Electronic health records improve the diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary fungal infections in lung cancer patients

VIEW, EarlyView.
Pulmonary fungal infections are life‐threatening complications in lung cancer patients, posing significant challenges in clinical management. To address this, we developed machine learning tools that translate routine electronic health record data into actionable insights for diagnosing infections and assessing prognosis.

Infections in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Evolving Risks and Prevention Strategies

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), reflecting both intrinsic immune dysfunction and therapy‐related immunosuppression. The pathogenesis of immunodeficiency in CLL is multifactorial: neoplastic B cells impair humoral immunity, T cells are functionally exhausted, and ...

The Role of Belatacept‐Use and Senescence on Infectious and Mortality Complications After Kidney Transplantation

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Studies evaluating the incidence of infections after belatacept as a substitute for calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) or antimetabolite in kidney transplant (KT) yielded conflicting results. We compared infectious outcomes after belatacept‐use to no belatacept‐use in KT recipients.
