Molecular targeting for treatment of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 infection

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2019
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection is linked to adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and several other disorders. ATLL occurs in approximately 5% of the 15-20 million people infected by HTLV-1 in the world.

Utility of Flow Cytometry for Prognostic Prediction in Adult T‐Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) exhibits marked clinical heterogeneity; however, current classification primarily rely on morphology and laboratory findings and require further advancement. This study aimed to evaluate the roles of human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1)–infected cell (CD4‐positive T cell) analysis system ...

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

Trends in Mortality After the Roll‐Out of Directly Acting Antivirals for Hepatitis C in England Using Linked Surveillance Data

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Directly acting antivirals (DAAs) revolutionised hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, offering higher cure rates. We aimed to quantify life expectancy (LE) differences between treated and untreated individuals diagnosed with HCV and assess the contributions of age and causes of death to these differences.

Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects

Viruses, 2016
Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

The efficacy of interactive communication interventions for motivating blood donation: A systematic review

Vox Sanguinis, Volume 121, Issue 8, Page 1110-1120, August 2026.
Abstract Background and Objectives The global blood product shortage is a persistent problem that urgently needs addressing. Research has investigated the effects of incentives, different interventions and different modes of communication on promoting blood donation; yet, there has been no systematic review comparing interactive communication–based ...

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1388-1397, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...
