摘要

Recommended first line treatments for giardiasis include the nitroimidazoles and, recently, nitazoxanide. For refractory cases, a combination of two or more drugs may be a viable approach. A review of 10 patients with giardiasis refractory to nitroimidazoles with response to a short course (< 2 weeks), combined treatment is presented.

Treatment strategies for nitroimidazole-refractory giardiasis: a systematic review

Daniel L. Bourque, Andreas Neumayr, Michael Libman, Lin H. Chen

Summary: This review aims to summarize the literature on pharmacotherapy for nitroimidazole-refractory giardiasis. The included studies demonstrate a heterogeneous approach to treatment, with quinacrine appearing to be highly effective. However, more data on its safety are needed.

Risk factors for and management of metronidazole-refractory giardiasis in international travellers: A retrospective analysis

Tanja E. Peters, Benno Kreuels, Marylyn M. Addo, Egbert Tannich, Camilla Rothe

Summary: This study analyzed 339 cases of returning travellers with confirmed giardiasis between 2007 and 2016 in Hamburg, Germany, finding a significantly higher risk of treatment failure with metronidazole for patients returning from South Asia. Second-line treatment regimens showed inconsistency and unsatisfactory results, suggesting a need for reevaluation of treatment strategies for giardiasis. Prospective trials are urgently needed to assess new first-line treatment options and improve second-line treatment strategies.

Locoregional Failure During and After Short-course Radiotherapy Followed by Chemotherapy and Surgery Compared With Long-course Chemoradiotherapy and Surgery

Esmee A. Dijkstra, Per J. Nilsson, Geke A. P. Hospers, Renu R. Bahadoer, Elma Meershoek-Klein Kranenbarg, Annet G. H. Roodvoets, Hein Putter, Ake Berglund, Andres Cervantes, Rogier M. P. H. Crolla, Mathijs P. Hendriks, Jaume Capdevila, Ibrahim Edhemovic, Corrie A. M. Marijnen, Cornelis J. H. van de Velde, Bengt Glimelius, Boudewijn van Etten, Collaborative Investigators

Summary: This study analyzed the risk and patterns of locoregional failure (LRF) in patients of the RAPIDO trial. The results showed that total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT), while increasing the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR), can still reduce disease-related treatment failure and distant metastases after 5 years.

US Guidelines Fall Short on Short-Course Tuberculosis-Preventive Therapy

Sonya Krishnan, Richard E. Chaisson

Summary: In the global control of tuberculosis, providing tuberculosis-preventive therapy (TPT) to vulnerable populations is crucial. Shorter-course TPT regimens are highly effective and improve completion rates. Despite the inclusion of one month of rifapentine and isoniazid in global guidelines, current US TPT guidelines do not recommend this regimen, but they should.

Timing of rectal cancer surgery after short-course radiotherapy: national database study

Maaike E. Verweij, Jolien Franzen, Wilhelmina M. U. van Grevenstein, Helena M. Verkooijen, Martijn P. W. Intven

Summary: Recent trials have shown that a prolonged interval between short-course radiotherapy (SCRT, 25 Gy in 5 fractions) and surgery for rectal cancer (4-8 weeks, SCRT-delay) leads to lower postoperative complication rate and higher pCR rate. This study using Dutch nationwide real-world data confirmed the higher pCR rate after SCRT-delay compared to SCRT-direct surgery, while no significant difference in postoperative complication rates was observed.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Short-course Pembrolizumab for Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma-The RAPPORT Trial

Shankar Siva, Mathias Bressel, Simon T. Wood, Mark G. Shaw, Sherene Loi, Shahneen K. Sandhu, Ben Tran, Arun A. Azad, Jeremy H. Lewin, Katharine E. Cuff, Howard Y. Liu, Daniel Moon, Jeremy Goad, Lih-Ming Wong, Michael LimJoon, Jennifer Mooi, Sarat Chander, Declan G. Murphy, Nathan Lawrentschuk, David Pryor

