Safety and Effectiveness of Sutimlimab in Cold Agglutinin Disease: A Real‐World International Experience

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1597-1604, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sutimlimab is a monoclonal antibody against complement fraction C1s approved for the treatment of hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinin disease (CAD). Here, we analyzed and report the largest international CAD cohort of sutimlimab‐treated patients ever reported to highlight its safety and effectiveness in the real‐world setting. We accrued a

Pneumococcal pneumonia prevalence among adults with severe acute respiratory illness in Thailand - comparison of Bayesian latent class modeling and conventional analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Determining the etiology of pneumonia is essential to guide public health interventions. Diagnostic test results, including from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays of upper respiratory tract specimens, have been used to estimate prevalence

Neutrophil Recruitment in Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is the primary agent of community-acquired pneumonia. Neutrophils are innate immune cells that are essential for bacterial clearance during pneumococcal pneumonia but can also do harm to host tissue. Neutrophil migration in

Predictors of Mortality in Children Admitted With Pneumonia to a Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Pneumonia contributes substantially to the childhood mortality burden in low and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Reported predictors of mortality in childhood pneumonia in LMIC are varied. This study aimed to describe predictors of mortality among children with pneumonia in a tertiary hospital in Ghana.

Herd effects of child vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine against pneumococcal non-invasive community-acquired pneumonia: What is the evidence?

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Quantification of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) herd effects are mainly performed on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) but there is conflicting evidence regarding herd effects of PCVs on non-IPD pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia.

Non‐Cancer Causes of Death in Patients With Metastatic Hormone‐Sensitive Prostate Cancer: A Real‐World Analysis

The Prostate, Volume 86, Issue 10, Page 1170-1173, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background As overall survival improves in metastatic hormone‐sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), non‐cancer causes of death are increasingly relevant. Methods We conducted a real‐world multicenter study of patients diagnosed with mHSPC treated with ADT alone or in combination. Causes of death before progression to castration‐resistant prostate

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1142-1149, June 2026.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...
