Current status of drug repositioning in hematology
Expert Rev Hematol. 2021 Oct 16. doi: 10.1080/17474086.2021.1995348. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Drug repositioning (DR) is defined as determining new therapeutic applications for existing drugs. This approach is advantageous over de novo drug discovery in accelerating clinical development, in terms of lower costs, a shortened development period, a well-known action mechanism, a feasible dosage, and an acceptable safety profile.AREAS COVERED: This work was aimed at reviewing agents with successful DR in hematology.EXPERT OPINION: Thalidomide and plerixafor have been successfully repositioned for treating mu...

The Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on hospitalization Outcomes for Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Using the National Inpatient Sample Database
CONCLUSION: CLL patients with AF are at a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiac-related mortality, and stroke. For this population, a multidisciplinary approach should be orchestrated for better management and outcomes.PMID:34598909 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2021.08.006

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 3943: CD47 in the Brain and Neurodegeneration: An Update on the Role in Neuroinflammatory Pathways
in Sahebkar
CD47 is a receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and broadly expressed on cell membranes. Through interactions with ligands such as SIRPĪ±, TSP-1, integrins, and SH2-domain bearing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate-1 (SHPS-1), CD47 regulates numerous functions like cell adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, homeostasis, and the immune system. In this aspect, previous research has shown that CD47 modulates phagocytosis via macrophages, the transmigration of neutrophils, and the activation of T-cells, dendritic cells, and B-cells. Moreover, several studies have reported the in...

Nilotinib-Associated Atherosclerosis Presenting as Multifocal Intracranial Stenosis and Acute Stroke
Nilotinib is considered an effective and well-tolerated frontline agent used in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). It is a breakpoint cluster region-Ableson (BCR-ABL) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has been associated with accelerated arterial stenosis, presumably of atherosclerotic etiology. However, reports are mostly limited to peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD), specifically in the lower extremities.1 The mechanism by which it promotes atherosclerosis is poorly understood but endothelial and perivascular factors, mast cell depletion, and metabolic factors such as promotion of dyslipidemi...

Targeted Cancer Therapies.
Abstract
Targeted cancer therapies involve chemotherapeutic agents that attack, directly or indirectly, a specific genetic biomarker found in a given cancer. Targeted oncology includes monoclonal antibodies, small molecule inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and immunotherapy. For example, the monoclonal antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab target human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and are used when treating HER2-positive breast cancer. Although targeted oncology has improved survival by years for some incurable cancers such as metastatic breast and lung cancer, as few as 8% of patients with advanc...

New-onset Post-transplant Diabetes and Therapy in Long-term Survivors After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Conclusion: After allo-HSCT, a significant number of patients developed PTDM and patients with acute graft-versus-host-disease were found to have a higher risk for PTDM. Long-term and continuous follow-up for diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors after HSCT is important in order to be able to provide timely and appropriate treatment.

Four-Dimensional Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Functions in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Receiving Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.
Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are established treatment for haematological malignancies. However, cardiac adverse effects, including the reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction and symptomatic heart failure remain clinical problems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the left ventricular systolic functions in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia receiving TKIs. A cross-sectional and observational study was conducted of 37 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia receiving dasatinib or nilotinib after imatinib failure. Left ventricular systolic functions were evaluated using four-dimen...

Progressive thrombosis of cervical and intracranial arteries related to Ponatinib treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Ponatinib is a third-generation Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), approved as first-line treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) chronic phase.Here we describe a CML patient with a history of subsequent TIAs and an ischemic stroke during Ponatinib treatment. Patient was admitted for a 3-day history of sudden onset left hemiparesis due to an acute ischemic stroke. MRI showed bilaterally the almost total absence of signal in the intracranial tract of anterior circulation and low signal of cerebral posterior circulation.
