Amplicon sequencing is a popular method for understanding the diversity of bacterial communities in samples containing multiple organisms as exemplified by 16S rRNA sequencing. Another application of amplicon sequencing includes multiplexing both primer sets and samples, allowing sequencing of multiple targets in multiple samples in the same sequencing run. Multiple tools exist to process the amplicon sequencing data produced via the short-read Illumina platform, but there are fewer options for long-read Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing, or for processing data from environmental surveillance or other sources with many different organisms.

Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.

Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.

The timing of cryptorchidism surgery: analysis of the contradiction between guideline consensus and clinical practice implementation.

September 2025

Department of Urology Children's Hospital, Chongqing Medical University, Room 806, Kejiao Building (NO.6), No.136, Zhongshan 2nd Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400014, China.

Cryptorchidism is one of the most common reproductive malformations in children, and the timing of surgery significantly impacts fertility and the risk of testicular cancer. Although international guidelines currently recommend testicular fixation within 6-18 months to improve prognosis, many children worldwide undergo surgery later than the recommended age. Delays in surgery are particularly significant in developing countries.

Overcoming barriers to referral for CAR T-cell therapy in patients with non-Hodgkin aggressive B-cell lymphomas: A Delphi consensus.

IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Istituto di Ematologia "Seràgnoli", Bologna, Italy; Dipartimento di Scienze Mediche e Chirurgiche, Università di Bologna, Bologna, Italy. Electronic address:

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Despite its transformative potential, significant challenges persist in optimizing patient identification and referral pathways to ensure timely and equitable access. This expert consensus, developed through the Delphi methodology, analyzes key barriers to the referral process and proposes structured solutions to enhance collaboration between referring treatment centers (RTCs) and qualified treatment centers (QTCs).

Sonazoid, a combined blood pool and Kupffer-cell agent, can be specifically phagocytosed by Kupffer cells in the liver, allowing lesion detection and characterization of focal liver lesions (FLLs) at the post-vascular phase apart from the vascular phase which is similar to that of other second-generation US contrast agents. Sonazoid CEUS is currently approved for use in some Asian countries. With the increasing use of Sonazoid CEUS for FLLs in clinical practice, developing consensus or guidelines to help standardize its use is required.
