1. Hemophagocytosis frequently occurs during systemic inflammation and is associated with increased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression.
2. Within bone marrow of sepsis patients, macrophages constitute the principal source of HO-1 expression, which reflects heme breakdown.
3. Very high serum ferritin levels in pediatric patients with systemic inflammation are associated with increased risk of critical care and death.
This document provides an overview of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Some key points:
- XLA is a rare primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the BTK gene, which is important for B cell development and antibody production.
- It was first described in 1952 and only affects males. Clinical manifestations include recurrent bacterial infections from a young age due to lack of antibodies.
- Diagnosis involves detecting very low or absent antibody levels and identifying a mutation in the BTK gene in affected males. Treatment involves lifelong monthly immunoglobulin replacement therapy.
1) The document discusses various genetic conditions that cause susceptibility to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, including X-linked lymphoproliferative disease types 1 and 2.
2) XLP1 is caused by mutations in the SH2D1A gene, which encodes the SAP protein critical for T, NK, and NKT cell function. XLP2 is caused by mutations in XIAP, which regulates apoptosis and innate immunity.
3) These conditions typically present with life-threatening complications of EBV infection like hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, lymphoma, or hypogammaglobulinemia. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
This document discusses aplastic anemia and infections in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT) or immunosuppressive therapy (IST) for aplastic anemia in India. It notes that true incidence of aplastic anemia in India is unknown but it is more common in Asia than the West. For patients under 40, SCT from a HLA-matched sibling donor is the treatment of choice. However, late referrals and financial constraints can increase morbidity and mortality during SCT and IST in India due to less effective first-line treatments, recurrent transfusions, and infections. The document provides data on outcomes of various transplantation approaches and immunosuppressive therapies for aplastic anemia at Christian Medical College, Vello

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common type of vasculitis that affects elderly individuals. The study assessed whether three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BANK1 gene are associated with susceptibility to biopsy-proven GCA. Genotyping of 222 GCA patients and 534 controls found no significant differences in genotype frequencies between the two groups for the three BANK1 SNPs. There was a trend toward a decreased risk of GCA in individuals carrying a specific genotype. However, the results do not support a major role for these BANK1 gene variants in susceptibility to GCA.

