This open-label, multicentre phase I/II study determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and efficacy of clofarabine administered with cytarabine and idarubicin in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients lacking favourable genetic aberrations. The MTD was 30 mg/m clofarabine for patients below and above 60 years. The most frequently reported grade 3-4 non-haematological adverse events were infectious and gastrointestinal toxicities.

Primary refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia is associated with dismal prognosis. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only therapeutic option that offers prolonged survival and cure in this setting. In the absence of a matched sibling donor, transplantation from unrelated 10/10 or 9/10 and haploidentical donors are potential alternatives. Read More

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) can easily transform into acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a process which is often associated with clonal evolution and development of complex karyotypes. Deletion of 5q (del(5q)) is the most frequent aberration in complex karyotypes. This prompted us to analyze clonal evolution in MDS patients with del(5q). Read More

The evolutionary conserved miR-125b is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) enhancing self-renewal and survival. Accordingly, over-expression of miR-125b in HSC may induce myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukemia with long latency. During hematopoietic cell maturation miR-125b expression decreases, and the function of miR-125b in mature granulocytes is not yet known. Read More

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are envisaged as ultra-thin solid lubricants for nanomechanical systems. So far, their frictional properties at the nanoscale have been studied by standard friction force microscopy. However, lateral manipulation of nanoparticles is a more suitable method to study the dependence of friction on the crystallography of two contacting surfaces. Read More

Molecular measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment is not established in approximately 60% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients because of the lack of suitable markers for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To overcome this limitation, we established an error-corrected next-generation sequencing (NGS) MRD approach that can be applied to any somatic gene mutation. The clinical significance of this approach was evaluated in 116 AML patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in complete morphologic remission (CR). Read More

Patients with secondary AML (sAML) with antecedent myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) tend to have high-risk disease based on the older age of patients, high-risk cytogenetics, and higher number of prior treatments. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is the only potentially curative therapy available. Eight hundred and two adults with sAML and prior MDS/MPN who received a first HCT between 2000 and 2016 were included in the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplant (EBMT) Acute Leukemia Working Party (ALWP) study.

Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) admission of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients is associated with relatively poor outcome. Since longitudinal data on this topic remains scarce, we analyzed reasons for ICU admission as well as short- and long-term outcome of critically ill HSCT recipients.
Methods: A total of 942 consecutive adult patients were transplanted at Hannover Medical School from 2000 to 2013. Read More

FLAMSA followed by sequential reduced intensity conditioning and treosulfan/fludarabine are frequently used conditioning approaches used in centers of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is currently unknown whether any of these regimens is superior to the others in terms of disease control and toxicity. Using the Acute Leukemia Working Party/EBMT multicenter registry we compared the outcomes of AML patients 45-65 of age transplanted between the years 2007 and 2016. Read More

In contrast to prehospital emergency medicine, there are no comparable established structures or statutory requirements for structural and procedural organisation, or qualification of personnel and equipment for in-hospital emergency care in Germany. However, in perioperative patients, unexpected complications are fairly common on regular wards. Often, even hours before a possible critical event, warning signs of deterioration are present, which too often go unnoticed. Read More

Herman Melville's novella "Benito Cereno" (1855/56) is one of the best-studied texts both within Melville's oeuvre and nineteenth-century American literature in general. In recent decades, its puzzling structure and fragmented narrative perspective as well as its symbolism and themes have been subject to critical scrutiny mostly in the context of inquiries into the text's racial politics regarding the institution of slavery. More specifically, the canonical tale about a slave uprising on the ship , its detection by a Massachusetts-born captain and its consequences, has been discussed in the context of Paul Gilroy's black Atlantic paradigm.

Objective: To determine whether systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) susceptibility loci that were identified by candidate gene studies demonstrate association with systemic JIA in the largest study population assembled to date.
Methods: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 11 previously reported systemic JIA risk loci were examined for association in 9 populations, including 770 patients with systemic JIA and 6,947 controls. The effect of systemic JIA-associated SNPs on gene expression was evaluated in silico in paired whole genome and RNA sequencing data from the lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) of 373 European subjects from the 1000 Genomes Project.

Canonical K channels are tetrameric and highly K-selective, whereas two-pore-domain K (K2P) channels form dimers, but with a similar pore architecture. A two-pore-domain potassium channel TWIK1 (KCNK1 or K2P1) allows permeation of Na and other monovalent ions, resulting mainly from the presence of Thr-118 in the P1 domain. However, the mechanistic basis for this reduced selectivity is unclear. Read More

Objective: Several effective pharmacologic treatment options for polyarticual juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have emerged but initial treatment is heterogeneous in Germany. Therefore, the German Society of Pediatric Rheumatolgy has established a commission to develop consensus "Protocols on classification, monitoring and therapy in children's rheumatology (PRO-KIND)" to harmonize diagnostic and treatment approaches for new-onset JIA in Germany.
Methods: A set of definitions for in- and exclusion, diagnostic workup, parameters for the evaluation of disease activity criteria, therapeutic options, medication dosing, monitoring recommendations, targets, definitions of a therapy failure and four therapeutic algorithms developed by a working group were agreed by web based survey to which all members of the GKJR have been invited.