Summary: The RAPPORT trial investigated the combination of high-dose precision radiotherapy and a short course of immunotherapy in patients with low-volume metastatic kidney cancer. The results showed that this treatment regimen was well tolerated, with excellent cancer control in known disease sites, and a proportion of patients were free from cancer relapse in the longer term. These findings are encouraging and warrant further investigation.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the impact of weight loss during neoadjuvant therapy on short-term outcomes after esophagectomy. The results showed that weight loss was associated with increased failure to rescue and in-hospital mortality. This highlights the importance of monitoring weight changes during neoadjuvant therapy to assess the risk for subsequent surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between the clinical course of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and long-term outcomes. The findings showed that a more complicated course of POAF was associated with increased long-term risk for heart failure hospitalization but not for all-cause mortality or thromboembolic complications.

Molecular imaging of tumor hypoxia: Evolution of nitroimidazole radiopharmaceuticals and insights for future development

Sweety Mittal, Madhava B. Mallia

Summary: Although evidence supporting dose escalation based on molecular level images of hypoxic tumor sub-volumes is increasing, the concept still requires validation. Molecular imaging of tumor hypoxia using radiopharmaceuticals is crucial for planning Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) to target radioresistant hypoxic tumor cells. The available literature on radiopharmaceuticals for imaging hypoxia is biased towards nitroimidazole, given their ability to undergo oxygen dependent reduction in hypoxic cells. A review on nitroimidazole radiopharmaceuticals would greatly benefit researchers in understanding the current achievements and exploring new approaches for better hypoxia imaging agents.

PTCy, abatacept, and a short course of tacrolimus for GVHD prevention after haploidentical transplantation

A. Samer Al-Homsi, Frank Cirrone, Stephanie Wo, Kelli Cole, Andres Suarez-Londono, Sharon L. Gardner, Jingmei Hsu, Kelsey Stocker, Benedetto Bruno, Judith D. Goldberg, Benjamin A. Levinson, Maher Abdul-Hay

Summary: The combination of PTCy, abatacept, and a short course of tacrolimus (CAST) after haploidentical HSCT is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of grades 2-4 acute GVHD. The study enrolled 46 patients with a median age of 60 years, and the cumulative incidences of grades 2-4 and 3 or 4 acute GVHD were 17.4% and 4.4%, respectively. The CAST regimen also showed favorable outcomes in terms of treatment-related mortality, chronic GVHD rate, relapse rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

Combination of doxycycline, streptomycin and hydroxychloroquine for short-course treatment of brucellosis: a single-blind randomized clinical trial

Mohammad Mahdi Majzoobi, Seyyed Hamid Hashmi, Keyhan Emami, Ali Reza Soltanian

Summary: This study compared the effect of 4-week and 6-week regimens containing hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of brucellosis, and found that both courses were equally effective. No significant differences were observed in treatment response, failure, relapse, and negative 2-ME test between the two groups. Further studies are recommended to support the use of the short-course 4-week regimen for uncomplicated brucellosis treatment.

Summary: This study describes the microbiological, clinical, and epidemiological characteristics of imported rickettsioses in travellers and migrants in Spain. The results show that there were 54 cases of imported rickettsioses from 2009 to 2020, with most patients being male and a median age of 37 years. The most common symptoms were febrile syndrome and cutaneous manifestations. Most diagnoses were confirmed by serology, and only a few cases required hospitalization. This study highlights the importance of considering rickettsial diseases in travellers from high-risk areas who have engaged in risky activities.

Summary: Human papillomavirus can lead to HSILs in the anogenital area, and the microbiome may play a role. HIV-MSM individuals have a high risk of anal cancer, but current screening methods for HSILs lack specificity. This study found that elevated levels of microbiome-encoded proteins were associated with HSILs, and measuring these biomarkers improved the current strategy of anal cancer screening.

Summary: The aim of this study was to describe the mortality rate of non-AIDS-defining cancer (NADC) among people living with HIV (PLWH), compare it with the general population, and assess potential risk factors. The study found that NADC is an important cause of death among PLWH, with an increased risk associated with immunodeficiency, smoking, and coinfections. This highlights the need for early detection and treatment of cancer in this population.
