    Abstract Secondary acute lymphoblastic leukemia (s-ALL) comprises up to 10% of ALL patients. However, data regarding s-ALL outcomes is limited. To answer what is the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in s-ALL, a matched-pair analysis in a 1:2 ratio was conducted to compare outcomes between s-ALL and de novo ALL (dn-ALL) patients reported between 2000-2021 to the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry. Among 9720 ALL patients, 351 (3.6%) were s-ALL, of which 80 were in first complete remission (CR1) with a known precedent primary diagnosis 58.8% solid tumor (ST), 41.2% hematological diseases (HD). The estimated 2-year relapse incidence (RI) was 19.1% (95%CI: 11-28.9), leukemia-free survival (LFS) 52.1% (95%CI: 39.6-63.2), non-relapse mortality (NRM) 28.8% (95%CI: 18.4-40), GvHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) 39.4% (95%CI: 27.8-50.7), and overall survival (OS) 60.8% (95%CI: 47.9-71.4), and did not differ between ST and HD patients. In a matched-pair analysis, there was no difference in RI, GRFS, NRM, LFS, or OS between s-ALL and dn-ALL except for a higher incidence of chronic GvHD (51.9% vs. 31.4%) in s-ALL. To conclude, patients with s-ALL who received HCT in CR1 have comparable outcomes to patients with dn-ALL.

    Abstract Purpose: To longitudinally investigate choroidal and choriocapillaris perfusion metrics and the number of choroidal hyperreflective foci (HRF) in patients with acute leukaemia (AL) before and after disease remission and to correlate these metrics with systemic parameters during active disease.
    Methods: Prospective, longitudinal study of 26 eyes of 14 AL patients. All patients underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCTA) in the acute phase. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT), total, luminal and stromal choroidal area (TCA, LCA, SCA), choroidal vascularity index (CVI), choriocapillaris flow deficits (cFD) density, and choroidal HRF number were computed. In a subset, the measurements were repeated after AL remission. Age- and gender-matched 26 healthy controls were recruited for cross-sectional comparisons.
    Results: Patient's mean age was 59 ± 12 years. The TCA, LCA, SCA and choroidal HRF number were significantly higher in patients than controls (p = 0.028, p = 0.044, p = 0.024 and p = 0.001, respectively). Lower haemoglobin levels were associated with lower CT (r = 0.58, p = 0.008). Higher D-dimer values were associated with lower TCA (r = -0.52, p = 0.008), lower LCA (r = -0.50, p = 0.006), higher cFD density (r = 0.41, p = 0.044) and higher choroidal HRF number (r = 0.47, p = 0.008). The CT, TCA, SCA and choroidal HRF number significantly reduced after AL remission (p = 0.001, p = 0.047, p = 0.007 and p = 0.002 respectively). The CVI increased significantly compared to the active phase (p = 0.013).
    Conclusion: The study demonstrates a subclinical choroidal involvement in patients with AL, with relative stromal thickening in the acute phase, and normalization after disease remission. Choroidal HRF were identified as a biomarker of leukaemic choroidopathy. Choriocapillaris and choroidal vascularity were inversely correlated with a systemic pro-coagulant state.

    Abstract The clinical picture of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in various target organs has been extensively studied and described. However, relatively little is known about the characteristics of oral cavity involvement. This is surprising, considering that oral mucosal and salivary gland cells are known targets for the direct replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and that the presence of the virus in saliva is a source of transmission of the infection. The aim of our study was to investigate the presence and prevalence of oral manifestations in COVID-19 survivors. We profiled the oral involvement in 122 COVID-19 survivors that were hospitalized and followed up at a single-referral university hospital in Milan, Italy, between July 23, 2020 and September 7, 2020, after a median (interquartile range) time from hospital discharge of 104 (95 to 132) d. We found that oral manifestations, specifically salivary gland ectasia, were unexpectedly common, with oral manifestations being detected in 83.9% while salivary gland ectasia in 43% of COVID-19 survivors. Salivary gland ectasia reflected the hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2, as demonstrated by the significant relationship with C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at hospital admission, and with the use of antibiotics during acute disease. Both LDH levels and antibiotic administration survived as independent predictors of salivary gland ectasia at multivariable analysis. Temporomandibular joint abnormalities, facial pain, and masticatory muscle weakness were also common. Overall, this retrospective and prospective cohort study of COVID-19 survivors revealed that residual damage of the oral cavity persists in the vast majority of patients far beyond clinical recovery, and suggests that the oral cavity represents a preferential target for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further studies are needed to clarify the connection between SARS-CoV-2 infection and oral disorders.

