Chordoma combined with Trousseau syndrome: a case report and literature review.

BackgroundTrousseau syndrome (TS) refers to spontaneous, recurrent, and wandering arterial and venous thromboembolic events in patients with tumors. It results from abnormalities in coagulation and fibrinolytic mechanisms of varying degrees throughout the course of the disease. It has a high fatality rate, and it is commonly seen in patients with highly invasive tumors, such as lung, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and breast cancers; however, to date, there has been no report of TS combined with chordoma.Case descriptionA 56-year-old male with a diagnosis of chordoma underwent surgery, immunoth

Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in rapidly progressing cardiac amyloidosis: a literature review based on case report.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac amyloidosis is a rarely reported and potentially fatal variant of the systemic disease. Its early diagnosis could potentially lead to significantly improved clinical outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old female presented with dyspnea and palpitations. Her physical exam and non-invasive evaluation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) revealed restrictive cardiomyopathy, and the bone marrow biopsy results showed systemic amyloidosis. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is not always straightforward, and delay can cause the progression of the di

Prevalence, classifications and factors associated with sexual dysfunction among adult cancer patients on chemotherapy at the Uganda Cancer Institute, Mbarara.

BACKGROUND: Sexual dysfunction is a social challenge that devastates many people, including cancer patients. However, among the numerous reported side effects of chemotherapy sexual dysfunction is the least studied and reported. The chemotherapeutics used among cancer patients are potential risk factors for the development of sexual dysfunction, and such an understanding of these risk factors can lead to numerous interventions to bypass their effects on sexual activity. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence, classification and factors associated with sexual dysfunc

Early administration of remdesivir plus convalescent plasma therapy is effective to treat COVID-19 pneumonia in B-cell depleted patients with hematological malignancies.

Patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) are at a higher risk of developing severe form and protracted course of COVID-19 disease. We investigated whether the combination of viral replication inhibition with remdesivir and administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulins with convalescent plasma (CP) therapy might be sufficient to treat B-cell-depleted patients with COVID-19. We enrolled 20 consecutive patients with various HMs with profound B-cell lymphopenia and COVID-19 pneumonia between December 2020 and May 2021. All patients demonstrated undetectable baseline anti-SARS-CoV-2 immun

Haematologists' experiences implementing patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in an outpatient clinic: a qualitative study for applied practice.

BackgroundThe patient-doctor relationship is crucial to provide person-centred care, allowing the alleviation of symptom burden caused by disease or treatment. Implementing Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) is suggested to inform the decision-making process and lead to initiation of care. Yet there are knowledge gaps regarding how meaningful it is to incorporate PROMs in clinical settings. The aim of this study was to investigate haematologists' experiences when PROMs were implemented in an outpatient setting.MethodsFourteen participant observations, 13 individual interviews and three

Medical practitioners' awareness and practices regarding bisphosphonate therapy and oral health risks: a Malaysian cross‑sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Bisphosphonates are widely prescribed for osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and malignancy-related bone disease. While effective in reducing skeletal complications, they are associated with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a serious but preventable condition. Medical practitioners play a central role in initiating therapy, educating patients, and coordinating referrals, yet data on awareness and practices in Malaysia remain limited. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the awareness, prescribing practices, and perceived roles of medical practitioners at a university hos

Management of Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia Remains Challenging Even in the Era of Novel Agents.

Primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive variant of multiple myeloma (MM). PCL is characterized by peripheral blood involvement by malignant plasma cells and an aggressive clinical course leading to poor survival. There is considerable overlap between MM and PCL with respect to clinical, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic features, but circulating plasma cell count exceeding 20% of peripheral blood leukocytes or an absolute plasma cell count of >2000/mm3 distinguishes it from MM. After initial stabilization and diagnosis confirmation, treatment of PCL in a fit patient typical

Decoding the Role of Companions in Supporting the Health Communication of Older African-American Men With Cancer.

The objective of this study was to systematically characterize the content and patterning of companion's communicative behavior during oncology consultations for older African-American male patients. Companions and family members often play an important role in patient-centered communication for patients with cancer. Despite their disproportionate cancer burden, little is known about how companions facilitate patient-provider communication for older African-American men with cancer. This study represents a secondary qualitative analysis of 14 video-recorded doctor patient-companion medical vis

Emphasizing Patient-Centricity Through a Tailored Training Program to Empower Patients, Advocates, and Ethics Committees in Good Clinical Practice.

ObjectivesGood Clinical Practices (GCP) are essential for patient-centric research. The standard bioethics and GCP training emphasizing a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not adequately equip ethics committee members, especially the lay and social scientist members, towards their critical role in reviewing clinical trials and related documentation. This article explores a patient-centered, patient advocates-driven training program focused on raising awareness about research ethics and GCP among patients, advocates and ethics committee members.MethodsA patient advocates-driven program called Pa

Ретроспективное, многоцентральное исследование наблюдений, направленное на создание возможностей для разработки основанных на искусственном интеллекте прогнозирующих моделей для развития заболеваний в множестве склерозов.

Множественный склероз (МС) характеризуется постепенным ухудшением состояния инвалидов с течением времени. С учетом того, что в настоящее время имеется большое число методов лечения, позволяющих замедлить этот прогресс, с помощью соответствующего регулирования, очевидно, что существует потребность в индивидуализированном и основывающемся на данных подходе к оптимизации лечения, с тем чтобы более эффективно замедлять прогресс в развитии заболеваний и, в конечном итоге, постепенно усугублять инвалидность. Это в значительной степени зависит от наличия биомаркеров, которые могут обнаруживать и пров

Multiple myeloma presenting as an unhealed extraction socket: Report of a case with brief review of literature.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a relatively rare malignant hematological disease, which is characterized by a monoclonal malignant proliferation of plasma cells that causes osteolytic lesions. Maxillofacial presentations in patients with MM are not uncommon, but because the symptoms are varied, it is very difficult to diagnose MM in this region especially in patients with initial oral involvement. Furthermore, maxillofacial manifestations as an initial sign or symptom are scarce. We report a case of a 40-year-old male patient who presented with an unhealed socket in lower left back tooth region for

Past Happiness and Broken Future Horizon of Oncological Patients during Chemotherapy-A Quantitative Exploration of a Phenomenological Hypothesis.

Understanding the impact of cancer on the experience of time is crucial in the context of hope and recovery. This study, a follow-up to a previous qualitative study of ovarian cancer patients - explored two types of such experiences-the memory of past happiness and the limited future planning. A sociodemographic questionnaire with nine questions about the experience of time was used on a convenience sample of 202 patients with various cancers, predominantly women with breast, ovarian, and cervical cancer. It was found that the respondents experienced increased focus on the present, decreased f

The Relationship and Expression of miR-451a, miR-25-3p and PTEN in Early Peritoneal Endometriotic Lesions and Their Modulation In Vitro.

BackgroundmiR-451a can function as a tumor suppresser and has been shown to be elevated in both endometriotic lesion tissue and serum from women with endometriosis. To further explore the role of miR-451a in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, specifically, further evaluating its association with the tumor suppressor, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), we examined their expression in individual endometriotic lesion tissue to gain insight into their relationship and further explore if miR-451a regulates PTEN expression.MethodsA total of 55 red, peritoneal endometriotic lesions and matched
