TL;DR: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is found to be a prognostic biomarker of disease severity and organ failure and broad innate and adaptive leukocyte perturbations that distinguish dysregulated host responses in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and warrant therapeutic investigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that CD8 T cell responses to vaccination might provide protection in patients with hematologic cancer even in the setting of limited humoral responses, including those treated with anti-CD20 therapy.

TL;DR: Broad immune perturbations spanning both innate and adaptive leukocytes that distinguish dysregulated host responses in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and warrant therapeutic investigation are demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that patients with hematologic cancers had a significantly higher mortality relative to patients with solid cancers after accounting for confounders including ECOG performance status and active cancer status.

TL;DR: Vancomycin + piperacillin-tazobactam was associated with increased acute kidney injury (AKI) risk as mentioned in this paper , but it is unclear whether the association represents true injury or a pseudotoxicity characterized by isolated effects on creatinine secretion.
