Predictive factors of thrombosis during autologous stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma: Experience from EHU Oran (Algeria) by Mohammed Amine BEKADJA, Brahim BENZINEB, Mansour BELKACEM, Hafida OUDJERIOUAT, Badra ENTASOLTAN, Soufi OSMANI, Kamila AMANI, Samira BOUCHAMA, Leila CHAREF, Mohamed BRAHIMI, Abdessamad ARABI, Rachir Amar BOUHASS, Nabil YAFOUR

“…The associative factors found in univariate analysis in our study are the use of IMiDs (p = 0,0006), the femoral KTC insertion site (p = 0,021) and its duration (p = 0,018), the level of G-CSG≥ 15μg/kg (0,014) during HSC mobilization and aplastic phase, the number of perfused CD34 +> 5x106/kg (p = 0,035) and prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)(p = 0,029).In multivariate analysis, only the absence of LMWH prophylaxis was an independent predictor of thrombosis (p=0.001). Conclusion-Despite the similarity of the overall incidence of thrombosis with the literature, its prophylaxis with LMWHs was the only independent factor of its risk in Algeria, which would have restricted it in daily practice of autografts in multiple myeloma. …”

SF1-specific deletion of the energy sensor AMPKγ2 induces obesity by Óscar Freire-Agulleiro, Ánxela Estévez-Salguero, Vitor Ferreira, Cassie Lynn Holleman, Julia García-Currás, Ismael González-García, Rubén Nogueiras, Manuel Tena-Sempere, Cristina García-Cáceres, Carlos Diéguez, Miguel López

“…Results: Our findings reveal that, in contrast to the obesity-protective effect of the genetic deletion of AMPKα subunits, the loss of AMPKγ2 in SF1 neurons leads to a sex-independent and feeding-independent obesity-prone phenotype due to decreased thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) and reduced browning of WAT, resulting in lower energy expenditure. …”
