Treating neutropenic fever with broad-spectrum antibiotics after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant is associated an increase in graft-versus-host disease mice and humans.
Purpose The major causes of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are relapse, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and infection. We have reported previously that alterations in the intestinal flora associated with GVHD, bacteremia, reduced overall survival allo-HCT. Because bacteria potent modulators systemic immune responses, including antitumor effects, we hypothesized components could be relapse Methods microbiota 541 patients admitted for allo-HCT was...
Activation of the RIG-I or STING pathways results in a type I interferon response that protects gut integrity after irradiation- immune-induced tissue injury.
Objectives: Cisplatin remains the pivotal chemotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), with nephrotoxicity considered dose-limiting toxicity. The purpose our study was to propose an outpatient high-dose cisplatin protocol aimed at preventing analyze results its utilization patients SCCHN treated concurrent radiotherapy. Materials Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 82 radiotherapy institution. Acute kidney injury (AKI) chronic disease were defined by Kidney Disease...
Background Percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) is an increasingly utilized treatment for stage I renal cell carcinoma (RCC), albeit without supportive level evidence. Purpose Primary objective was to determine the 10-year oncologic outcomes of PCA RCC in a prospective manner. Secondary objectives were compare after partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical (RN) from National Cancer Database (NCDB), long-term function, risk metachronous disease. Materials Methods In this institutional review...
Evidence suggests that periodontal disease is associated with increased lung cancer risk, but whether pathogens are explanatory unknown. We prospectively studied associations of prediagnostic circulating antibodies oral bacteria and in subgingival plaque cancer.
Abstract Background In response to the cancellation of clinical clerkships due COVID-19, Johns Hopkins (JH) Neurology Education Team developed a virtual elective enhance medical students’ telemedicine skills and foster community between academic institutions. Methods This two-week elective, entitled “Virtual Patient Rounds in Neurology,” was administered once April 2020 May 2020. The curriculum included attending/fellow-led Virtual Rounds, Student Presentations, Asynchronous Educational...
Neuroscience should be at the core of a sound sleep health curriculum, especially in early classroom-based medical education. This article canvasses ways which medicine has been rapidly transformed by tele-sleep tools and research on neurobiological mechanisms underlying disorders comorbidities associated with disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, movement or neurocognitive disorders.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite strong evidence supporting benefits cardiac rehabilitation (CR), over 80% eligible patients do not participate in CR. Digital health technologies (ie, delivery care using internet, wearable devices, and mobile apps) have potential to address challenges associated with traditional facility-based CR programs, but little known about comprehensiveness these interventions serve as digital...
