Case study with dosimetric analysis: Total body irradiation to a patient with a left ventricular assist device
A patient with a left ventricular assist device, treated with total body irradiation. Key Clinical MessageA patient presented with cardiogenic shock, requiring the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), and acute myeloblastic leukemia. This necessitated total body irradiation (TBI) while balancing dose reduction to the LVAD components to avoid potential radiation damage. Here we outline our treatment approach and dose estimates to the LVAD.AbstractThis case report discusses the delivery of TBI to a patient with an LVAD. This treatment required radiation-dose determinations and consequential reductions for...

Multiple Reactions During Desensitization May Predict Decreased Efficacy of Pegaspargase Chemotherapy
Asparaginase is considered a cornerstone of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) management, and its use has significantly improved survival rates for ALL1,2. Unfortunately, some patients do not receive its benefits due to either silent inactivation (less than 5%) or, more commonly, truncation of treatment because of toxicity or hypersensitivity1,3. Hypersensitivity to Pegaspargase, the preferred agent, occurs in 3-24% of patients 1,4. Since 2018, there have been shortages of the alternative agent, Erwinia asparaginase, which has led some centers to pursue desensitizations as means to administer Pegaspargase. (Source: Annals...

Blinatumomab Bridge Therapy for Mitigating Chemotoxicity in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
We report two pediatric patients with pre-B ALL, treated with blinatumomab because of chemotherapy-associated toxicity, with recovery and successful bridging to further chemotherapy. Blinatumomab can be considered in pediatric ALL patients who develop chemotherapy toxicity and whose treatment is delayed. (Source: Indian Journal of Hematology and Blood Transfusion)

Showalter Heather R. Manring Saikh Jaharul Haque Arnab Chakravarti Pseudokinases are catalytically inactive proteins in the human genome that lack the ability to transfer phosphate from ATP to their substrates. The Tribbles family of pseudokinases contains three members: Tribbles 1, 2, and 3. Tribbles 1 has recently gained importance because of its involvement in various diseases, including cancer. It act...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1891: Comparing the Outcomes of Matched and Mismatched Unrelated Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation with Different Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Formulations: A Retrospective, Double-Centre Experience on Behalf of the Polish Adult Leukemia Group
ław Dybko Despite notable advancements in immunotherapy in the past decades, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains a promising, potentially curative treatment modality. Only a limited number of studies have performed a direct comparison of two prevalent rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (r-ATG) formulations—specifically, Thymoglobuline (ATG-T, formerly Genzyme) and Grafalon (ATG-G, formerly Fresenius). The primary objective of our retrospective analysis was to compare the outcomes of adult patients undergoing matched or mismatched unrelated donor (MUD/MMUD) allo-HCT, with a g...

Structural studies of intrinsically disordered MLL ‐fusion protein AF9 in complex with peptidomimetic inhibitors
In this study, we present a successful protein engineering strategy to facilitate structural investigation of the intrinsically disordered AF9 AHD domain in complex with peptidomimetic inhibitors by using maltose binding protein (MBP) as a crystallization chaperone connected with linkers of varying flexibility and length. The strategic incorporation of disulfide bonds provided diffraction-quality crystals of the two disulfide-bridged MBP –AF9 AHD fusion proteins in complex with the peptidomimetics. These successfully determined first series of 2.1–2.6 Å crystal complex structures provide high-resolution insights int...
