Efectividad de la visita prequirúrgica sobre la ansiedad, el dolor y el bienestar
Objective: Assess whether the preoperative visit is an effective instrument to reduce both the preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain.Methods: Randomized controlled trial with two groups, repeated measures before-after. The study consists of comparing the average levels of anxiety, pain and well-being at different times of the surgical process. The non-parametric tests of U Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square Pearson were used for the bivariate analysis and Spearmans’s Rho correlation was used to check the association between quantitative variables Results: The experimental group shows a statistically significant decrease of the preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain and an increase of wellbeingConclusions: The preoperative visit is an effective instrument to reduce the situational anxiety level and postoperative pain.Objetivo principal: Evaluar si la visita prequirúrgica es una herramienta eficaz para disminuir el nivel de ansiedad en el preoperatorio y el dolor postoperatorio.MetodologÃa: Ensayo controlado de dos grupos aleatorios de medidas repetidas antes-después. El estudio consiste en comparar las medias de los niveles de ansiedad, dolor y bienestar en diferentes momentos del proceso quirúrgico. Para el análisis bivariante se han utilizado el test no paramétrico de U de Mann Whitney y el test de Chi Cuadrado de Paerson. Para comprobar la asociación entre las variables cuantitativas se ha utilizado la correlación Rho de Spearman.Resultados: El grupo intervención presenta un descenso estadÃsticamente significativo del nivel de ansiedad en el preoperatorio, del dolor postoperatorio y un aumento del bienestar.Conclusión: La visita prequirúrgica es una herramienta eficaz para disminuir la ansiedad situacional y el dolor postoperatorio

Effectiveness of preoperative visit on anxiety, pain and wellbeing
Objetivo principal: Evaluar si la visita prequirúrgica es una herramienta eficaz para disminuir el nivel
de ansiedad en el preoperatorio y el dolor postoperatorio.
MetodologÃa: Ensayo controlado de dos grupos aleatorios de medidas repetidas antes-después. El
estudio consiste en comparar las medias de los niveles de ansiedad, dolor y bienestar en diferentes
momentos del proceso quirúrgico. Para el análisis bivariante se han utilizado el test no paramétrico de
U de Mann Whitney y el test de Chi Cuadrado de Paerson. Para comprobar la asociación entre las
variables cuantitativas se ha utilizado la correlación Rho de Spearman.
Resultados: El grupo intervención presenta un descenso estadÃsticamente significativo del nivel de
ansiedad en el preoperatorio, del dolor postoperatorio y un aumento del bienestar.
Conclusión: La visita prequirúrgica es una herramienta eficaz para disminuir la ansiedad situacional y
el dolor postoperatorio.ABSTRACT

Minimal residual disease monitoring and immune profiling in multiple myeloma in elderly patients.
The value of minimal residual disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma (MM) has been more frequently investigated in transplant-eligible patients than in elderly patients. Because an optimal balance between treatment efficacy and toxicity is of utmost importance in patients with elderly MM, sensitive MRD monitoring might be particularly valuable in this patient population. Here, we used second-generation 8-color multiparameter-flow cytometry (MFC) to monitor MRD in 162 transplant-ineligible MM patients enrolled in the PETHEMA/GEM2010MAS65 study. The transition from first- to second-generation MFC resulted in increased sensitivity and allowed us to identify 3 patient groups according to MRD levels: MRD negative (75 years (HR, 4.8;
Large T cell clones expressing immune checkpoints increase during multiple myeloma evolution and predict treatment resistance
Abstract Tumor recognition by T cells is essential for antitumor immunity. A comprehensive characterization of T cell diversity may be key to understanding the success of immunomodulatory drugs and failure of PD-1 blockade in tumors such as multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we use single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing to characterize bone marrow T cells from healthy adults (n = 4) and patients with precursor (n = 8) and full-blown MM (n = 10). Large T cell clones from patients with MM expressed multiple immune checkpoints, suggesting a potentially dysfunctional phenotype. Dual targeting of PD-1 + LAG3 or PD-1 + TIGIT partially restored their function in mice with MM. We identify phenotypic hallmarks of large intratumoral T cell clones, and demonstrate that the CD27− and CD27+ T cell ratio, measured by flow cytometry, may serve as a surrogate of clonal T cell expansions and an independent prognostic factor in 543 patients with MM treated with lenalidomide-based treatment combinations
