In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Haris Sohail and Lucas Kühne on their latest articles published in volume 147 issue 21 of Blood. In this CME article titled, "Retrospective, Real-World Study of IV Iron Use to Treat Iron deficiency Anemia During Acute Infection", Sohail et al show that IV iron given during acute infection with iron deficiency anemia is associated with improved 14-day and 90-day survival as well as hemoglobin recovery. Although this report has the limitations of a retrospective study, these findings challenge current practice and support randomized trials that include patients with infection. In "Revisiting Clinical Response and Refractoriness in Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura", Kühne et al show in a multicenter registry study of 204 patients that refractoriness during caplacizumab treatment in immune TTP is uncommon and, when observed, is typically associated with confounding clinical factors. These findings underscore the importance of careful clinical reassessment and evaluation for alternative etiologies in patients with delayed platelet recovery, rather than attributing such cases to true treatment resistance.
What if the way back to health isn't found in fighting harder… but in reconnecting with nature? After being diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma, Dean Hall made a decision that left even his doctors shaking their heads. He swam 187 miles of Oregon's longest river. He embraced a practice known as forest bathing. Today, Dean is in remission! Coincidence? Conviction? Or is there more to this story? In this week's episode, Autumn and Dean explore a radically different conversation about healing, purpose, grief, the nervous system, and our relationship with the natural world God created. This conversation may completely change the way you think about striving for health, supporting the body's ability to heal, and God's fingerprints woven throughout creation.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laura Michaelis interviews Drs. Kirsty Hillier and Marco Ruella on their latest articles published in Blood. For "Predicting Development of Pediatric Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia at Disease Onset Using a Statistical Risk Model", Dr. Hillier shares the potential benefits of incorporating this new model to enhance the care of the 1 in 4 patients who develop chronic ITP. As an alternative to current guidelines which advise providers to "wait and see", this online model determines patients who are at risk for chronic ITP, allowing for providers to make informed decisions on their continued care. In "Harnessing the CD2 axis to broaden and enhance the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapies", Dr. Ruella explains how the treatment of T-cell neoplasms is limited by a lack of discriminating T-cell antigens that allow for effective antitumor responses while preventing CAR T-cell fratricide. The team found that CD2 was a viable target, especially combined with a novel PD-1:CD2 switch receptor to remedy dysfunction caused by CD2 deletion.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Heinz Zoller and Raul Ribeiro on their latest articles published in Blood. Dr. Zoller discusses "Ferric Carboxymaltose Increases Fracture Risk in Patients and Reduces Bone Formation in Mice with Iron Deficiency Anemia", and how these findings support consideration of alternative IV iron formulations that provide similar efficacy without risk of skeletal complications. Dr. Ribeiro discusses "A low-versus standard-dose regimen an induction for AML: a multicenter, randomized noninferiority trial" and how the low-dose regimen is associated with fewer toxicities, faster hematologic recovery, and reduced health care costs, suggesting a feasible treatment strategy for resource-limited settings.
In today's episode, we spoke with Courtney D. DiNardo, MD, MSCE, a professor in the Department of Leukemia in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and an associate member of The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Houston.In our exclusive interview, Dr DiNardo discussed the May 2026 FDA approval of decitabine (Dacogen) and cedazuridine (Inqovi) plus venetoclax (Venclexta) in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DiNardo outlined numerous important facets of the approval, including its effects on the treatment paradigm, which patients will benefit most, safety considerations with the regimen, and quality of life advantages that have been observed with the combination. Furthermore, she discussed how this approval fits into a larger shift for the AML treatment paradigm and how the AML research field can build upon the approval of this regimen.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laurie Sehn interviews Drs. Everett Meyer and Olivier Hermine on their latest articles published in volume 147 issue 11 of Blood. Dr. Everett Meyer discusses "Orca-T vs allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PRECISION-T): a multicenter, randomized phase 3 trial" which demonstrated that Orca-T showed superior chronic GVHD–free survival compared to the control arm (78.0% vs 38.4%, P < .001) and lower nonrelapse mortality (3.4% vs 13.2%, P = .03). Dr. Olivier Hermine shares insights from "VEXAS anemia is a mosaic erythroblastopenia" which proposes that VEXAS syndrome–associated anemia should be considered as a mosaic erythroblastopenia, in which the severity of anemia is influenced by the quality and quantity of the UBA1–wild-type compartment.

During Alisha Harper's pregnancy, she was told that there was a 60 percent chance that her son would be born with Down Syndrome. That statement turned out to be a correct one as Chase was born in December of 2016 with this illness and by the time Chase was 4 years old, Alisha saw that his Down Syndrome was manageable. One month after feeling as good as possible about how Chase was doing, he developed a body rash which turned out to be a symptom of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Despite having this 1-2 punch thrown at him, Chase is doing well as he is now 9 years old and living his best life possible.

