Fifth-week immunogenicity and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine in patients with multiple myeloma and myeloproliferative malignancies on active treatment: preliminary data from a single institution.

TL;DR: The safety and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine are unknown in hematological patients; both were evaluated prospectively in 42 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and 50 with myeloproliferative malignancies (MPM) (20 chronic myeloid leukemias and 30 myeloperative neoplasms), all of them on active anti-cancer treatment, in comparison with 36 elderly controls not suffering from cancer as mentioned in this paper.

Biofilm Producing Salmonella Typhi: Chronic Colonization and Development of Gallbladder Cancer

TL;DR: Considering the high risk of GC associated with the asymptomatic carrier status, the rapid identification and profiling of biofilm production by S. Typhi strains would be key for effective therapeutic management and cancer prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofilm is a Major Virulence Determinant in Bacterial Colonization of Chronic Skin Ulcers Independently from the Multidrug Resistant Phenotype

TL;DR: It is shown thatBiofilm producers were present in all chronic skin ulcers, suggesting that biofilm represents a key virulence determinant in promoting bacterial persistence and chronicity of ulcerative lesions independently from the MDRO phenotype.

Obesity may hamper SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunogenicity

TL;DR: In this paper, the antibody titre changes in correlation with age, gender and BMI after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine in a group of 248 healthcare workers (HCW) and showed that females, lean and young people have an increased capacity to mount humoral immune responses compared to males, overweight and the older population.
