Key Points Inhibition of BTK in patients who are resistant to ibrutinib changes signaling tumor dependencies and promotes MYC upregulation. Multitarget inhibition of LYN, FYN, and BLK is therapeutically effective in patients with DLBCL independent of their molecular subtypes.

Key Points Newly diagnosed primary cHLs have a concomitant increase in CD4+ Th1-polarized Tregs and differentiated Teffs. Primary cHLs exhibit 2 major complementary bases of immunosuppression: likely exhausted PD-1+ Th1 Teffs and active PD-1− Th1 Tregs.

Key Points Anti-CD30 therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma led to transient loss of detectable CD4+ T-cell HIV RNA and a decrease in residual plasma viremia. Targeting nonviral markers expressed on HIV-1 transcriptionally active cells may lead to reduced measures of HIV-1 persistence.

Abstract An effective discharge plan is associated with better outcomes in advanced heart failure (HF) patients. Furthermore, a patient-centred care planning can improve patients’ satisfaction, quality of life, and enhance self-care. Telemedicine may allow optimized monitoring of advanced HF patients. Nevertheless, its implementation into clinical practice across European countries is still limited. This document reflects the key points discussed concerning effective management plans in advanced HF by a panel of experts during a Heart Failure Association meeting on physiological monitoring of the complex multimorbid HF patient.

Key Points NHL subclassification is lacking in Malawi due to resource constraints yet is critical for directing therapy. Targeted gene expression profiling facilitates objective assessment and segregation of biologically defined subsets of NHL from Malawi.
