Use of negative pressure wound therapy for the treatment of venous leg ulcers
Wounds. 2023 Jun;35(6):117-125.ABSTRACTNPWT has probably been the most important addition to wound care in the current century. Despite this fact, its use in the treatment of VLUs remains very limited. This review first examines the documented and potential VLU wound environment changes that can be facilitated by NPWT. The data supporting the use of NPWT for VLU wound bed preparation, the management of fluid drainage, and the bolstering of skin grafts are evaluated. The similarities and differences between suNPWT, traditional NPWT, and NPWTi are outlined. Included in this review is when and where each therapy may have a pl...

Identification and Targeting of Mutant Neoantigens in Multiple Myeloma Treatment
Curr Oncol. 2023 Apr 29;30(5):4603-4617. doi: 10.3390/curroncol30050348.ABSTRACTMultiple myeloma (MM) is malignant disease characterized by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, leading to anemia, immunosuppression, and other symptoms, that is generally hard to treat. In MM, the immune system is likely exposed to neoplasia-associated neoantigens for several years before the tumor onset. Different types of neoantigens have been identified. Public or shared neoantigens derive from tumor-specific modifications often reported in several patients or across diverse tumors. They are intriguing therapeutic t...
