Clinical features and prognostic factors of adult systemic chronic active EBV disease: A retrospective analysis in Japan

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ALT and ferritin were adverse prognostic markers enabling risk stratification in adult systemic chronic active Epstein–Barr virus disease (sCAEBV). In hydroa vacciniforme lymphoproliferative disorder (HV‐LPD), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection of CD4+ cells was associated with progression to sCAEBV.

Prediabetes, Malignant Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stroke: The SPRINT Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Prediabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common risk factors in adults with hypertension. Whether their coexistence, particularly in the presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress (malignant LVH), confers a heightened stroke risk is unknown.
