However, at 32weeks of gestation and at the time of diagnosis, the gamma-chain concentration in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.05). At 32weeks of gestation and at the time of diagnosis, the AUCs from ROC curve analysis of plasma fibrinogen gamma-chain concentrations were 0.64 and 0.71, respectively.
 
  Plasma fibrinogen synthesis and degradation were disrupted in preeclampsia patients before and after diagnosis, and gamma-chain concentration was significantly increased. Plasma fibrinogen gamma chain may be of some value in preeclampsia prediction and auxiliary diagnosis.

  Collection of a large number of early hematopoietic progenitors is essential for allogeneic apheresis products intended for TCR-alpha/beta depletion.
 
  We added plerixafor 0.24 mg/kg body weight (bw) on day 4 of high-dose filgrastim mobilization 10 hours prior to apheresis in 16 (30.5%) pediatric allogeneic donors who failed to recover a sufficient number of CD34+ cells.
 
  On day 4 of G-CSF, the median CD34+ cell count in peripheral blood was 6 per μL (range 4-9 per μL) in 6 poor mobilizers and 16 per μL (range 12-19 per μL) in insufficient mobilizers. In all donors, the threshold of 50 CD34+ cells/μL was achieved, and the median increase was 14.8-fold in poor mobilizers and 6.5-fold in insufficient mobilizers, whereas it was 3.45-fold increase in those mobilized with G-CSF alone.
 
  In all donors, a predefined number of >10 × 10
  CD34+ cells/kg of recipient bw before depletion was reached in the apheresis product. The use of plerixafor did not affect the purity of further TCR-alpha/beta depletion. Side effects were mild to moderate and consisted of nausea and vomiting.
 
  Thus, the safety and high efficacy of plerixafor was proven in healthy pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic cell donors.

  The goal of this study was to evaluate how rural/urban status and other risk factors alter women's odds of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) at delivery.
 
  This study used 48,608 Kentucky resident delivery hospitalization records from 2017. We used multiple logistic regression with interaction terms to evaluate the moderating effect of rural/urban residence with other risk factors. We reported adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as measures for association with the outcome of SMM at delivery.
 
  The percentage of delivery hospitalizations with SMM was higher for women with rural (2.4%) versus metro (1.1%) or metro-adjacent (1.5%) residence (p < .001). Rural status moderated the effect of anemia on SMM. The aOR for SMM for women with anemia versus those without was 8.56 (CI 4.89-14.97) in rural areas, two times higher than in metro areas (aOR 3.87; CI 3.09-4.86). Kentucky Appalachian region (aOR 1.90; CI 1.46-2.47), Black race (aOR 1.30; CI 1.02-1.66), history of cesarean section (aOR 1.28; CI 1.07-1.52), hypertension (aOR 10.55; CI 5.67-19.62), and opioid use (aOR 1.72; CI 1.19-2.47) were significantly associated with SMM.
 
  Rural women in Kentucky are at an increased risk for SMM. Quality and safety programming should specifically address the needs of isolated subpopulations. Women living in rural areas are more likely to experience SMM given an anemia diagnosis. The underlying cause and clinical management of anemia may differ between rural and urban areas.

  Nationally representative studies of the combined impact of drinking and body mass (BMI) on mortality outcomes are unavailable. We investigate whether both act together to elevate risk of all-cause or liver mortality.
 
  We obtained self-reported histories of drinking and BMI from 129 098 women (mean age 47.2 years) and 102 568 men (mean age 45.6 years) ≥18 years interviewed from 1997 to 2004 in the National Health Interview Survey and related these data to the deaths that occurred by 31 December 2006 (women = 8486; men = 7819 deaths). Death hazards among current drinkers in different BMI groups were adjusted for age, education, race and smoking.
 
  Obese (≥30 kg m
  ) adults with consumption of >40 g day
  (women) or >60 g day
  (men) pure ethanol were at risk of increased mortality from all-cause and chronic liver disease (P trend <0.0001). For heavy drinkers with BMI ≥30 kg m
  , each 5 kg m
  higher BMI was associated with an elevated all-cause mortality in men (hazard ratios 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-1.40) and women (1.12, [1.02-1.24]). The excess risk due to interaction was more pronounced in men (7.30, [3.60-11.00]) than women (2.90, [0.50-5.30]).
 
  Obesity and excess alcohol are both related to all-cause and liver mortality-the latter with evidence of a supra-additive interaction between the risk factors. The presence of both factors in the same population and their impact should inform treatment, public health policies and research.

Prolonged acneiform eruptions treated with topical corticosteroids, a standard management, may be associated with secondary bacterial infections, thus there is a need for new treatments. We conducted a multicenter, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical benzoyl peroxide for epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor-induced prolonged acneiform eruptions. Patients with colorectal, non-small lung cell, and head and neck cancers who received epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors for >10 weeks and had persistent acneiform eruptions were eligible. Topical benzoyl peroxide was applied to the affected area of the face once daily for 8 weeks; a clinical evaluation was performed every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was a change in acneiform eruption severity evaluated between disease onset and end of the treatment period.
