Percutaneous coronary intervention and 30-day unplanned readmission with chest pain in the United States (Nationwide Readmissions Database).

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves anginal chest pain in most, but not all, treated patients. PCI is associated with unplanned readmission for angina and non-specific chest pain within 30-days of index PCI. Patients with an index hospitalization for PCI between January-November in each of the years 2010-2014 were included from the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database. Of 2 723 455 included patients, the 30-day unplanned readmission rate was 7.2% (n = 196 581, 42.3% female). This included 9.8% (n = 19 183) with angina and 11.1% (n = 21 714) with non-specific chest pain.

Clinical Manifestations of Human Exposure to Fungi.

Biological particles, along with inorganic gaseous and particulate pollutants, constitute an ever-present component of the atmosphere and surfaces. Among these particles are fungal species colonizing almost all ecosystems, including the human body. Although inoffensive to most people, fungi can be responsible for several health problems, such as allergic fungal diseases and fungal infections. Worldwide fungal disease incidence is increasing, with new emerging fungal diseases appearing yearly. Reasons for this increase are the expansion of life expectancy, the number of immunocompromised patien

Application and mechanistic research of novel therapeutic strategies in cisplatin-resistant small cell lung cancer.

IntroductionSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) initially responds well to cisplatin-based chemotherapy, but rapid development of drug resistance limits long-term efficacy and subsequent treatment options. Understanding the multifactorial mechanisms of cisplatin resistance is essential for improving patient outcomes. This review synthesizes recent preclinical and clinical advances, focusing on seven key resistance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies, including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and novel chemotherapeutic agents.DiscussionCisplatin resistance in SCLC arises through multiple

Herbal Medicine Ninjin'yoeito in the Treatment of Sarcopenia and Frailty.

Frailty and sarcopenia have recently gained considerable attention in terms of preventive care in Japan, which has an ever-increasing aging population. Sarcopenia is defined as atrophy of skeletal muscles caused by the age-related decrease in growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor and sex hormones. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reports that frailty can lead to impairment of both mental and physical functioning. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and dementia may underlie frailty. It is important to prevent progression of frailty and extend the healthy lifespan. In herbal

New Directions in the Therapy of Glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma is the most common histologic type of all gliomas and contributes to 57.3% of all cases. Despite the standard management based on surgical resection and radiotherapy, it is related to poor outcome, with a 5-year relative survival rate below 6.9%. In order to improve the overall outcome for patients, the new therapeutic strategies are needed. Herein, we describe the current state of knowledge on novel targeted therapies in glioblastoma. Based on recent studies, we compared treatment efficacy measured by overall survival and progression-free survival in patients treated with selecte

Adult-onset hypophosphatemic osteomalacia as a cause of widespread musculoskeletal pain: A retrospective case series of single center experience.

BACKGROUND: Osteomalacia (OM) is frequently confused with various musculoskeletal or other rheumatic diseases, especially in patients with adult-onset widespread musculoskeletal pain because of its low prevalence and non-specific manifestations. AIM: To facilitate the early diagnosis and etiology-specific treatment of adult-onset hypophosphatemic OM. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records was performed to screen adult patients who visited a physiatry locomotive medicine clinic (spine and musculoskeletal pain clinic) primarily presenting with widespread musculoskeletal pain at a s

Detection of potential complications in cancer survivors after chemotherapy and development of a regional care network: the PASCA feasibility study.

Complications are often poorly identified and managed in cancer survivors after treatment and restoring their initial quality of life remains a challenge, particularly in a context of unequal access to care nationwide. The PASCA "Parcours de Santé au cours du Cancer [in English: healthcare pathways with cancer]" feasibility study was conducted in the Léon Bérard Comprehensive Cancer Center (Lyon, France) to assess the feasibility of a complications detection program, in cancer survivors who have received intensive chemotherapy. An initial network of physicians and healthcare professionals was

Outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies and COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 3377 patients.

Outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancy infected with COVID-19 have not been aggregated. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the risk of death and other important outcomes for these patients. We searched PubMed and EMBASE up to 20 August 2020 to identify reports of patients with hematologic malignancy and COVID-19. The primary outcome was a pooled mortality estimate, considering all patients and only hospitalized patients. Secondary outcomes included risk of intensive care unit admission and ventilation in hospitalized patients

Predictors and Profile of Severe Infectious Complications in Multiple Myeloma Patients Treated with Daratumumab-Based Regimens: A Machine Learning Model for Pneumonia Risk.

