Park,Melissa M. Cushing,Charles T. Klodell,Ravindra Karanam,Pamela R. Roberts,Cornelius M. Dyke,Eldad A. Hod,Christopher P. Stowell +40 more
TL;DR: The duration of red-cell storage was not associated with significant differences in the change in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score and the transfusion of red cells stored for 21 days or more among patients 12 years of age or older who were undergoing complex cardiac surgery was not found to be superior.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: SARS-CoV-2 viral load results may offer vital prognostic information for patients with and without cancer who are hospitalized with COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an open-label, randomized controlled trial of convalescent plasma for adults with COVID-19 receiving oxygen within 12 d of respiratory symptom onset ( NCT04348656 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of transfusion with granulocytes from G-CSF/dexamethasone–treated donors in neutropenic patients with infection
Thomas H. Price,Michael Boeckh,Michael Boeckh,Ryan W. Harrison,Jeffrey McCullough,Paul M. Ness,Ronald G. Strauss,W. Garrett Nichols,W. Garrett Nichols,Taye H. Hamza,Melissa M. Cushing,Karen E. King,Jo Anne H. Young,Eliot C. Williams,Janice G. McFarland,Jennifer Holter Chakrabarty,Steven R. Sloan,David F. Friedman,Samir Parekh,Bruce S. Sachais,Bruce S. Sachais,Joseph E. Kiss,Susan F. Assmann +22 more
TL;DR: There was no overall effect of granulocyte transfusion on the primary outcome, but because enrollment was half that planned, power to detect a true beneficial effect was low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania major-infected murine langerhans cell-like dendritic cells from susceptible mice release IL-12 after infection and vaccinate against experimental cutaneous Leishmaniasis.
Esther von Stebut,Esther von Stebut,Yasmine Belkaid,Bai V. Nguyen,Melissa M. Cushing,David L. Sacks,Mark C. Udey +6 more
TL;DR: Genetic susceptibility to L. major that results from induction of Th2 predominant immune responses after infection does not appear to reflect failure of skin DC to internalize or respond to parasites, or the inability of BALB / c T cells to mount a Th1 response to DC‐associated Leishmania antigens.
