(Pubmed Central) - Nov 3, 2023 Molecular docking analyses revealed that mutant H. pylori strains with resistance-related mutations exhibited a lower susceptibility to CAM and LVX compared with wild-type strains due to significant differences in non-covalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions) leading to destabilized antibiotic-protein binding, ultimately resulting in antibiotic resistance. Dual resistance to CAM and LVX was found, indicating the successful evolution of H. pylori resistance to unrelated antimicrobials and thus an increased risk to human health.

Flat Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin Primary Infection Prophylaxis in Multiple Myeloma Patients on Bispecific Antibody Therapy: Vanderbilt Experience (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_4738; CONCLUSIONS We observed relatively lower rate of severe or = G3 infectious events with 10g flat IVIG dosing schedule. While our results represent a small, single-institutional cohort of predominantly anti-GPRC5D treated RRMM patients and require prospective validation in a randomized (IVIG 10g vs 0.4g/kg body weight) fashion, they demonstrate feasibility of reduced level dosing of a critical resource such as IVIG, in the fast expanding, national/global BsAb-based MM armamentarium.
