The evolutionary dynamics of variant antigen genes in Babesia reveal a history of genomic innovation underlying host-parasite interaction [PDF]

, 2014
Babesia spp. are tick-borne, intraerythrocytic hemoparasites that use antigenic variation to resist host immunity, through sequential modification of the parasite-derived variant erythrocyte surface antigen (VESA) expressed on the infected red blood cell

European Recommendations for Transitioning the Care of Patients With Multiple Myeloma Treated With B‐Cell Maturation Antigen Bispecific Antibodies From Academic Hospitals to Community‐Based Centers and for Outpatient Step‐Up Dosing

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Safe outpatient delivery of B‐cell maturation antigen–targeting bispecific antibodies (BCMA‐BsAbs) in multiple myeloma (MM) is challenging, particularly during step‐up dosing (SUD). Standardized guidance for European community practice is limited.

DETECTION OF PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII (JIROVECI) FROM IRAQI PATIENTS WITH LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Pneumocystis carinii is one of the rare fungi which cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. It is important to detect the fungus from the clinical specimens of suspected patients by laboratory tests. Objective:To identify Pneumocystis

Development of Highly Efficient Universal Pneumocystis Primers and Their Application in Investigating the Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Pneumocystis in Wild Hares and Rabbits

Journal of Fungi
Despite its ubiquitous infectivity to mammals with strong host specificity, our current knowledge about Pneumocystis has originated from studies of merely 4% of extant mammalian species. Further studies of Pneumocystis epidemiology across a broader range

The Efficacy and Safety of Bevacizumab/Irinotecan/Temozolomide (BIT) for Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma: The UK Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group Experience

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with high‐risk neuroblastoma who either are refractory to induction chemotherapy or relapse following multi‐modal treatment have a dismal prognosis. Based on data from the BEACON trial, since 2021 the UK national guidelines recommend bevacizumab, irinotecan, and temozolomide (BIT) for patients with relapsed/refractory ...
