Unveiling the Complexities of Hereditary Angioedema.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic disorder, constituting approximately 2% of all clinical cases of angioedema, with a global prevalence estimated between 1 in 50,000 and 1 in 150,000 individuals. The condition affects individuals of all genders and ethnic backgrounds without significant variation. HAE is classified into three types. Type I HAE, which accounts for 85% of cases, is characterized by a deficiency of the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) gene. Type II HAE, making up 15% of cases, involves a dysfunctional C1-INH. Type III HAE, which represen

This systematic review aimed to identify all validated self-report PN scales and critically appraise their measurement properties. This review was conducted using the COSMIN methodology for PROMs and the PRISMA statement. Five databases were searched from inception to August 2024, identifying 46 eligible studies and 16 PROMs. Evidence quality ranged from "very low" to "moderate", with n

Экстренные ситуации в гематологии: Почему, когда и как я лечусь?

Гематологические чрезвычайные ситуации являются критическими медицинскими условиями, требующими неотложного внимания в силу их быстрого развития и опасного для жизни характера. В качестве примера можно привести гиперкальцемию, которая часто ассоциируется с раком, таким как множественная миелома, что может привести к серьезной неврологической и сердечной дисфункции. Гиперлейкоцитоз, распространенный в острой миэлоидной лейкемии, повышает риск лейкостаза и многоорганического отказа. Кислородный кризис, обычное осложнение серповидноклеточной болезни, является результатом вазооккуляции, приводящей

Patient Preferences for Multiple Myeloma Treatments: A Multinational Qualitative Study.

Background: Investigational and marketed drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) are associated with a range of characteristics and uncertainties regarding long term side-effects and efficacy. This raises questions about what matters most to patients living with this disease. This study aimed to understand which characteristics MM patients find most important, and hence should be included as attributes and levels in a subsequent quantitative preference survey among MM patients. Methods: This qualitative study involved: (i) a scoping literature review, (ii) discussions with MM patients

Critical considerations in the administration of antineoplastic therapy for patients with malignant solid tumors undergoing hemodialysis.

Patients with chronic kidney disease exhibit a higher risk of developing malignancies, and among those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis, approximately 7% are diagnosed with new-onset tumors within five years. Patients with ESRD who are receiving antineoplastic treatment exhibit a significantly higher incidence and greater severity of adverse effects associated with antineoplastic agents compared to individuals with normal renal function. This complexity involves multiple factors, including the therapy options and dose adjustment of antineoplastic agents, drug-related toxicities,

Practical management of disease-related manifestations and drug toxicities in patients with multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a very heterogeneous disease with multiple symptoms and clinical manifestations. MM affects mainly elderly patients and is difficult to manage in the presence of comorbidities, polypharmacy, frailty and adverse events of disease-targeted drugs. The rapid changes in MM treatment resulting from constant innovations in this area, together with the introduction of numerous new drugs with distinct mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles, have led to an increased complexity in the therapeutic decision-making and patient management processes. The prolonged exposure to nove

Revolutionizing ovarian cancer therapy by drug repositioning for accelerated and cost-effective treatments.

Criteria for referring pediatric and adult patients with hematological diseases to palliative care: Consensus of the Brazilian Association of Hematology, hemotherapy and cell therapy (2025).

Palliative care is, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), "a global ethical responsibility" and crucial to person-centered healthcare, for the relief of physical and psychological symptoms and social and spiritual suffering, impacting the improvement of the quality of life not only of pediatric and adult patients dealing with life-threatening illnesses, but also of their families. Despite the growing recognition of palliative care in the hematological setting and the increase in the number of publications on the subject, the available data are still scarce and limited. The objectiv

Optimal Delivery of Follow-Up Care After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplant: Improving Patient Outcomes with a Multidisciplinary Approach.

The increasing indications for allogeneic stem-cell transplant in patients with hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases combined with improved clinical outcomes have contributed to increase the number of long-term survivors. However, survivors are at increased risk of developing a unique set of complications and late effects, besides graft-versus-host disease and disease relapse. In this setting, the management capacity of a single health-care provider can easily be overwhelmed. Thus, to provide appropriate survivorship care, a multidisciplinary approach for the long-term follow-up

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Capsaicin and Its Analogues in Pain and Other Diseases.

Capsaicin is the most predominant and naturally occurring alkamide found in Capsicum fruits. Since its discovery in the 19th century, the therapeutic roles of capsaicin have been well characterized. The potential applications of capsaicin range from food flavorings to therapeutics. Indeed, capsaicin and few of its analogues have featured in clinical research covered by more than a thousand patents. Previous records suggest pleiotropic pharmacological activities of capsaicin such as an analgesic, anti-obesity, anti-pruritic, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and neur

Hypoxia within the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment: a master saboteur of novel treatments.

Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors are the most aggressive primary brain tumors in adults that, despite maximum treatment, carry a dismal prognosis. GBM tumors exhibit tissue hypoxia, which promotes tumor aggressiveness and maintenance of glioma stem cells and creates an overall immunosuppressive landscape. This article reviews how hypoxic conditions overlap with inflammatory responses, favoring the proliferation of immunosuppressive cells and inhibiting cytotoxic T cell development. Immunotherapies, including vaccines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and CAR-T cell therapy, represent promising avenues f
