TL;DR: The most common and significant complications are respiratory and renal failure and failure to recognize and treat ACS is inevitably fatal.

TL;DR: It is proposed to be defined as possible, probable, or proven on the basis of sample validity and thus diagnostic certainty, and recommended first-line therapy is either voriconazole or isavuconazole, while azole resistance is a concern.
Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 causes direct damage to the airway epithelium, enabling aspergillus invasion. Reports of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis have raised concerns about it worsening the disease course of COVID-19 and increasing mortality. Additionally, the first cases of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis caused by azole-resistant aspergillus have been reported. This article constitutes a consensus statement on defining and managing COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis, prepared by experts and endorsed by medical mycology societies. COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis is proposed to be defined as possible, probable, or proven on the basis of sample validity and thus diagnostic certainty. Recommended first-line therapy is either voriconazole or isavuconazole. If azole resistance is a concern, then liposomal amphotericin B is the drug of choice. Our aim is to provide definitions for clinical research and up-to-date recommendations for clinical management of the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

TL;DR: Clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) is detected using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies to identify common deleted regions with genes previously associated with hematological cancers.
Abstract: We detected clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies. This detection method requires a relatively high frequency of cells with the same abnormal karyotype (>5-10%; presumably of clonal origin) in the presence of normal cells. The frequency of detectable clonal mosaicism in peripheral blood is low (<0.5%) from birth until 50 years of age, after which it rapidly rises to 2-3% in the elderly. Many of the mosaic anomalies are characteristic of those found in hematological cancers and identify common deleted regions with genes previously associated with these cancers. Although only 3% of subjects with detectable clonal mosaicism had any record of hematological cancer before DNA sampling, those without a previous diagnosis have an estimated tenfold higher risk of a subsequent hematological cancer (95% confidence interval = 6-18).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The authors designed a treatment to systematically increase exposure to positive activities, and thereby improve affect and corresponding cognitions and provides the treatment in manual form to be utilized by patients in therapy.
Abstract: The brief behavioral activation treatment for depression is a simple, cost-effective method for treating depression Based on basic behavioral theory and recent evidence that the behavioral component may be the active mechanism of change in cognitive-behavioral treatments of clinical depression, the authors designed a treatment to systematically increase exposure to positive activities, and thereby improve affect and corresponding cognitions This article describes the rationale for the treatment and provides the treatment in manual form to be utilized by patients in therapy

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is shown that HER2 enhances the expression of CXCR4, which is required for HER2-mediated invasion in vitro and lung metastasis in vivo, and this work establishes a functional link between HER2 and CX CR4 signaling pathways.
