Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research

When formed in vivo, murine hemostatic thrombi exhibit a heterogeneous architecture comprised of distinct regions of densely and sparsely packed platelets. In this study, we utilize high-resolution electron microscopy alongside machine learning and physics-based simulations to investigate how such clot microstructure impacts molecular diffusivity. We used Serial Block Face - Scanning Electron Microscopy (SBF-SEM) to image select volumes of hemostatic masses formed in a mouse jugular vein, producing high-resolution 2D images. Images were segmented using machine learning software (Cellpose), whose training was augmented by manually segmented images. The segmented images were then utilized as 2D computational domains for Lattice Kinetic …

Clinico-Epidemiological Characteristics Of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis In Kenya: A Retrospective Case Series, Taby Siika, Jaskirat Sokhi, Juzar Hooker, Sheila Waa, Anne Mwirigi, Jasmit Shah, Dilraj Sokhi

Internal Medicine, East Africa

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cause of stroke that is more common in young, especially female, adults and can be challenging to diagnose due to its frequently non-specific presentation and diverse risk factors. Most cases are idiopathic, and international guidelines do not recommend routine investigations for underlying thrombophilia. Timely diagnosis, with prompt neuroimaging and guideline-based treatment, leads to good outcomes. However, in the literature on CVST from sub-Saharan Africa, the gap is substantial, with the few cases described as being related to systemic and/or brain infections. We describe here the largest cohort of CVST from the …

Comparison Between Acute Leukemia Screening Tube And Lineage-Specific Panels For The Diagnosis Of Acute Leukemia In Kenya, Nancy Okinda, Geoffrey Omuse, Elizabeth Kagotho, Douglas Munga

Pathology, East Africa

Purpose: Acute leukemia is a group of hematologic malignancies categorized according to the immature cells that proliferate and replace the normal bone marrow. Flow cytometry has emerged as a cornerstone in the diagnosis of hematologic malignancies. Staged analysis with a screening tube containing specific lineage markers determines the need for subsequent testing if there is an abnormal population (blasts). The specific lineage panels to be analyzed are determined depending on the positive markers in the screening tube. This study aimed to determine the agreement of diagnosis using the acute leukemia screening tube (ALST) and the lineage-specific panel.

Methods: This was …

Background: Advances in care have led to improvements in survival for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer; however, the risk of early death remains high for certain cancers, particularly acute leukemias. Risk factors for early death in AYAs diagnosed with acute leukemia have not been well studied.

Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry was used to assess risk of early death (within 2 months of diagnosis) in AYAs diagnosed with acute leukemia (n = 16 153). Early death proportion, by year, for AYAs diagnosed between 2006 and 2020 was described. Associations between incidence of early death …

Complications And Management Of Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease, Kavanya Feustel, Jacob W. Keeling, Olivia Makos, Dmitriy Scherbak

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

The pathophysiology of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is poorly understood compared to the other subtypes of MCD, which has contributed to limited treatment options and poor prognosis for iMCD patients. The pathogenesis of iMCD is thought to be mediated in part by dysregulation of interleukin (IL)-6.

Case Presentation

We present a case report of a 39-year-old Caucasian man with siltuximab-refractory iMCD. He presented with severe lower extremity lymphedema and wounds. His disease progressed through standard-of-care siltuximab. Due to his severe disease-related morbidity, he contracted recurrent infections, often complicated by sepsis. Ultimately, he required a left lower extremity amputation. …

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Association With Epstein-Barr Virus, Amer Aldamouk, Bachr Masri, Ali Khan, Pulkita Uppal

Graduate Medical Education Research Journal

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), also referred to as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, is an acquired form of thrombocytopenia caused by antibodies directed against platelet glycoproteins, particularly anti-GpIIb/IIIa antibodies. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a herpes virus infecting a large majority of the population before adulthood, has been implicated in various immune-mediated disorders, including ITP. In this report, we present a case of a young adult female with a history of thrombocytopenia who was found to have severe thrombocytopenia attributed to chronic EBV infection. Despite initial treatment with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), the patient's condition necessitated second-line therapies, including rituximab and thrombopoietin receptor agonists. …

Cars And Trucks: Driving A Paradigm Shift In Hematologic Malignancies, Christine Charek, Tia Solh

Lynchburg Journal of Medical Science

Hematologic malignancies account for a significant number of annual cancer diagnoses and deaths across the globe. Historically, the prognosis for relapsed and/or refractory disease after standard therapies, such as chemotherapy and/or radiation, was poor. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy offers an additional treatment option. While promising, this type of immunotherapy also comes with potentially severe side effects, toxicities, and limitations. A better understanding of the development, administration, and management of patients undergoing treatment can provide the general clinician with the knowledge to assist within a multidisciplinary team to ultimately improve patient outcomes.

