The strain ADMK78T showed differences in physiological, phenotypic, and protein profiles estimated by MALDI-TOF MS to its closest relatives. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic properties, and phylogenetic analyses, the strain ADMK78T represents a novel species, Peteryoungia desertarenae sp. nov. Eeyarestatin1 The type strain is ADMK78T (= MCC 3400T; KACC 21383T; JCM 33657T). We also proposed the reclassification of Rhizobium daejeonense, R. naphthalenivorans and R. selenitireducens, into the genus Ciceribacter, based on core gene phylogeny and AAI values.
Vaccine-associated hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy (VAHL) is frequently observed on [
F]FDG PET-CT following BNT162b2 administration. Recent data suggest a prominent B cell germinal-center (GC) response elicited by mRNA vaccines in draining lymph nodes. Thus, in this study we aimed to explore the correlation between VAHL and humoral immunity as reflected by post-vaccination serologic testing and by comparing the incidence of VAHL between lymphoma patients treated recently with B cell depleting therapy and those that were not.
A total of 137 patients with hematologic malignancy that had post-vaccination [
F]FDG PET-CT were included (All-PET group), 86 received both vaccine doses before imaging (PET-2 group). Their VAHL status and grade on imaging were recorded. Among 102 lymphoma patients, 34 (33.3%) were treated during the year prior vaccination with anti-CD20 antibody containing therapy. A subgroup of 54 patients also underwent serologic testing 2-3weeks after the booster dose, and their anti-spike titeDG PET-CT of patients with hematologic malignancy may reflect GC B cell proliferation and an effective humoral response elicited by BNT162b2 vaccine.
Current clinical and imaging tools remain suboptimal for predicting treatment response and prognosis in CNS lymphomas. We investigated the prognostic value of baseline [
F]FDG PET in patients with CNS lymphoma receiving ibrutinib-based treatments.
Fifty-three patients enrolled in a prospective clinical trial and underwent brain PET before receiving single-agent ibrutinib or ibrutinib in combination with methotrexate with or without rituximab. [
F]FDG uptake in these lesions was quantified by drawing PET volumes of interest around up to five [
F]FDG-avid lesions per patient (with uptake greater than surrounding brain). We measured standardized uptake values (SUV
), metabolic tumor volumes, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and the sum thereof in these lesions. We analyzed the relationship between PET parameters and mutation status, overall response rates, and progression-free survival (PFS).
Thirty-eight patients underwent single-agent therapy and 15 received combination therapy. On PET, 15/53 patients had no measurable disease. In the other 38 patients, a total of 71 lesions were identified on PET. High-intensity [
F]FDG uptake and a larger volume of [
F]FDG-avid disease were inversely related to treatment outcome (p ≤ 0.005). In univariable analysis, PFS was linearly correlated with all PET parameters, with stronger association when sum-values were used. A multivariable model showed that risk of progression increased by 9% for every 5-unit increase in sumSUV
(hazard ratio = 1.09 [95% CI 1.04 to 1.14]).
Higher lesional metabolic parameters are inversely related to outcome in patients undergoing ibrutinib-based therapies, and sumSUV
emerged as a strong independent prognostic factor.

International guidelines recommend pharmacotherapy combinations for chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs) but medical management remains suboptimal.
The CICD-LT registry is investigating short- and long-term outcomes and management in patients in European Society of Cardiology (ESC) member countries, in a longitudinal ESC EURObservational Research Programme aimed at improving CCS management.
Between 1 May 2015 and 31 July 2018, 9174 patients with previous ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI or coronary revascularisation, or other CCS, were recruited during a routine ambulatory visit or elective revascularisation procedure. Baseline clinical data were recorded and prescribed medications analysed at initial contact and discharge, and according to patient gender and age (<75 vs. ≥75 years).
Poorly controlled cardiovascular risk factors, including current smoking (18.5%), obesity (33.9%), diabetes (25.8%), raised low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (73.3%) and persistent hypertension (24.atients aged ≥75 years and, to some extent, female patients were less likely to receive guidelines-recommended drug combinations than younger and male patients. One- and two-year follow-up will study prescribing changes and associations between baseline characteristics/prescribing and subsequent clinical outcomes.
This population-based cross-stional and panel study investigated disparities in the management of coronary heart disease (CHD) by level of socioeconomic status.
CHD patients (aged ≥18 years), treated in 438 general practices in Australia, with ≥3 recent encounters with their general practitioners, with last encounter being during 2016-2018, were included. Secondary prevention prescriptions and number of treatment targets achieved were each modelled using a Poisson regression adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic indicators, remoteness of patient's residence, comorbidities, lifetime follow-up, number of patient-general practitioner encounters and cluster effect within the general practices. The latter model was constructed using the Generalised Estimating Equations approach. Sensitivity analysis was run by comorbidity.
Of 137,408 patients (47% women), approximately 48% were prescribed ≥3 secondary prevention medications. However, only 44% were screened for CHD-associated risk factors. Of the latter, determined whether barriers such as low adherence to treatment, failure to fill prescriptions, low income, low level of education or other barriers may explain these findings.
