Transplant outcomes after intensive chemotherapy or venetoclax plus azacitidine in acute myeloid leukemia: a multicenter retrospective study in Japan

The present retrospective multicenter study in Japan evaluated the role of venetoclax plus azacitidine (V/A) before first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in 144 transplant-eligible acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thirty-seven patients received V/A prior to...

Hip anteroposterior radiographic indices for effective osteoporosis screening in female patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty

Abstract Summary Osteoporosis in patients awaiting total hip arthroplasty remains undiagnosed. Although hip radiographic indices have been proposed for screening, they have not been compared. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of eight indices for osteoporosis. The canal–bone ra...

A Staged Revascularization Strategy for Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia With GLASS Stage IMP2 Disease: Distal Bypass Following Infrapopliteal/Pedal Endovascular Therapy

Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) stage IMP2 disease often lack suitable inframalleolar target arteries for distal bypass on conventional imaging, rendering them technically ungraftable. We adopted a staged reva...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Adhering to Cholesterol Crystals Modulates Inflammatory Cytokines Release and Promotes Their Disruption: Insights In Situ Touch-imprints Method From Non-obstructive General Angioscopy

Both macrophages and neutrophils are recognized as innate immune cells; the former engulf cholesterol crystals (CCs) while secreting NLRP3, which also promote inflammatory responses and drive the latter into atherosclerotic plaques. Moreover, recent studies have implied a critica...