BackgroundDaratumumab (Dara) is the first monoclonal antibody introduced into clinical practice to treat multiple myeloma (MM). It currently forms the backbone of therapy regimens in both newly diagnosed (ND) and relapsed/refractory (RR) patients. However, previous reports indicated an increased risk of infectious complications (ICs) during Dara-based treatment. In this study, we aimed to determine the profile of ICs in MM patients treated with Dara-based regimens and establish predictors of their occurrence.MethodsThis retrospective, real-life study included MM patients treated with Dara-base

A phase III randomized crossover trial of plerixafor versus G-CSF for treatment of WHIM syndrome.

BACKGROUNDWarts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by heterozygous gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations. Myelokathexis is a kind of neutropenia caused by neutrophil retention in bone marrow and in WHIM syndrome is associated with lymphopenia and monocytopenia. The CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor mobilizes leukocytes to the blood; however, its safety and efficacy in WHIM syndrome are undefined.METHODSIn this investigator-initiated, single-center, quadruple-masked phase III crossover trial, we compared the total infection s

Sjögren Disease-B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell-Targeted Therapies.

Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved disease-modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we explore the expanding field of SjD endotyping as a tool to enhance patient stratification, prognostication, and clinical decision-making. SjD endotypes driven by heightened B cell activity are linked to increased lymphoma risk. B cells play a ce

The Host Cell ViroCheckpoint: Identification and Pharmacologic Targeting of Novel Mechanistic Determinants of Coronavirus-Mediated Hijacked Cell States

Most antiviral agents are designed to target virus-specific proteins and mechanisms rather than the host cell proteins that are critically dysregulated following virus-mediated reprogramming of the host cell transcriptional state. To overcome these limitations, we propose that elucidation and pharmacologic targeting of host cell Master Regulator proteins—whose aberrant activities govern the reprogramed state of infected-coronavirus cells—presents unique opportunities to develop novel mechanism-based therapeutic approaches to antiviral therapy, either as monotherapy or as a complement to establ

Clinical development of targeted and immune based anti-cancer therapies.

Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death globally and is expected to be responsible for approximately 9.6 million deaths in 2018. With an unprecedented understanding of the molecular pathways that drive the development and progression of human cancers, novel targeted therapies have become an exciting new development for anti-cancer medicine. These targeted therapies, also known as biologic therapies, have become a major modality of medical treatment, by acting to block the growth of cancer cells by specifically targeting molecules required for cell growth and tumorigenesis. Due to

New light on chemotherapy toxicity and its prevention.

Most patients with cancer receive chemotherapy. Unfortunately, chemotherapy is associated with a number of potentially life-threatening side effects. There is a need to ameliorate chemotoxicity to improve therapeutic outcomes and quality of life. Chemotoxicity arises from systemic DNA damage and inflammation in healthy cells due to chemotherapy drugs. Traditionally, these processes are believed to be caused by the direct death of normal cells by chemotherapeutic drugs. However, new research has challenged this dogma by suggesting that chemotoxicity is a secondary effect associated with the rel

Acupuncture for post-chemoradiotherapy complications in lung cancer with bone metastasis: a case report and literature review.

Despite significant advances in oncologic therapeutics, chemoradiotherapy-induced complications, including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and hip dysfunction, remain clinically challenging to manage with pharmacological interventions alone. This report presents the case of a 52-year-old male with a history of right-sided lung cancer resection performed more than three years previously and confirmed bone metastasis for over two years. Following metastasis to the right ilium and acetabulum, the patient developed pain, numbness, gait disturbance, and impaired mobility in the ri

Extrahepatic Manifestations of Chronic HBV Infection and the Role of Antiviral Therapy.

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection leads to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocarcinoma. However, about 20% of patients experience extrahepatic manifestations such as polyarteritis nodosa, non-rheumatoid arthritis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, and glomerulonephritis. These influence the patient's morbidity, quality of life and mortality. The treatment of an HBV infection is based on nucleotide analogues (NAs) which are safe and effective for the suppression of HBV-DNA in almost 100% of cases. A few studies have shown that NAs induce a viral response and an improv