What if your body already has everything it needs to heal and unresolved trauma is the only thing standing in the way?In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Peter McLaughlin, a certified hypnotherapist who put his chronic lymphocytic leukemia into remission in 2003, without chemotherapy. Peter's journey began in the wreckage of a life running on pure adrenaline: a demanding Wall Street career, a two-hour daily commute, three young children, and an office one block from Ground Zero on September 11th. When his body finally gave out, his leukemia diagnosis became the catalyst that set him on a path toward subconscious healing, hypnotherapy, and a complete understanding of the mind-body connection.Together, Peter and Dr. Stephanie explore one of the most overlooked truths in chronic illness: that emotional trauma, including small, seemingly insignificant moments from childhood, gets stored in the subconscious mind and continues to drive the body's stress response for decades. Because the subconscious has no concept of time, a humiliating moment in third grade or a cry left unanswered in a crib can still be activating a fight-or-flight response in your body today. This chronic activation of the autonomic nervous system suppresses immunity, disrupts hormones, stalls digestion, and creates the environment in which disease takes root.Dr. Stephanie also shares her own healing journey from a Lyme disease and Bartonella infection that attacked her nervous system and went undiagnosed for over a decade, to the functional medicine interventions, precious metal IVs, and reconnection with her body's inner wisdom that finally brought her back. Together they connect the dots between nervous system dysregulation, frequency medicine, and the extraordinary capacity of the human body to heal when given the right tools.✦ In this episode:• How chronic stress and emotional trauma directly contribute to serious illness• Why childhood events your conscious mind has "forgotten" are still running your nervous system• What hypnotherapy actually does and how it clears emotional toxins from the subconscious• Why you cannot heal in fight-or-flight mode and how to shift into rest-and-digest• How cortisol signals your body to hold onto fat• 432 Hz healing music, binaural beats, and frequencies that regulate the nervous system• Applied kinesiology, muscle testing, and pendulum work as tools for inner wisdom• Peter's work with professional athletes and how childhood trauma shows up on the field• Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) and their role in healing chronic infection• The placebo effect as proof of the mind's power to heal the body✦ Find Peter McLaughlin:Website & healing tracks: blueskyhypnosis.comYouTube: @blueskyhypnosis✦ About Dr. Stephanie Canestraro:Dr. Stephanie is a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and chronic illness survivor.

This accredited continuing education program is supported by an educational grant from Blueprint Medicine. It provides timely and practical education on systemic mastocytosis (SM). To obtain CME credit, visit https://checkrare.com/learning/p-systemic-mastocytosis-recognition-diagnosis-and-clinical-management/SM is a rare, chronic disorder driven by aberrant mast cell accumulation across multiple organ systems. Although diagnostic criteria are well established, a recent natural history study found that the average time to diagnosis is nearly five years. This prolonged delay—largely due to limited awareness of SM and its early symptoms—often results in unnecessary disease progression and inappropriate treatment. To address this clinical gap, this activity, led by Daniel J. DeAngelo, MD, PhD, Chief, Division of Leukemia at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, in Boston, MA, provides an overview of the early signs and symptoms of SM, outlines the appropriate diagnostic criteria and tools, and reinforces the importance of timely referral and testing for these patients to be properly managed. Led by a clinical expert with experience diagnosing and treating patients with SM, this 45-minute CME program will highlight early signs of SM, outline diagnostic criteria and tools, and reinforce the importance of timely referral/testing.

I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States. There are no words to describe how ecstatic I am to welcome back Ethan Zohn for a third time! Ethan became a household name when he first appeared on Survivor: Africa, the third season of the legendary US reality TV competition. He won seven challenges and the title of “Sole Survivor.” He appeared on Survivor: All-Stars, where he won four challenges but lasted only 21 days, and returned to compete in the milestone season Survivor: Winners at War, where he only won one challenge and lasted 35 days. Since Survivor, Ethan has become an influential social entrepreneur. With a portion of his Survivor: Africa winnings, he co-founded Grassroot Soccer (GRS). GRS is an adolescent health organization that harnesses the power of soccer to provide young people with the essential information, services, and mentorship they need to lead healthier lives. Since its inception, GRS has expanded to 60 countries in Africa and worldwide, has graduated 13 million youth, and has worked with scores of public—and private-sector partners. He also raised his voice to fight cancer. Cancer-free since 2012, Ethan Zohn has been a voice for fighters, survivors, and caregivers of all ages, even chronicling the gritty details of his entire cancer experience for People Magazine. While undergoing treatment, he ran and finished the New York City and Boston marathons to help spread messages of hope and resilience to the world. Ethan is a champion for investment in new medical research and technology. He is an advisor to numerous hospitals and foundations, such as Cancer Buddy, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Memorial Sloan Kettering. As demonstrated by his charitable work, tzedakah, and community involvement, Ethan believes that Jewish values can achieve a better and healthier world. His inspiration to help heal the world stems from being taught at an early age the importance of community, a connection to the Jewish faith, and the preservation of Israel. Ethan shares his deep bond to Judaism, his connection to the Jewish community, and his relationship with Israel by partnering with Jewish organizations that do critical work worldwide, such as BBYO, the Jewish National Fund, and Maccabi USA. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Ethan Zohn gave his take on Survivor 50, previews Grassroot Soccer's 25th anniversary, and how Grassroot Soccer is going to play a role with the World Cup coming to North America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Francesco Forconi and Bin Guo on their latest articles published in Blood. Dr. Guo shares insights from "Nucleoplasmic ZNF467 condensates boost hematopoietic stem cell engraftment via ICAM1-mediated mechanical reprogramming". The findings establish biomechanical regulation as an important determinant of stem cell identity and reveal new strategies for engineering stem cells with enhanced regenerative capacity. Then, Dr. Forconi discusses "DC-SIGN binding to the surface immunoglobulin oligomannose-type glycans promotes follicular lymphoma cell adhesion and survival". Persistent, low-level BCR engagement by DC-SIGN enables FL tissue retention and survival while avoiding the deleterious proapoptotic consequences of stronger, conventional antigen-driven BCR signaling. These findings help explain how FL cells exploit their microenvironmental niche.
