    Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a megadose T-cell-depleted graft: harnessing natural and adaptive immunity.

    For patients with high-risk acute leukemia who do not have a matched donor or who urgently need a transplant, transplantation from a full human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype mismatched family donor should be considered a viable option. Clinical trials have shown that a strategy for haploidentical transplantation based on the infusion of high numbers of T-cell– depleted hematopoietic progenitor cells and no post-transplant immunosuppression controls bi-directional T-cell alloreactivity, ie, graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in patients with leukemia. Overall, event-free survival compares favorably with reports of transplants using sources of stem cells other than the matched sibling. This transplant modality has highlighted the crucial role of donor-versus-recipient natural killer cell (NK) alloreactivity in the control of leukemia relapse. Current studies are focusing on rebuilding post-transplant immunity to improve clinical outcomes

    Concetti e categorizzazione dei disturbi mentali. Come la psicologia cognitiva può aiutare la psichiatria

    No full text
    L’ipotesi che guida il presente contributo è che uno dei modi per migliorare l’utilità clinica sia rendere il formato della nosologia quanto più simile possibile al modo in cui i clinici categorizzano i pazienti – cioè fanno diagnosi –, nell’ambito del rispetto dei vincoli di validità e coerenza interna. In psicologia sperimentale ci sono ricerche in corso sul modo di rappresentare concettualmente i disturbi mentali da parte dei clinici (cioè esperti) nella pratica e in contesti di laboratorio. In questo breve articolo ne illustrerò una parte, suggerendo un possibile utilizzo a miglioramento dell’utilità clinica della nosologia psichiatrica corrente

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
