The expenditures related to the use of antifungal drugs in patients with hematological cancers: a cost analysis.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to analyze the expenditures related to the use of antifungal drugs in patients with hematological malignancies.MethodsIn this retrospective study, the expenditures related to use of antifungal drugs for treatment of invasive fungal infections in patients with hematological malignancies between November 2010 and November 2012 were analyzed. Expenditures of antifungal drugs were calculated by converting the price billed to the Republic of Turkey Social Security Institution per patient using the US dollar ($) exchange rate.ResultsWe retrospectively analyzed the e

Clinical features and current management experience in Gorham-Stout disease: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare complex lymphatic malformation. Since its initial description in 1838, only approximately 400 patients have been documented. There is currently no consensus on the diagnostic criteria or treatment options for GSD. The objective of this study was to review the clinical characteristics of patients with GSD and determine the current diagnostic and treatment models. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to identify all relevant literature on GSD published over the decade

Kaplan-Meier single group survival analysis was used to estimate median survival time and progression-free interval.ResultsThirteen dogs met the inclusion criteria for the study, and of those, 11 were treated. The median age at di

Neutrophilic and eosinophilic dermatoses associated with hematological malignancy.

Cutaneous manifestations of hematologic malignancy represent both a clinical challenge for the treating physician and a pathophysiological model for advancing the knowledge on individual neoplasms. Indeed, a growing body of evidence supports the concept of recurrent molecular defects associating with specific clinical features, as best exemplified by VEXAS. Herein neutrophilic and eosinophilic dermatoses of potential interest for both hematologists and dermatologists will be reviewed, including subcorneal pustular dermatosis-type IgA pemphigus, neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis, Sweet's syndro

Carcinoembryonic Antigen, Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9, Cancer Antigen 125, Prostate-Specific Antigen and Other Cancer Markers: A Primer on Commonly Used Cancer Markers.

Cancer markers are molecules produced by cancer cells which may serve to identify the presence of cancer. Cancer markers can be differentiated as serum-based, radiology-based and tissue-based, and are one of the most important tools in diagnosing, staging and monitoring of treatment of many cancers. The most used cancer markers are serum cancer markers due to its relative ease and lower cost of testing. However, serum cancer markers have poor mass screening utilization due to poor positive predictive value. Several markers such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), beta-human chorionic gonadotro

Prurigo Nodularis: Pathogenesis and the Horizon of Potential Therapeutics.

Chronic pruritus that lasts for over 6 weeks can present in various forms, like papules, nodules, and plaque types, with prurigo nodularis (PN) being the most prevalent. The pathogenesis of PN involves the dysregulation of immune cell-neural circuits and is associated with peripheral neuropathies, possibly due to chronic scratching. PN is a persistent and challenging condition, involving complex interactions among the skin, immune system, and nervous system. Lesional skin in PN exhibits the infiltration of diverse immune cells like T cells, eosinophils, macrophages, and mast cells, leading to

Relapsing polychondritis: state of the art on clinical practice guidelines.

Due to the rarity of relapsing polychondritis (RP), many unmet needs remain in the management of RP. Here, we present a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) published for RP, as well as a list of the most striking unmet needs for this rare disease. We carried out a systematic search in PubMed and Embase based on controlled terms (medical subject headings and Emtree) and keywords of the disease and publication type (CPGs). The systematic literature review identified 20 citations, among which no CPGs could be identified. We identified 11 main areas with unmet needs in the fie

Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of Malnutrition in Older Japanese Adults at High Surgical Risk Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Background The usefulness of preprocedural nutritional status to stratify prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been evaluated; however, the studies conducted so far have been relatively small and/or focused on a single nutritional index. This study sought to assess the prevalence and prognostic impact of malnutrition in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods and Results We applied the Controlling Nutritional Status score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index to 1040 consecutive older

KSHV and cancer: understanding the oncogenic machinery for next-generation diagnostic tools and therapies.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), or human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), is an oncogenic virus responsible for Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and lymphoproliferative disorders like primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). This review explores KSHV's oncogenic mechanisms, focusing on its ability to manipulate host cell signaling, evade immune detection, and promote tumorigenesis through latent and lytic viral proteins. Key oncoproteins, such as LANA, vCyc, vFLIP, and vGPCR, activate cancer hallmarks, as sustained proliferation, immune evasion, angiogenesis, and re

Small cell carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation of subglottic larynx- a case report.