    Abstract We compared the outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (HaploHSCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in 719 patients (pts) with primary refractory (PR) / first relapse (Rel) secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) (n=129) versus those of de novo AML (n=590), transplanted between 2010 and 2022. A higher percentage of pts with sAML versus de novo AML had PR disease (73.6% vs. 58.6%) (p=0.002). In 81.4% of sAML pts, the antecedent hematological disorder was myelodysplastic syndrome. Engraftment was 83.5% vs. 88.4% in sAML and de novo AML, respectively (p=0.13). In multivariate analysis HaploHSCT outcomes did not differ significantly between the groups; non-relapse mortality (NRM) hazard ratio (HR) =1.38 (95% CI 0.96-1.98, p=0.083), relapse incidence (RI) HR= 0.68 (95% CI 0.4.7.-1.00, p=0.051). The HRs for leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) were 0.99 (95% CI 0.76-1.28, p=0.94), 0.99 (95% CI 0.77-1.29, p=0.97) and 0.99 (95% CI 0.77-1.27, p=0.94), respectively. We conclude that outcomes of HaploHSCT with PTCy are not different for PR/Rel sAML in comparison to PR/Rel de novo AML, a finding of major clinical importance.

    Abstract Background: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease in which lack of the dystrophin protein causes progressive muscular weakness, cardiomyopathy and respiratory insufficiency. DMD is often associated with other cognitive and behavioral impairments, however the correlation of abnormal dystrophin expression in the central nervous system with brain structure and functioning remains still unclear.
    Objective: To investigate brain involvement in patients with DMD through a multimodal and multivariate approach accounting for potential comorbidities.
    Methods: We acquired T1-weighted and Diffusion Tensor Imaging data from 18 patients with DMD and 18 age- and sex-matched controls with similar cognitive and behavioral profiles. Cortical thickness, structure volume, fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity measures were used in a multivariate analysis performed using a Support Vector Machine classifier accounting for potential comorbidities in patients and controls.
    Results: the classification experiment significantly discriminates between the two populations (97.2% accuracy) and the forward model weights showed that DMD mostly affects the microstructural integrity of long fiber bundles, in particular in the cerebellar peduncles (bilaterally), in the posterior thalamic radiation (bilaterally), in the fornix and in the medial lemniscus (bilaterally). We also reported a reduced cortical thickness, mainly in the motor cortex, cingulate cortex, hippocampal area and insula.
    Conclusions: Our study identified a small pattern of alterations in the CNS likely associated with the DMD diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Unintentional dural puncture (UDP) occurs in 0.5-1.5% of labour epidural analgesia cases. To date, little is known about evidence of UDP-related complications. This work aimed to assess the incidence of intrapartum and postpartum complications in parturients who experienced UDP.
    Methods: This is a 10-year retrospective observational study on parturients admitted to our centre who presented UDP. Data collection gathered UDP-related complications during labour and postpartum. All women who displayed UDP received medical therapy and bed rest. An epidural blood patch (EBP) was not used in this population. Once asymptomatic, patients were discharged from the hospital.
    Results: Out of 7718 neuraxial analgesia cases, 97 cases of UDP occurred (1.25%). During labour, complications appeared in a small percentage of analgesia procedures performed, including total spinal anaesthesia (1.0%), extended motor block (3%), hypotension (4.1%), abnormal foetal heart rate (2%), inadequate analgesia (14.4%), and general anaesthesia following neuraxial anaesthesia failure (33.3% of emergency caesarean sections). During the postpartum period, 53.6% of parturients exhibited a postdural puncture headache, 13.4% showed neurological symptoms, and 14.4% required neurological consultation and neuroimaging. No patient developed subdural hematoma or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis; one woman presented posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome associated with eclampsia. Overall, 82.5% of women experienced an extension of hospital stay.
    Conclusion: Major complications occurred in a small percentage of patients during labour. However, since they represent high-risk maternal and neonatal health events, a dedicated anaesthesiologist and a trained obstetric team are essential. No major neurological complications were registered postpartum, and EBP was not performed. Nevertheless, all patients with UDP were carefully monitored and treated until complete recovery before discharge, leading to an extension of their hospitalization.

    Abstract Direct leukemic infiltration of the eye is most frequently associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), probably due to its well-known central nervous system (CNS) tropism. Systemic treatment alone may not be sufficient for intraocular leukemia. Data on local treatment are scarce. Here, we present two cases of intraocular ALL treated with intravitreal methotrexate (MTX). Initially, anatomical improvement and visual stability were observed. The first patient experienced anatomical and visual worsening after a year of treatment. Treatment was withheld after 2 months for the second patient due to poor systemic conditions. Corneal toxicity and intraocular pressure elevation were observed in the first case. In both cases, eye involvement was associated with CNS or systemic relapse. This highlights the importance of incorporating ocular disease management in a comprehensive approach to therapy. Our experience corroborates previous findings on MTX injections as an effective and safe therapeutic option for intraocular leukemia. Further evidence is needed to consolidate the use of intravitreal MTX to treat such a debilitating localization of leukemia.
