    Abstract Abstract: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only potentially curative option for patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Advances in conditioning regimens and supportive measures have reduced treatment-related mortality and increased the role of transplantation, leading to more patients undergoing HSCT. However, posttransplant relapse of MDS remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for this procedure, necessitating expert management and ongoing results analysis. In this article, we review treatment options and our institutional approaches to managing MDS relapse after HSCT, using illustrative clinical cases that exemplify different clinical manifestations and management of relapse. We address areas of controversy relating to conditioning regimen intensity, chemotherapeutic bridging, and donor selection. In addition, we discuss future directions for advancing the field, including (1) the need for prospective clinical trials separating MDS from acute myeloid leukemia and focusing on posttransplant relapse, as well as (2) the validation of measurable residual disease methodologies to guide timely interventions.

    Abstract Myelodysplastic Neoplasms (MDS) are a group of clonal disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and morphologic dysplasia. Clinical manifestations of MDS vary widely and are dictated in large part by a range of genetic aberrations. The lack of robust in vitro models for MDS has limited the ability to conduct high throughput drug screens, which in turn has hampered the development of novel therapies for MDS. There are very few well-characterized MDS cell lines, and the available cell lines expand poorly in vitro. Conventional xenograft mouse models can provide an in vivo vessel to provide growth of cancer cells, but human MDS cells engraft poorly. Three-dimensional (3D) scaffold models that form human "ossicles" represent a promising new approach and can reproduce the intricate communication between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and their environment. Genetically engineered mice utilize specific mutations and may not represent the entire array of human MDS; however, genetically engineered mice provided in vivo proof of principle for novel agents such as luspatercept, demonstrating the clinical utility of this approach. This review offers an overview of available preclinical MDS models and potential approaches to accelerate accurate clinical translation.

    Abstract Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) are a heterogenous group of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas that are far less sensitive to chemotherapy than their B-cell counterparts. Despite their poor prognosis, they are treated similarly to most aggressive B-cell lymphomas, heavily relying on CHOP or CHOP-like combination chemotherapy irrespective of their different subtypes or biology. The last decade has seen the emergence of many targeted therapies that include histone deacetylase inhibitors, hypomethylating agents, monoclonal antibodies and PIK3 inhibitors, among others. However, prognosis remains poor especially in the relapsed/refractory setting. Using an extensive pubmed search, the authors will be summarizing the different trials that led to these approved targeted agents as well as novel combination strategies. The fundamental recognition that different subtypes of PTCL have specific biological features that drive not only proliferation, but also responses to different treatment approaches, should be informing the design of future clinical trials.

    Abstract Purpose of review: To discuss the impact that next-generation sequencing has had on myeloproliferative neoplasm prognosis and treatment response.
    Recent findings: Extended genetic testing has led to a more comprehensive understanding of the mutational landscape in the myeloproliferative neoplasms. More refined prognostic models that predict disease course have therefore been developed. In myelofibrosis, this has led to a more nuanced prognostic assessment which is a necessary tool for the identification of potential transplant patients. The extended molecular profile may also help set expectations for ruxolitinib response duration. In essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera, elucidation of the molecular landscape beyond driving mutations may identify patients at risk for more rapid progression. However, results from testing are less likely to lead to action, at least in the current era. Use of next-generation sequencing has become routine in myelofibrosis, as a means of identifying patients at highest risk for progression, who may be eligible for transplantation. Extended genetic sequencing is still investigational in essential thrombocytosis and polycythemia vera, and not recommended by guidelines.

    Abstract Acute diarrhea is a prevalent disease worldwide and a cause of mortality in low and middle-income countries. In previous studies, the causative enteropathogen is found in 38% to 58% of patients, leaving a considerable diagnostic gap. In this study, we intend to determine the pathogenic agents responsible for acute diarrhea in patients presenting to the Emergency Departments of several Lebanese hospitals. A total of 100 stool samples were collected between June 2022 and June 2023 from patients presenting with acute diarrhea to the Emergency Departments. Pathogens were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. The average age for the patients was 53 years old. All patients presented with diarrhea, 15 of them had fever associated. In total, 46 patients were admitted to the hospital (70%), among them 80% received Intravenous antibiotics. Campylobacter was the most common agent detected in 36%, followed by Rotavirus 19%, and Noroviruses 15%. The rest was detected at lower percentages. Bacteria accounted for 49% of cases, viruses for 39%, and parasitic infection 6%. Acute diarrhea epidemiology is understudied in Lebanon. This study is the first Lebanese data about acute diarrhea pathogens. Avoiding overuse of antibiotics in bacterial versus viral infections can be achieved while prevention campaigns can raise awareness about food and water safety at the community level.

    Abstract The emergence of the Coronavirus Disease -19 (COVID-19) pandemic, has had a tremendous global impact, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide and especially in the United States, where nearly one third of the cases are located. Although involvement of the lower respiratory track accounts for most of the morbidity and mortality seen, the virus involves several organ systems and the syndrome exhibits clinical diversity with a wide range of symptoms and manifestations. The involvement of elements of the hematopoietic system is prominent in severe cases and associated with poor outcomes and mortality. Lymphopenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and a prothrombotic state are common manifestations of COVID-19 and have important treatment and prognostic implications. Better understanding of the mechanisms of the pathophysiology of COVID-19-induced hematological abnormalities may ultimately result in better ways to treat them and decrease the associated morbidity and mortality.
