Despite the growing importance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), clonal relationships between CRKP and antibiotic-susceptible isolates remain unclear. We compared genetic diversity clinical features CRKP, third-generation and/or fourth-generation cephalosporin-resistant (Ceph-R) K. pneumoniae, susceptible causing bloodstream infections at a tertiary care hospital in New York City January 2012 July 2013. Drug susceptibilities were determined with Vitek 2 system. Isolates...
High-grade neuroendocrine cervical cancers (NETc) are exceedingly rare, highly aggressive tumors. We analyzed 64 NETc tumor samples by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Human papillomavirus DNA was detected in 65.6% (42/64) of the Recurrent mutations were identified PIK3CA, KMT2D/MLL2, K-RAS, ARID1A, NOTCH2, and RPL10. The top mutated genes included RB1, PTEN, KMT2D / MLL2, WDFY3, a gene not yet implicated NETc. Somatic CNV analysis two copy number gains (3q27.1 19q13.12) five losses...
Abstract Purpose: We report the results of a randomized phase II trial imiquimod, topical immune-response modulator versus imiquimod plus 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (9vHPV) clinical surveillance in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) patients. Patients and Methods: randomly allocated 133 patients with untreated CIN2/3 equal proportions to 4-month treatment self-applied vaginal suppositories containing (Arm B) or 9vHPV C) A). The main outcome was efficacy, defined as...
High-grade endometrial cancers (EAC) are aggressive tumors with a high risk of progression after treatment. As EAC may harbor mutations in the RAS/MAPK pathways, we evaluated preclinical vitro and vivo efficacy avutometinib, RAF/MEK clamp, combination focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitors defactinib or VS-4718, against multiple primary cell lines xenografts.
Abstract Objective: Uterine serous carcinoma is a rare biologically aggressive type of endometrial cancer associated with high rate mortality. Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) novel ADC composed the humanized anti-TROP2 IgG1 monoclonal antibody, cleavable tetrapeptide linker, and topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. TROP2 expression detected in up to 95% uterine (USC) cases, making it an excellent target for therapy. We evaluated preclinical activity Dato-DXd vitro against primary USC cell...
Abstract Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a rare subset of endometrial cancer with poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. Datopotamab-deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) novel antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC). The objective this study was to evaluate the preclinical activity Dato-DXd in USC vitro against primary cell lines various TROP2 expression vivo overexpressing cell-line derived mice xenografts. tumor were treated control ADC (CTL ADC) viability following exposure....

Measles and congenital rubella syndrome remain significant causes of morbidity mortality despite available vaccines. HIV-infected youth may be at increased risk measles because greater waning immunity after vaccination. At a population level, they constitute potentially large pool susceptibles to rubella. More data among in sub-Saharan Africa are needed guide vaccination policy control strategies.
