Prevalence and trends of transfusion transmissible infections among blood donors in Basra, Iraq by Khairallah A S Mohammed, Maha M Hameed, Abdullah H Mousa, Amar T Saleh

“…A total of 197 898 samples were collected and screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis B core (HBc), anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) and syphilis immunologically.Results The prevalence rates of seropositive of viral hepatitis for the year 2019, 2020, 2021 were as following: hepatitis B virus (HBV) rates 1.54%, 1.45% and 1.14% with significant declined trend by 26%; anti-HCV rates were 0.14, 0.12 and 0.11% with significant declined trend by 21.4%; and the syphilis rates were 0.38, 0.47, 0.36 with marked declined trend 5.3%, respectively.Of those donors showed HBV positive, 2503 (1.26%) had positive anti-HBc results, while only 173 (0.0874) showed positive test results for both anti-HBc and HBsAg.Conclusion Prevalence rates of viral hepatitis and syphilis showed a steady decline between 2019 and 2021, and these rates were much lower in Basra than in other parts of Iraq and neighbouring countries. …”

Cyclical Inclusive Growth Model of the European Union by E. V. Sapir, A. D. Vasilchenko

“…The findings reveal that the highest levels of inclusive growth are concentrated in northern and continental European countries, whereas Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) exhibit significantly lower levels. The analysis further uncovers key contradictions, such as the tension between reducing socio-economic inequality and promoting economic growth, the generational conflict over the ‘green economy,’ and the misalignment of interests between smaller and larger EU economies.Despite the initiatives under the 'Europe 2020' strategy, the study observes a shift in the priorities of EU citizens concerning inclusive growth. …”

Predicted indirectly recognizable HLA epitopes scores and clinical outcomes after haploidentical stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients with relapsed neuroblastoma by Eun Seop Seo, Eun Seop Seo, In Hwa Jeong, In Hwa Jeong, Hee Young Ju, Ju Kyung Hyun, Ji Won Lee, Keon Hee Yoo, Won Young Heo, Ki Woong Sung, Hee Won Cho, Eun-Suk Kang

“…IntroductionThe Predicted Indirectly ReCognizable HLA Epitopes (PIRCHE) model is a recently developed algorithm that predicts indirect T-cell recognition by calculating the number of such epitopes in donor-recipient pairs.MethodsIn this study, the clinical significance of PIRCHE was evaluated in pediatric patients with relapsed/progressed neuroblastoma undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT).ResultsA higher PIRCHE-I score was associated with faster platelet recovery (P = 0.007) and lower incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis (13% vs. 41%, P = 0.028) and invasive fungal infections (0% vs. 18%, P = 0.045). …”
