    Abstract Hard-coated surfacing of a few micrometers is widely applied to increase the efficiency of tools, e.g., for cutting, forming, and casting applications. Therefore, the base thermodiffusion surface treatment is a practical solution to these issues by hardening surface layers with interstitial elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and boron. In particular, within this study, the growth kinetics of an iron boride layer on ASTM 283 steel were investigated with two diffusion models of the powder-pack boriding technique in the temperature range of 1123-1273 K with different treatment periods. The first model, called the steady-state diffusion model, used the modified version of the mass balance equations at the Fe

    Title translation Association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment in the family with the elderly.
    Abstract Aim: To determine the association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment in the family with the elderly.
    Methodology: Analytical cross-sectional design in families with geriatric patients. A family with a geriatric patient was considered when at least one of its members was over 60years of age. The comparison groups were the family with a geriatric patient without cognitive impairment and the family with a geriatric patient with mild cognitive impairment determined with the MoCA instrument. Family functionality was evaluated with the family APGAR instrument, which identifies three categories: family functionality, moderate family dysfunction, and severe family dysfunction. Statistical analysis included Chi square and Mann-Whitney test.
    Results: In the family with a geriatric patient, in the group without cognitive impairment the prevalence of family functionality is 89.7% and in the group with mild cognitive impairment the prevalence of family functionality is 59.3% (MW=4.87, P<.000).
    Conclusion: There is an association between family functionality and mild cognitive impairment.

    Abstract With the aim of providing complementary data of the thermodynamics properties of the triangular well potential, the vapor/liquid phase diagrams for such potential with different interaction ranges were calculated in two dimensions by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations; also, the vapor/liquid interfacial tension was calculated. As reported for other interaction potentials, it was observed that the reduction of the dimensionality makes the phase diagram to shrink. Finally, with the aid of reported data for the same potential in three dimensions, it was observed that this potential does not follow the principle of corresponding states.

    Abstract Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease with highly variable presentation, characteristics, and clinical course. Thrombocytopenia is a common complication of many viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2. In addition, both de novo ITP and exacerbation of ITP after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 have been reported. Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop a prothrombotic coagulopathy called COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC). In addition, autoimmune hematological disorders secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection, mainly ITP and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), have been described. Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with exacerbation of autoimmune processes, including ITP. In fact, there is evidence of a high relapse rate in patients with preexisting ITP and COVID-19. As for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, hematological adverse events (HAE) are practically anecdotal. The most common HAE is thrombocytopenia-associated thrombosis syndrome (TTS) linked to vectored virus vaccines. Other HAEs are very rare, but should be considered in patients with previous complement activation disease or autoimmunity. In patients with ITP who are vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, the main complication is exacerbation of ITP and the bleeding that may result. In fact, this complication occurs in 12% of patients, with splenectomized and refractory patients with more than five lines of previous treatment and platelet counts below 50 × 10

    Abstract Worldwide vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has allowed the detection of hematologic autoimmune complications. Adverse events (AEs) of this nature had been previously observed in association with other vaccines. The underlying mechanisms are not totally understood, although mimicry between viral and self-antigens plays a relevant role. It is important to remark that, although the incidence of these AEs is extremely low, their evolution may lead to life-threatening scenarios if treatment is not readily initiated. Hematologic autoimmune AEs have been associated with both mRNA and adenoviral vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. The main reported entities are secondary immune thrombocytopenia, immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Evans syndrome, and a newly described disorder, so-called vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). The hallmark of VITT is the presence of anti-platelet factor 4 autoantibodies able to trigger platelet activation. Patients with VITT present with thrombocytopenia and may develop thrombosis in unusual locations such as cerebral beds. The management of hematologic autoimmune AEs does not differ significantly from that of these disorders in a non-vaccine context, thus addressing autoantibody production and bleeding/thromboembolic risk. This means that clinicians must be aware of their distinctive signs in order to diagnose them and initiate treatment as soon as possible.

