Genome Analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolates Chronologically Recovered From the Same Cat for Two Years: Circulation in a Cat Shelter

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, was isolated repeatedly from a cat in an in‐house group in Japan. Although the cat was cured once by antibiotic treatment, clonal isolates of the original pathogenic strain were recovered repeatedly during a 2‐year course.

Comparative Outcomes of Early versus Delayed Penile Prosthesis Insertion in Patients With Ischaemic Priapism—Long‐Term Outcome Experience From a Single High‐volume Centre

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Ischaemic priapism (IP) is a urological emergency that can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) if not treated promptly. This study aims to evaluate and compare clinical outcomes between early and delayed penile prosthesis insertion in patients with IP.

Economic burden and quality of life of caregivers of patients with sickle cell disease in the United Kingdom and France: a cross-sectional study

Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background Sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder that affects red blood cells and oxygen delivery to body tissues, is characterized by haemolytic anaemia, pain episodes, fatigue, and end-organ damage with acute and chronic dimensions ...

Hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide) use in adults with haemoglobin SC disease: A real‐world study in Quebec

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Haemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease is the second most prevalent form of sickle cell disease, but evidence for hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide; HU) to prevent pain episodes was limited until the prospective identification of variables as outcomes for treatment (PIVOT) trial.

Hemodynamic profile of cerebral arteries using transcranial Doppler in children with sickle cell disease compared to children without sickle cell disease: Prospective analytical study

BMC Pediatrics
Background Cerebral vasculopathy is a frequent and serious complication of major sickle cell disease syndromes. Transcerebral Doppler (TCD) can detect stenosis of the main arteries at the base of the skull before stroke occurs, and initiate therapy to ...

Hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide) in haemoglobin SC disease: Moving from therapeutic hesitation to evidence‐guided care

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Girard et al. report a retrospective, single‐centre, real‐world study evaluating hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide) use in adults with haemoglobin SC disease in Quebec. Hydroxyurea was associated with reduced vaso‐occlusive crisis composite events, mostly mild adverse events and no observed hyperviscosity‐related complications, while highlighting adherence

Red lines and green lights: Gene therapy for inherited erythroid disorders beyond the haemoglobinopathies

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Gene therapy is revolutionizing treatment paradigms for haemoglobinopathies, establishing a translational framework for disorders that impact red blood cell development. In their paper, Joshi et al. describe the preclinical and early clinical landscape of gene therapies for non‐haemoglobinopathy erythroid disorders and highlight common thematic ...

Identification of predictive factors for reversal of cerebral vasculopathy in an original longitudinal cohort study in newborns with sickle cell anaemia

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Cerebral macrovasculopathy (CV) is a major complication in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and usually requires a long‐term transfusion programme (TP) to prevent stroke. This study aimed to identify factors predicting reversal of CV on TP in a single‐centre newborn cohort. Among 375 patients, 50 presented CV and received TP.
