  1. Iron Metabolism in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

    -5 J

    Iron Metabolism in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

    In this episode of EHA Unplugged, Prof Kirsten Grønbæk and our guests Prof Yelena Ginzburg and Prof Amit Verma discuss iron metabolism and its role in erythropoiesis in MDS. The experts share their views on the management of iron overload in the transfusion-dependent patients with MDS, as they acknowledge that it poses a real challenge in their clinical practice. Starting from the criteria used to select patients for iron chelation and then discussing its beneficial effects and limitations, the podcast guests formulate clear thoughts on the role of this therapy in both low- and high-risk MDS. They then clarify recent scientific insights into the putative mechanisms that may link iron overload with the ineffective erythropoiesis. Please tune in to hear about the data from a mouse model pointing to the role of iron transport in erythroblast function and differentiation (please also see the Reference). You will also hear what direction the future research into the mechanism of the communication between ineffective erythropoiesis and iron metabolism may take.

  2. First-line Treatment of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) (EHA2024)

    First-line Treatment of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) (EHA2024)

    In this podcast, Dr Elisabeth Schorb from University Medical Center in Freiburg, Germany, discusses the first-line treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), which has seen tremendous advances in the last years. PCNSL is a rare condition, and because of its location prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are of the essence. As for other hematological diseases, treatment of PCNSL today is based on two pillars: induction treatment and consolidation treatment. Listen to Dr Schrob describe her clinical experience and contributions to the international clinical trials that have shifted PCNSL prognosis from a disease with short life-expectancy if left untreated to a curable disease. And get inspired by Dr Schorb’s appeal to “stay tuned, stay in touch because your investigator-initiated ideas can make all the difference”.  Guest: Dr Elisabeth Schorb This episode is part of a series of lectures recorded at the EHA congress in Madrid in June 2024. This podcast containing accompanying slide content is available as a video on Spotify, YouTube, and EHA Campus. More lectures will be available in the future. Stay tuned!

    Optimizing Global Care for Women with von Willebrand Disease (VWD) (EHA2024)

    With the increasing scrutiny of healthcare pathways for women, this podcast provides a timely plea by Dr Michelle Lavin from St. James’s Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, to optimize global care for women with von Willebrand disease (VWD). In this podcast, Dr Lavin gives a passionate appeal for more international collaboration and increased awareness to improve care for women and girls suffering from bleeding disorders. As challenges facing women with these disorders are multiple, including diagnostic inequalities and suboptimal treatments, the solutions are also multi-factorial. Listen to dr. Lavin give her recommendations to provide the best possible care, based on the findings from the Annual Global Survey of the World Federation of Hemophilia, World Bleeding Disorder Registry and other data. In Dr Lavin’s own words: “there's momentum behind Women's Health”, so tune in to participate.  Guest: Dr Michelle Lavin This episode is part of a series of lectures recorded at the EHA congress in Madrid in June 2024. This podcast containing accompanying slide content is available as a video on Spotify, YouTube, and EHA Campus. More lectures will be available in the future. Stay tuned!

  4. Iron and Infections: Back to the Future (EHA2024)

    Iron and Infections: Back to the Future (EHA2024)

    In this lecture from EHA2024, Prof Domenico Girelli from University of Verona, Italy, discusses the complex relationship between iron metabolism and infection. As an essential element for physiology of all living organisms, iron is involved in many vital processes, including our immune responses to infections. Since the pathogens themselves also depend on iron to survive, the resulting host/pathogen “battle” for iron is one of the key determinants of outcomes of most infectious diseases. Interestingly, this dependence of pathogens on iron may offer a much-needed solution for multidrug resistance (MDR) of microbes, which poses a significant and growing challenge for the global healthcare. Tune in, to hear about the novel “metallo-antibiotics” and other clinical developments based on accumulating data about role of iron in infections.  Guest: Prof Domenico Girelli This episode is part of a series of lectures recorded at the EHA congress in Madrid in June 2024.

  5. Long-term Outcomes in the Chemo-free era for Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (EHA2024)

    Long-term Outcomes in the Chemo-free era for Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (EHA2024)

    Join us for an insightful lecture by Prof Maria Teresa Voso from University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy, as she discusses the advances in the treatment of a rare subtype of AML, the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). As the PML::RARA rearrangement, resulting in a fusion protein that disrupts retinoic acid signaling and PML function, is the hallmark driver of APL, it is used as target for APL treatment. Listen to Prof Voso as she talks about the scientific developments leading to significant improvements in clinical outcomes for patients with APL and the role of ATRA / ATO therapy, which combines all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). Prof Voso highlights contributions of the late prof. Francesco Lo Coco, the significance of the EU-wide HARMONY registry and other collaborative efforts in establishing the optimal treatment regimens for APL. This podcast also provides insights into remaining open issues in the clinical management of APL, including high-risk APL for which the results of the much-anticipated APOLLO trial may provide some answers.  This is part of a series of lectures recorded at the EHA congress in Madrid in June 2024. The podcasts in this series are better consumed in video form because of the accompanying slide content. More lectures will be available in the future. Stay tuned!

  6. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP): Is plasmapheresis history?

    Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP): Is plasmapheresis history?

    Join us for this engaging debate on the future of acquired TTP (aTTP) treatment chaired by Dr. Eleni Gavriilaki from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. This discussion features Prof. Marie Scully from University College London Hospital in UK and Prof. Paul Coppo from Saint-Antoine Hospital in Paris, France. The debate centers on whether therapeutic plasma exchange (PEX) combined with immunosuppression, long considered the standard treatment for acute aTTP episodes, has become obsolete with the advent of new therapies.     First Prof. Scully argues that plasmapheresis is indeed a thing of the past, citing its complexity and inherent safety concerns. Prof Scully predicts that the best alternative option will incorporate the use of recombinant ADAMTS13, caplacizumab and immunosuppression primarily with steroids and anti-CD-20 therapy.    In contrast, Prof Coppo argues that a PEX-free strategy cannot be universally applied to all aTTP patients, regardless of clinical presentation and severity because there is insufficient data yet to support this approach, the availability of caplacizumab is not guaranteed.    Tune in for this debate to hear further our experts’ views on the impact of treatment costs on availability and clinical decision making.     Guests: Dr Eleni Gavriilaki  Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece    Prof Marie Scully University College London, UCLH, London, UK    Prof Paul Coppo Sorbonne University and Saint-Antoine Hospital, Paris, France   Learn More  What did you think of this podcast?
