectiveness in treating relapsed/refractory B-lymphoblastic leukemia, though outcomes after recurrence and re-treatment are not well understood.
  • In a study of 71 patients, those treated with Blina achieved a 63% complete remission (CR) rate, while InO led to an 82% CR rate, highlighting the drugs' potential in handling multiple relapses.
  • Overall survival (OS) was 19 months for the Blina/InO group and 9.4 months for the InO/Blina group, with a significant percentage of patients achieving minimal residual disease negativity, indicating promising results as

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists studied older patients with a type of leukemia called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to find out what factors affect their survival chances.
  • They found that early response to treatment and specific health risks can help predict which patients will do better.
  • They also discovered that having other health problems, like lung disease or low albumin levels, can make patients weaker and more likely to face complications, influencing how long they might live.

Background: Patients undergoing allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) have reduced responses to vaccines due to immunosuppressive status linked to GvHD prophylaxis and treatment. In our study, we compared humoral responses to anti-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine, and infection onset, according to patients and transplant features; we also evaluated cellular response in patients without seroconversion.

Methods: We tested antibodies titer after second and third vaccine doses.

Biliary tract cancer's (BTC) treatment main stone for advanced stages is constituted by chemotherapy. Surgical centralization and physicians' confidence in the use of new technologies and molecular analysis turned out to be of interest and potentially influencing survival. After applying a random-effect model, the relationship between each clinical variable on the main outcome was investigated through multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression.

Background: Polymicrobial bloodstream infections (pBSI) occurring in hematological patients are still poorly understood, and specific information are very limited.

Objectives And Methods: In this epidemiologic survey, we describe clinical characteristics and outcome of 125 consecutive pBSI occurred in oncohematological patients. Polymicrobial bloodstream infections (pBSI) were defined with the isolation of 2 or more bacteria from blood culture specimens obtained within 72 h.
