IntroductionThe immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells characterizes type 1 diabetes. Nevertheless, exocrine pancreatic enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and trypsin, are also significantly reduced in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy associated with a high risk of relapse. Leukemia cutis is characterized by the presence of neoplastic leukocytes infiltrating the skin. Here, we present a previously treated AML patient who relapsed with isolated leukemia cutis without bone marrow involvement. Fluorescence in

Evaluation of Global Immune Biomarkers to Predict Infections in Lung Transplant Recipients
ABSTRACT Background Immune biomarkers could assess levels of immunosuppression and predict infections in transplant recipients. We aimed to evaluate the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), Quantiferon‐Monitor and the mitogen component of the Quantiferon‐CMV assay alone and combined to predict serious opportunistic ...

Early outcomes in human lung transplantation with Thymoglobulin or Campath-1H for recipient pretreatment followed by posttransplant tacrolimus near-monotherapy [PDF]
Objectives: Acute and chronic rejection remain unresolved problems after lung transplantation, despite heavy multidrug immunosuppression. In turn, the strong immunosuppression has been responsible for mortality and pervasive morbidity.

ABSTRACT Introduction Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterised by progressive destruction of the insulin‐producing pancreatic β‐cells. Preserving remaining β‐cells at the time of diagnosis may improve long‐term outcomes. Frexalimab is a humanised monoclonal antibody specific for CD40L undergoing evaluation for treatment of ...

Human CD4+CD25+ Cells in Combination with CD34+ Cells and Thymoglobulin to Prevent Anti-hematopoietic Stem Cell T Cell Alloreactivity [PDF]
Cotransplantation of human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) could prevent anti-HSC alloreactivity and reduce the risk of rejection in HLA mismatched transplants.

ABSTRACT Letermovir (LMV), a CMV‐specific terminase inhibitor, is recommended for cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis in CMV‐seropositive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) recipients. The association between low‐level CMV DNAemia during prophylaxis and the emergence of mutations in CMV terminase complex genes remains unclear.

ABSTRACT Background Malnutrition is common among patients with end‐organ disease. The impact of any criterion of malnutrition (weight loss, muscle depletion, fat depletion, inadequate oral intake, or reduced functionality) pretransplant among simultaneous pancreas‐kidney (SPK) or solitary pancreas transplant (SPT) recipients is understudied.
