Recently, several publications reported on coronavirus disease 2019-associated pulmonary aspergillosis. However, risk factors remain unclear. We retrospectively collected all the cases of coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (n = 46) admitted to our 34-bed ICU between March 24, 2020, and May 25, 2020, and identified six patients that met the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis according to previously established definitions. This population exhibited higher severity scores at admission and less hospital discharge compared with noninvasive pulmonary aspergillosis patients. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, malnutrition, and systemic corticosteroid use were identified as risk factors for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in coronavirus disease 2019-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome patients. Coronavirus disease 2019-associated pulmonary aspergillosis may be a serious concern regarding corticosteroids use to control the inflammatory response of coronavirus disease 2019-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.
  The tumor microenvironment plays a major tumor-supportive role in glioma. In particular, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which can make up to one-third of the tumor mass, actively support tumor growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. Predominantly alternatively activated (M2-polarized) TAMs are found in late-stage glioma in both human and mouse tumors, as well as in relapse samples from patients. However, whether tumor-educated M2 TAMs can actively contribute to the emergence and growth of relapse is currently debated.
 
  To investigate whether tumor-educated stromal cells remaining in the brain after surgical removal of the primary tumor can be long-lived and retain their tumor-supporting function, we developed a transplantation mouse model and performed lineage-tracing.
 
  We discovered that macrophages can survive transplantation and stay present in the tumor much longer than previously suggested, while sustaining an M2-polarized protumorigenic phenotype.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tpen.html  Transplanted tumors showed a more aggressive growth and faster polarization of the TAMs toward an M2 phenotype compared with primary tumors, a process dependent on the presence of few cotransplanted macrophages.
 
  Overall, we propose a new way for tumor-educated TAMs to contribute to glioma aggressiveness by long survival and stable protumorigenic features. These properties could have a relapse-supporting effect.

Standard therapy for GBM includes surgical resection, radiation, and temozolomide. Recently, anesthetics and analgesics have received attention for their potential involvement in mediating tumor growth. This narrative review investigated whether various members of the 2 aforementioned classes of drugs have a definitive impact on GBM progression by summarizing pertinent in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Recent publications regarding general anesthetics have been inconsistent, showing that they can be pro-tumoral or antitumoral depending on the experimental context. The local anesthetic lidocaine has shown consistent antitumoral effects in vitro. Clinical studies looking at anesthetics have not concluded that their use improves patient outcomes. In vitro and in vivo studies looking at opioid involvement in GBM have demonstrated inconsistent findings regarding whether these drugs are pro-tumoral or antitumoral. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and specifically COX-2 inhibitors, have shown inconsistent findings across multiple studies looking at whether they are beneficial in halting GBM progression. Until multiple repeatable studies show that anesthetics and analgesics can suppress GBM growth, there is no strong evidence to recommend changes in the anesthetic care of these patients.
  Oligodendroglioma is genetically defined by concomitant IDH (
  ) mutation and whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Codeletion of 1p/19q traditionally evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) cannot distinguish partial from whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Partial 1p/19q codeletion called positive by FISH is diagnostically a "false-positive" result. Chromosomal microarray (CMA) discriminates partial from whole-arm 1p/19q codeletion. Herein, we aimed to estimate the frequency of partial 1p/19q codeletion that would lead to a false-positive FISH result.
 
  FISH 1p/19q codeletion test probe coordinates were mapped onto Oncoscan CMA data to determine the rate of partial 1p/19q codeletion predicted to be positive by FISH. Diffuse astrocytic gliomas with available CMA data (2015-2018) were evaluated and classified based on IDH1-R132H/ATRX/p53 immunohistochemistry, IDH/
  promoter targeted sequencing, and/or CMA according to classification updates. Predicted false-positive cases were verified by FISH whenever possible.
 
  The overall estimated false-positive FISH 1p/19q codeletion rate was 3.6% (8/223). Predicted false positives were verified by FISH in 6 (of 8) cases. False-positive rates did not differ significantly (
  = .49) between IDH-mutant (4.6%; 4/86) and IDH-wildtype (2.9%; 4/137) tumors. IDH-wildtype false positives were all WHO grade IV, whereas IDH-mutant false positives spanned WHO grades II-IV. Testing for 1p/19q codeletion would not have been indicated for most false positives based on current classification recommendations.
 
  Selective 1p/19q codeletion testing and cautious interpretation for conflicting FISH and histopathological findings are recommended to avoid potential misdiagnosis.