Glutathione deficiency is associated with impaired survival in HIV disease. Survival rates are 90% for those with glutathione levels above 0.91 and only 32% for those below 0.91. Supplementation with a whey-based oral supplement designed to provide glutathione precursors significantly increased glutathione levels and dramatically improved pulmonary function in a patient with obstructive lung disease. Cystine is the preferred form of cysteine for glutathione synthesis in macrophages and astrocytes and for immune enhancement.
Severe sepsis affects over 750,000 Americans annually and has a high mortality rate. Recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC), also known as Xigris, reduces inflammation and coagulation in sepsis patients. The PROWESS clinical trial showed a 6.1% reduction in mortality for rhAPC-treated sepsis patients versus placebo. Subsequent trials confirmed rhAPC's effectiveness in reducing mortality, especially for elderly patients and those treated early in disease progression. However, rhAPC use requires careful patient selection due to risk of bleeding and is not recommended for children outside of specific high-risk conditions.
Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia refers to thrombotic microangiopathy which involves blood clots in small blood vessels along with hemolysis and symptoms of clotting. There are three types - thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). TTP and HUS specifically present with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and symptoms of clotting. TTP typically affects the central nervous system systemically while HUS is limited to the kidneys. The cause of TTP is often a genetic deficiency in the enzyme ADAMTS13
This document provides practice recommendations for managing myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) during pregnancy. It discusses the risks of thrombosis and hemorrhage during pregnancy for women with MPNs. It recommends low-dose aspirin throughout pregnancy and thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin starting in early pregnancy for high-risk patients. For high platelet counts, it suggests cytoreductive therapy with pegylated interferon. Close monitoring during pregnancy and the postpartum period is advised due to maternal and fetal risks associated with MPNs.
This document discusses racial disparities in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) between black and white patients. It presents data showing higher rates of CKD and ESRD in black patients across all levels of kidney function. It also summarizes various genetic studies that identified genes like MYH9 and APOL1 that may contribute to these racial disparities by increasing the risk of kidney disease in black populations.
This document summarizes recent advances in understanding the genetic basis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Genome-wide association studies and other large genetic studies have identified 30 genes associated with SSc, mostly related to immunity. Three recent large studies identified additional genetic loci associated with SSc and helped clarify associations within the HLA region. However, genetics only explains part of SSc risk and heterogeneity remains poorly understood. Future research needs to address heterogeneity to improve understanding and treatment of this complex disease.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) due to mutations in the SERPINA1 gene were differentiated into hepatic cells. The PiZZ iPSC-derived hepatic cells displayed intracellular accumulation of mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein compared to controls, resulting from decreased AAT protein flux and secretion. Microarray analysis identified 135 genes that distinguished PiZZ iPSC-hepatic cells from controls, providing insights into AATD liver disease pathogenesis. The disease-specific cells also exhibited increased autophagic flux and responses to drugs that could augment or adversely affect autophagy, supporting the utility of
Transcriptional signaling pathways inversely regulated in alzheimer's disease...Elsa von Licy
This document summarizes a study that analyzed gene expression data from patients with Alzheimer's disease and glioblastoma multiforme to identify signaling pathways that are inversely regulated between the two diseases. The study found that the ERK/MAPK pathway is upregulated in glioblastoma but downregulated in Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, the angiopoietin signaling pathway is upregulated in Alzheimer's disease but downregulated in glioblastoma. Conditioned media containing amyloid-beta peptide suppressed glioblastoma cell growth and ERK/MAPK signaling, suggesting amyloid-beta may contribute to the inverse relationship between the diseases by inhibiting glioblastoma signaling pathways.
Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening condition that can occur in patients with rheumatological disorders. It is characterized by proliferation and activation of macrophages that leads to cytokine overproduction and hemophagocytosis. The document discusses the pathogenesis, triggers, clinical features, diagnostic guidelines, management, and prognosis of MAS. Treatment involves high-dose corticosteroids as initial therapy, with cyclosporine A and other immunosuppressants used for severe or steroid-resistant cases. Early diagnosis and treatment have improved outcomes for MAS patients.
This document summarizes key information about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) including its invisible, inconclusive, and incurable nature at diagnosis. It notes that CLL is often asymptomatic at diagnosis but can have an aggressive clinical course over time, reflecting underlying biological heterogeneity. While treatment has progressed, CLL remains incurable. The document discusses CLL diagnosis and treatment timing and changes in the host and tumor over time. It provides background on CLL occurring in mature B cells and the importance of signaling pathways. The document summarizes prognostic factors in CLL including genetics, mutations, and biomarkers from the tumor and microenvironment. It notes the importance of biological risk stratification and targeting signaling pathways in CLL treatment.
Transplantation of organs and tissues has become common for treating diseases. Complications include graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and increased risk of infection and cancer due to lifelong immunosuppression. GVHD occurs when transplanted immune cells attack the recipient's body, commonly affecting the skin, bowel and liver. Opportunistic infections are frequent due to weakened immunity, including viruses like CMV and fungi such as Candida. Cancer risk is elevated 100-fold, with lymphoproliferative disorders, Kaposi's sarcoma and skin cancers being most common.

The document summarizes the risks associated with surgical bleeding and blood transfusions. It discusses how bleeding can lead to hypovolemia and anemia, and the compensatory mechanisms the body employs. It then outlines the risks of transfusions, including transfusion reactions, infections transmitted through blood-borne pathogens, transfusion-related immune modulation that can increase infection risk and mortality, and the storage effects on red blood cells that are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It notes that leukoreduction of blood products reduces some of these transfusion risks.
Gene expression signatures in tuberculosis have greater overlap with autoimmune diseases than infectious diseases. The analysis identified 2,468 differentially expressed genes in tuberculosis, 8,134 in infection, and 11,348 in autoimmune disorders. There was more overlap between the tuberculosis and autoimmune signatures, with 810 shared genes, compared to only 96 shared with infection. Additionally, pathways analysis showed the predominant involvement of type I interferon signaling, which is important in autoimmunity. This supports the hypothesis that an autoimmune process contributes to pathology in pulmonary tuberculosis.
This document summarizes statin-induced myopathies. It discusses statin mechanisms of action and predisposing factors. It describes different clinical phenotypes including rhabdomyolysis, myalgia with mild CK elevation, self-limited toxic myopathy, and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy associated with anti-HMGCR antibodies. Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy is characterized by muscle necrosis, regeneration, and scarce inflammation. Diagnosis involves detecting elevated CK, myopathic EMG findings, and anti-HMGCR antibodies. Treatment depends on severity but may include immunosuppression.
The document discusses immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), including its definition, incidence, median age of patients, and pathophysiology. ITP is defined as isolated thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100,000/ml) without associated causes or disorders. The incidence in adults is 0.2-0.4 new cases per 10,000 people per year, with a prevalence of 0.9-2.6 per 10,000. The median age of affected adults is 50-55 years. The pathophysiology involves autoantibodies against platelet antigens that result in platelet destruction and impaired platelet production.
This document discusses using large datasets to optimize diagnosis and treatment in intensive care units (ICUs). It begins with an overview of some key problems including the high costs of ICU care and outcomes of death and disability for millions of ICU patients each year. It then outlines the agenda to first discuss physiologic distinctions between patients, using genomic and other data to identify distinctions, and lessons learned from prior research. The document proposes using these insights and a path to precision medicine to improve outcomes for critically ill patients.
This document discusses a study that compared accounts from doctors and nurses on how they provide emotional care for parents of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The study found that doctors focused on clinical care and explanations of treatment to reassure parents, while nurses relied more on psychological skills and explicit discussion of parents' emotions. Both doctors and nurses saw ensuring emotional care as a team effort rather than the responsibility of individual practitioners.