Small cell cancer (SCC) is a neuroendocrine neoplasm, which is most frequently found in the lungs. Extrapulmonary location of SCC is rare and may involve 2.5-5% of SCCs. We present a case of a 31-year-old male patient with an extremely uncommon subglottic SCC. The patient was qualified for a radical sequential chemoradiotherapy. After treatment, patient's condition suggested complete remission. Recurrence was detected one year later, and the disease rapidly progressed, despite a second line chemotherapy. The patient died 29 months after initial diagnosis. This case aims to raise awareness on t

Management of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Intensive Care Units: Guidelines From the Fungal Infection Network of Switzerland (FUNGINOS).

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly recognised in intensive care units (ICU) affecting not only patients with classical immunosuppressive conditions but also other severely ill patients, including those with respiratory viral infections (influenza, COVID-19), advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute and chronic liver diseases. Several expert panels have proposed definitions of IPA in different ICU settings. However, practical recommendations for its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are scarce. Moreover, these approaches can be influenced by different para

Evidence-Based Review of BioBran/MGN-3 Arabinoxylan Compound as a Complementary Therapy for Conventional Cancer Treatment.

IntroductionConventional cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, may not be sufficient to eradicate all malignant cells and prevent recurrence. Intensive treatment often leads to a depressed immune system, drug resistance, and toxicity, hampering the treatment outcomes. BioBran/MGN-3 Arabinoxylan is a standardized arabinoxylan concentrate which has been proposed as a plant-based immunomodulator that can restore the tumor-induced disturbance of the natural immune system, including natural killer cell activity to fight cancer, complementing conventional therapies.Obj

Одинокая плазмоцитома ребер: доклад о рейдовом деле.

Одинарная плазмоцитома кости (СБ) — редко злокачественная плазма, состоящая из неоплазмы. 6% из всех опухолей плазменных клеток. Для него характерно одиночное остеолитическое повреждение. В настоящем докладе содержится описание асимптомного СПБ в ребре 66-year-old Чувак. Рентгеновское излучение и вычисленная томография (CT) первоначально показали локализованную ресорбцию костей и разрушение правого пятого заднего ребра с помощью а 4.0×2.4×2.8 масса мягких тканей. Одинокие фотовыбросы, рассчитанные на томографию (SPECT), подтвердили наличие изолированных ребер без множественных повреждений скел

Livedoid vasculopathy: A multidisciplinary clinical approach to diagnosis and management.

Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is a rare, chronic, and occlusive disease of the veins supplying the upper parts of the skin. The pathogenesis of the disease is not precisely understood, and its attacks are often unpredictable but tend to worsen during the summer. LV affects women more often. This increased risk for LV in women might be related to sex-specific physiological conditions, such as pregnancy, or a higher incidence of LV-associated conditions, such as connective tissue diseases, hypercoagulable states, and venous stasis in women. The typical clinical appearance of LV consists of three ma

Concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism and systemic lupus erythematosus: coincidence or not? A new case report.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia. Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can develop hypercalcemia but it is exceptionally due to PHP. There are only few cases of concurrent SLE and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) described in the literature. We report a case of a 31-year-old patient having SLE with lupus nephritis class III and anti-phospholipid syndrome, complicated by pulmonary embolism associated to primary hyperparathyroidism causing severe hypercalcemia and osteoporosis. Even if there is no evidence for potential pathogenic associati

Indian Expert Opinion on Cancer Care during COVID-19 Pandemic.

Coronavirus pandemic has increased human disease burden, as well as economic distress globally. Being in an immunocompromised state, patients with cancer comprise an important at-risk population for novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. It is necessary to modify individualized clinical management for every cancer patient in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Simultaneously, additional safety precautions for the cancer care providers are mandatory. This review will provide general recommendations in the Indian context optimizing the same.

KRAS mutation in secondary malignant histiocytosis arising from low grade follicular lymphoma.

BackgroundTransformation of follicular lymphoma most typically occurs as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, however other forms of transformation such as classic Hodgkin lymphoma and lymphoblastic transformation can occur. Secondary malignant histiocytosis also represents a rare form of transformation, which is thought to occur due to a process of transdifferentiation whereby the lymphoma cells exhibit lineage plasticity and lose all evidence of B-cell phenotype and instead acquire the phenotype of a histiocytic neoplasm. Little is known about the underlying genetic alterations that occur during t
