Decoding the causes of ischemic stroke despite ongoing oral anticoagulation and their clinical impact: the ASPERA-R study

BACKGROUND: Oral anticoagulants (OACs), including vitamin K antagonists and direct OACs, reduce stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF), yet breakthrough ischemic stroke still occurs in 1-2% of patients annually despite adequate therapy. The mechanisms underlying these events rem...

Real‐world outcomes of venetoclax plus hypomethylating agents in unfit acute myeloid leukaemia: Results of the GIMEMA AML2320 trial

Summary Venetoclax (VEN) plus hypomethylating agents (HMAs) represents the standard of care for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy, but prospective real‐world observational data outside randomized clinical trials remain limited...

In vivo T‐cell depletion and pharmacokinetic‐based busulfan conditioning regimen improve the outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission undergoing to allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Pharmacokinetic‐based busulfan administration improves the therapeutic window and in vivo T‐cell depletion with antilymphocyte globulins reduces graft‐versus‐host disease incidence. In this study, both were used, showing an improvement of clinical outcomes in patients with acute...

Expiratory phase lung mechanics in late-onset Pompe disease: a multicenter study using oscillometry to identify specific breathing abnormalities

Abstract Introduction In late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), muscle weakness causes restrictive lung impairment. In murine models, glycogen deposition in lung parenchyma suggests additional causes for restriction that remain poorly understood. We investigated whether oscillometry de...