Genetics play an important role in infectious diseases. Host genetic factors determine susceptibility and disease progression for many infections like tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV/AIDS. Specific genes influence disease outcomes, like sickle-cell trait providing protection against malaria. Understanding host genetics provides insights into disease pathways and targets for prevention and treatment. Future applications include personalized medicine, genetic counseling, and gene therapy.
The document discusses biologic therapies for rheumatological conditions. It provides information on TNF antagonists that are approved for treating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthropathies, and psoriasis. It discusses the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, administration, and safety monitoring of TNF inhibitors like infliximab, etanercept, and adalimumab. The document also summarizes clinical trial data on the effectiveness of TNF inhibitors for conditions like Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis.
This study examined the relationship between atypical lymphocytes, large immature cells, platelet counts, and hematocrit in 79 patients with dengue virus infection. The results showed that increases in the percentage of atypical lymphocytes were associated with decreases in platelet count, suggesting atypical lymphocytes may play a role in platelet count fluctuations in dengue. A similar relationship was found between large immature cells and platelet count. The study supports the potential of atypical lymphocytes and large immature cells as predictive markers of the hematological changes seen in dengue, such as low platelet counts and increased hematocrit. However, limitations include the retrospective single-center design and lack of effective prognostic markers for vascular leakage in dengue.
Immunological Aspects of Myasthenia Gravis Ade Wijaya
MG is an antibody-mediated neuromuscular junction disease caused by IgG antibodies against acetylcholine receptors or the muscle-specific kinase in some cases. The thymus often exhibits structural changes like tumors or follicular hyperplasia and plays an important role in the pathogenesis by impairing regulatory T cells and conventional T cells, creating a pro-inflammatory environment. Understanding the immunological mechanisms involved helps manage patients.
This document discusses mechanisms of action in modern renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. It summarizes that loss of the VHL gene leads to uncontrolled angiogenesis driven by HIF and VEGF overexpression. VEGF inhibitors are standard first-line treatment but resistance develops via alternative angiogenic pathways. mTOR inhibitors overcome VEGF resistance and temsirolimus is standard for poor-prognosis RCC. Resistance to mTOR inhibitors may involve PI3K/Akt activation. FGFR, c-Met, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are investigational targets for RCC treatment. Defining resistance mechanisms and biomarkers for treatment selection remains an ongoing challenge.
Neurological Manifestations of Hemoglobinopathies Ade Wijaya
1. Hemoglobinopathies like thalassemia and sickle cell disease can cause neurological complications that need to be detected and treated due to their impact on quality of life.
2. Thalassemia is associated with extramedullary hematopoiesis, stroke, chelation neurotoxicity, neurocognitive dysfunctions, and central nervous system infections.
3. Sickle cell disease can result in headache, stroke, neurocognitive issues, mental health disorders, and central nervous system infections.
This document discusses severe infections in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients with SLE have an increased risk of more severe infections due to immune dysfunction from the disease and immunosuppression from treatments. Common infection sites include the urinary tract, lungs, joints, central nervous system, and abdomen. Bacteria cause 80-90% of infections. Risk factors for major infections in SLE patients include older age, longer disease duration, organ damage, and invasive infections. Infections are a leading cause of death in SLE patients, accounting for 25-40% of deaths in studies from various countries.
Prompt withdrawal of the culprit drug is essential in managing toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Wound care including sterile handling and antibiotics according to culture results are also important. Systemic steroids are contraindicated due to risk of infection and poor wound healing. Cyclosporine may provide a survival benefit but requires further study. A tumor necrosis factor inhibitor such as a single dose of etanercept can halt skin detachment and induce rapid healing in some cases.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

17. Substituting dexamethasone for prednisone complicates remission
induction in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Hurwitz CA, Silverman LB, Schorin MA, Clavell LA, Dalton VK, Glick KM, Gelber RD, Sallan
SE.
CONCLUSIONS:
Substitution of dexamethasone for prednisone or methylprednisolone in an otherwise
intensive conventional induction regimen for previously untreated children with ALL
resulted in an alarmingly high incidence of septic episodes and toxic deaths
In contrast, high dose intravenous methyl prednisolone treatment did not increase
mortality
