Reporting blast percentage for response assessment in acute leukemias: recommendations from an EHA/ELN expert panel.

Evaluation of bone marrow blast percentage is paramount to response criteria in acute leukemias. There is an identified need within the framework of updated laboratory practices to reduce inconsistencies in methodologies used by clinical laboratories to report blast values and clarify aspects of reporting. Representatives from international specialised working groups including the European Hematology Association (EHA) Diagnosis in Hematological Diseases Specialised Working Group and the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) produced consensus guidance for harmonised blast assessment to define response categories in acute leukemic patients.

Implementation of a digital coordination centre in a hospital: a qualitative evaluation of enablers, barriers and strategies.

Background: Digital Coordination Centres (DCCs) represent an innovative approach in hospital settings, designed to enhance patient flow, operational efficiency, and real-time decision-making. While their potential is widely recognised, there is limited understanding of the factors influencing their implementation. This study evaluated the implementation of a DCC in a large Australian hospital, with a focus on identifying enablers, barriers, and strategies for improvement.

Navigating the Mohs Fellowship Match: What Applicants Value in Programs and Their Perceptions Regarding Fellowship Directors Preferences.

Background: The current Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology (MSDO) fellowship match process requires applicants and fellowship directors to rank each other with limited information. Fellowship directors receive standardized information about applicants, but applicants lack comparable program data.

Objective: To determine how MSDO applicants learn about fellowship programs, and what program characteristics influence their rank list decisions.

Impact of pulmonary rehabilitation programme design on effectiveness in COPD: a systematic review and component network meta-analysis.

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) recommended by all guidelines. However, programmes vary widely and the optimal combination of components to maximise benefits and efficiency remains unknown. We aimed to use the novel technique of component network meta-analysis (cNMA) to investigate the relative contribution of 1) exercise modality and intensity, 2) non-exercise components, 3) type of supervision, and 4) programme duration of PR for people with COPD.

Secondhand E-cigarette and Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Stages of E-cigarette Use in U.S 6th-12th Graders.

Introduction: Studies examining the association of secondhand exposures with e-cigarette use behaviors have been limited by indirect or incomplete measures of exposure. This study reports the prevalence of secondhand e-cigarette and tobacco smoke exposure among U.S youth and examines how robust measures of secondhand exposure correlate with e-cigarette susceptibility, ever use, daily use, and quit attempts.