A Challenging Case Of Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Complicated By Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, Christopher Pope, Farah Ashraf, Jacqueline White, Akhilesh Sivakumar, Eric Behling, Tulin Budak-Alpdogan

Cooper Rowan Medical Journal

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is an autosomal recessive disorder and the most common cause of chronic hemolytic anemia secondary to red blood cell (RBC) enzyme defects. Treatment is mainly supportive including splenectomy and transfusions. Mitapivat, an oral allosteric activator of defective pyruvate kinase, was approved by the FDA in February 2022 for treatment of adults with PKD. However, because Mitapivat undergoes liver metabolism, patients must have stable liver profiles prior to initiation of therapy. We present a case of PKD complicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). We initiated steroid therapy for his HLH with the intent to subsequently start Mitapivat. We …

Emerging Technologies Of Single-Cell Multi-Omics, Yi June Kim, Koichi Takahashi

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The heterogeneity of the hematopoietic system was largely veiled by traditional bulk sequencing methods, which measure the averaged signals from mixed cellular populations. In contrast, single-cell sequencing has enabled the direct measurement of individual signals from each cell, significantly enhancing our ability to unveil such heterogeneity. Building on these advances, numerous single-cell multi-omics techniques have been developed into high-throughput, routinely accessible platforms, delineating the precise relationships among different layers of the central dogma in molecular biology. These technologies have uncovered the intricate landscape of genetic clonality and transcriptional heterogeneity in both normal and malignant hematopoietic systems, highlighting their roles in …

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) resides in an immune-rich microenvironment, yet, immune-based therapies have faltered in eliciting durable responses. Bridging this paradox requires a comprehensive understanding of leukemic interactions within the bone marrow microenvironment. We optimized a high-throughput tissue-microarray-based pipeline for high-plex spatial immunofluorescence and mass cytometry imaging on a single slide, capturing immune, tumor, and structural components. Using unbiased clustering on the spatial K function, we unveiled the presence of tertiary lymphoid-like aggregates in bone marrow, which we validated using spatial transcriptomics and an independent proteomics approach. We then found validated TLS signatures predictive of outcomes in AML using an …

Novel Rpl30 Variant In Diamond Blackfan Anemia Demonstrates Early Impact On Erythroid Differentiation With Downregulated Gata1-Hsp70, Alexandra Prosser-Dombrowski, Irina Pushel, Jacqelyn Nemechek, Priyanka Kumar, Jay L. Vivian, Jennifer Gerton, John M. Perry

Research Days

Background: Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome caused by ribosomal protein gene mutations leading to apoptosis of erythroid progenitors. We identified a novel heterozygous variant (c.167+769C>T) in the noncoding region of RPL30 in a patient diagnosed with DBA.

Objectives/Goal: We hypothesized that this variant stunts erythroid differentiation at the proerythroblast stage and is pathogenic for DBA.

Methods/Design: We developed an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) model with a wild type (WT) and three CRISPR-Cas9 edited RPL30 mutant clones. iPSCs were differentiated into hematopoietic stem cells, which were assessed by flow cytometry and single cell …

Inpatient Thrombophilia Workup After Acute Vte: The Tests That Don’T Pay It Forward, Eliakim Munda, Bs, Ruben Rhoades, Md, Ms

Health Equity and Quality Improvement (HEQI) Summit

Background

• Venous thromboembolism is a complex multifactorial disease that is influenced by genetic, environmental and behavioral risk factors.
• Testing for inherited thrombophilia is commonly performed after a VTE event to help identify underlying genetic risk factors and assess the risk of recurrence.
• Despite clinical guidelines advising against thrombophilia testing in patients with acute VTE, these tests continue to be ordered even though lab results are unlikely to alter treatment decisions

Problem Statement

• At TJUH, activity and genetic assays are frequently ordered for patients with acute VTE during admission, increasing the likelihood of false- positive results that may lead to unnecessary …

Altered protein homeostasis through proteasomal degradation of ubiquitinated proteins is a hallmark of many cancers. Ubiquitination, coordinated by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes, involves up to 40 E2-conjugating enzymes in humans to specify substrates and ubiquitin linkages. In a screen for E2 dependencies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 N (UBE2N) emerged as the top candidate. To investigate UBE2N's role in AML, we characterized an enzymatically defective mouse model of UBE2N, revealing UBE2N's requirement in AML without an impact on normal hematopoiesis. Unlike other E2s, which mediate lysine-48 (K48) polyubiquitination and degradation of proteins, UBE2N primarily synthesizes …

Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions of individuals worldwide, and is characterized by both acute, episodic pain and chronic, persistent pain. Despite the significant burden of the disease, clinicians continue to face significant challenges in treating SCD pain due to variability in pain experiences. The objectives of this study were (1) to identify distinct pain subgroups based on demographic and biopsychosocial characteristics and (2) to evaluate the relationship between the subgroups and pain impact - a SCD-disease specific measure of pain interference. To achieve these objectives, we performed a hierarchical cluster analysis on a cross-sectional sample of adults with SCD …

Effect Of Social Determinants Of Health On Clinic Visit Attendance In Patients With Hemophilia, Shailly Gaur Md, Brian Lee Phd, Mph, James Anderst Md, Msci, Katie Foote Lscsw, Lcsw, Osw-C, Andrea Bradley-Ewing Mpa, Ma, Shannon Carpenter Md

Research Days

Background

Social determinants of health (SDOH) create barriers to seeking care regularly, especially for patients with chronic disease. Patients with moderate-severe hemophilia A and B (factor 8 and 9 deficiencies respectively) have a life-long higher risk of bleeding and require chronic therapies. Specialized care is offered through hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs); however, these can be difficult to access for some individuals. Previous SDOH research in this patient population has been limited; therefore, it can be difficult to identify the barriers to care that exist. There is a need to examine SDOH more thoroughly to create patient-directed interventions to improve access …
