[VIRTUAL] The Response to Benralizumab at 1 Year After A Sub-Optimal Response to Mepolizumab in Severe Eosinophilic Asthma (ATS 2020 Virtual) - Jul 6, 2020 - Abstract #ATSI2020ATS-I_1287; We report real world clinical effectiveness of benralizumab at 1 year following a poor response to mepolizumab in SEA with reductions in exacerbation frequency and OCS exposure, alongside improvements in patient reported outcome measures. Research into the mechanisms of this differential response is required as are randomised head-to-head trials to aid clinicians choosing between mAbs in SEA.

Journal: Challenges in managing graft-versus-host disease in developing countries: a perspective. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2020 For optimal management, HCT programs should develop systems in place for long-term follow-up of HCT survivors and have a low threshold to initiate treatments for GVHD early. Awareness and health policy programs must be initiated at the grass-root level for long-term management of these survivors in developing countries.

Journal: Canine sterile steroid-responsive lymphadenitis in 49 dogs. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2020 Awareness and health policy programs must be initiated at the grass-root level for long-term management of these survivors in developing countries. Sterile steroid-responsive lymphadenitis should be considered in dogs with pyrexia of unknown origin with inflammatory lymphadenopathy if no underlying cause can be found and often responds well to immunosuppressive corticosteroid therapy.

Journal: Comparison of initial treatment with and without corticosteroids for suspected acute pancreatitis in dogs. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2020 Sterile steroid-responsive lymphadenitis should be considered in dogs with pyrexia of unknown origin with inflammatory lymphadenopathy if no underlying cause can be found and often responds well to immunosuppressive corticosteroid therapy. In dogs with acute pancreatitis, initial treatment with prednisolone resulted in earlier reductions in C-reactive protein concentration and earlier improvement of clinical signs.

Biomarker, Clinical, Journal, Head-to-Head: Eosinophil-guided corticosteroid therapy in patients admitted to hospital with COPD exacerbation (CORTICO-COP): a multicentre, randomised, controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2020 P4 Eosinophil-guided therapy was non-inferior compared with standard care for the number of days alive and out of hospital, and reduced the duration of systemic corticosteroid exposure, although we could not entirely exclude harm on some secondary outcome measures. Larger studies will help to determine the full safety profile of this strategy and its role in the management of COPD exacerbations.

Clinical, Journal: Rapid clinical progression of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a horse. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2020 This report was the first to describe the use of chemotherapy, albeit unsuccessful, for the treatment of B-cell CLL in a horse. This information should be useful for guiding expectations for prognosis and management of other horses affected with the disease.

Journal: Progressive cutaneous angiomatosis in the metatarsal region of a cat. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2020 Prednisolone/prednisone elicits a similar electroclinical response as ACTH for infantile spasms, which indicates that it can be an alternative to ACTH for treating infantile spasms. Findings in the cat of the present report highlighted that cutaneous angiomatosis could recur in a short period of time and that amputation of the affected limb was a viable treatment option when surgical resection was not successful.

[VIRTUAL] A COMPARISON OF ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION AND BFM 95 CHEMOTHERAPY PROTOCOL IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ePoster Area) - Jul 3, 2020 - Abstract #EBMT2020EBMT_3607; Of 84 transplanted patients, 40 received The Hyper - Cyclophosphamide - Vincristin - Adriamycin - Dexamethasone (Hyper-CVAD) chemotherapy, 21 received Cancer and Leukemia Group B (cyclophosphamide, daunorubicine, vincristine, prednisolon and L-asparaginase) chemotherapy and 23 received Berlin -Frankfurt - Munster 95 (BFM 95) (prednisolone, vincristine, daunorubicine and L-asparaginase) chemotherapy and AHSCT was performedearly after obtaining a complete remission. These results suggest that whether if there exist any advantage of AHSCT over BFM-95 chemotherapy regimen for adults with ALL in first remission large prospective randomized studies are needed before reaching a definitive conclusion.