    Abstract Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder that causes low platelet counts and subsequent bleeding risk. Although current corticosteroid-based ITP therapies are able to improve platelet counts, up to 70% of subjects with an ITP diagnosis do not achieve a sustained clinical response in the absence of treatment, thus requiring a second-line therapy option as well as additional care to prevent bleeding. Less than 40% of patients treated with thrombopoietin analogs, 60% of those treated with splenectomy, and 20% or fewer of those treated with rituximab or fostamatinib reach sustained remission in the absence of treatment. Therefore, optimizing therapeutic options for ITP management is mandatory. The pathophysiology of ITP is complex and involves several mechanisms that are apparently unrelated. These include the clearance of autoantibody-coated platelets by splenic macrophages or by the complement system, hepatic desialylated platelet destruction, and the inhibition of platelet production from megakaryocytes. The number of pathways involved may challenge treatment, but, at the same time, offer the possibility of unveiling a variety of new targets as the knowledge of the involved mechanisms progresses. The aim of this work, after revising the limitations of the current treatments, is to perform a thorough review of the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, efficacy, safety, and development stage of the novel ITP therapies under investigation. Hopefully, several of the options included herein may allow us to personalize ITP management according to the needs of each patient in the near future.

    Abstract Background: Delays in the initiation of therapy among patients with early stage breast cancer (BC) can negatively affect outcomes. Patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NSC) usually display tumors with high-risk features. Considering these high-risk characteristics and the evidence supporting adverse outcomes associated with delays in adjuvant chemotherapy initiation, we sought to determine whether a delay in NSC initiation is associated with overall survival (OS).
    Methods: We identified patients diagnosed between January 1995 and December 2015 with invasive primary BC (stage I-III) who received NSC at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Patients were categorized according to their time from BC diagnosis to NSC (in days) into three subgroups: 0-30, 31-60, and ≥61 days. Primary endpoint was OS. Descriptive statistics and Cox's proportional hazard models were used.
    Results: A total of 5,137 patients were included. Median follow-up was 6.5 years. The 5-year OS estimates according to time to NSC were 87%, 85%, and 83% in patients who received NSC within 0-30, 31-60, and ≥61 days after diagnosis, respectively (p = .006). In multivariable analysis, compared with time to NSC of 0-30 days, delayed NSC ≥61 days was associated with an increased risk of death (31-60 days: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.05 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-1.19]; ≥61 days, HR = 1.28 [95% CI 1.06-1.54]). In stratified analyses, the association between delay in NSC initiation and increased risk of death was statistically significant for patients with stage I and II BC (31-60 days: HR = 1.22 [95% CI 1.02-1.47]; ≥61 days, HR = 1.41 [95% CI 1.07-1.86]) and among patients with HER2-positive tumors ( ≥61 days, HR = 1.86 [95% CI 1.21-2.86]).
    Conclusion: A delay in NSC initiation of more than 61 days after BC diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of death. Early initiation of NSC should be a priority; multidisciplinary teams must focus on coordination of care and patient-centered, timely treatment planning and delivery.
    Implications for practice: The results of this study showed that a delay in neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy initiation of more than 61 days after breast cancer diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of death; therefore, efforts must focus on early initiation of therapy, which should be a priority. Multidisciplinary teams must enhance coordination of care and patient-centered, timely treatment planning and delivery.

    Abstract Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a complex autoimmune disease whose hallmark is a deregulation of cellular and humoral immunity leading to increased destruction and reduced production of platelets. The heterogeneity of presentation and clinical course hampers personalized approaches for diagnosis and management. In 2021, the Spanish ITP Group (GEPTI) of the Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH) updated a consensus document that had been launched in 2011. The updated guidelines have been the reference for the diagnosis and management of primary ITP in Spain ever since. Nevertheless, the emergence of new tools and strategies makes it advisable to review them again. For this reason, we have updated the main recommendations appropriately. Our aim is to provide a practical tool to facilitate the integral management of all aspects of primary ITP management.
