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 ...

Humans Are Selectively Exposed to
Environmental exposure has a significant impact on human health. While some airborne fungi can cause life-threatening infections, the impact of environment on fungal spore dispersal and transmission is poorly understood.

Outbreaks of Pneumocystis Pneumonia in 2 Renal Transplant Centers Linked to a Single Strain of Pneumocystis: Implications for Transmission and Virulence [PDF]
By restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, 2 outbreaks of Pneumocystis pneumonia in renal transplant patients in Europe were shown to be caused by the same strain of Pneumocystis; another outbreak in Japan was caused by a different ...

An evaluation of the performance of the Dynamiker® Fungus (1-3)-β-D-Glucan Assay to 2 assist in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia [PDF]
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) can be caused by a range of pathogens. Conventional diagnosis has the capacity to detect most causes of IFD, but poor performance limits impact. The introduction of non-culture diagnostics, including the detection of (1-3)-β-

While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...

The interstitial‐to‐airway cross‐compartment sharing pattern of activated immune cells provides new insights for severe pneumonia. Macrophages could amplify local immune response by recruiting specific activated immune cells via CXCL10–CXCR3 signalling into airway, while other immune cells reside with limited inflammatory activity.

ABSTRACT Torque teno virus (TTV) replication is tightly modulated by the host immune response. As such, TTV viremia has been investigated as a biomarker of immune competence for monitoring the risks of allograft rejection and opportunistic infections in solid organ transplant recipients.

Efficacy of upadacitinib induction for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract Objectives Upadacitinib, a second‐generation Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is approved for moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults. Its efficacy in pediatric patients remains unclear, though early reports suggest benefits in refractory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
