ABSTRACT We present a case of aplastic anemia (AA) complicated with gastric cancer that was successfully treated with cyclosporine A (CsA) and romiplostim (ROMI) as a bridging therapy before curative surgery. This patient had untreated gastric cancer at the time of AA diagnosis, and surgery was difficult because of thrombocytopenia.

Iron and Other Metal Ions in Human Health and Disease
Iron, copper, zinc, and calcium orchestrate cellular function through distinct yet cooperative mechanisms: redox‐active iron and copper cycle between oxidation states to act as Fenton catalysts and electron carriers in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS); redox‐inert zinc serves as a structural component of zinc‐finger proteins and a catalytic cofactor ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Summary Over the past decade, there has been a substantial increase in the diversity and number of therapeutic options for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). While many remain within the clinical trial arena, the clinician and patient community have seen more approvals reaching the clinic and a rethink on how best we should be approaching these ...

ABSTRACT Background Although portal (venovenous) bypass (pVVB) is uncommon in liver transplantation (LT), it may provide some advantages, particularly for high‐acuity recipients. Methods To examine its use in high‐risk patients, we retrospectively evaluated outcomes of a modified pVVB technique among adult LT recipients at a single center, stratified ...
