Areas of Uncertainty in SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination for Cancer Patients.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, it was recognized that infection with SARS-CoV-2 is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer; therefore, preventive vaccination in cancer survivors is expected to be particularly impactful. Heterogeneity in how a neoplastic disease diagnosis and treatment interferes with humoral and cellular immunity, however, poses a number of challenges in vaccination strategies. Herein, the available literature on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines among patients with cancer is critically appraised under the lens of anti-neoplastic treatme

Периоперативные соображения для пациентов с множественной миеломой.

Множественная миелома — неизлечимый рак, характеризующийся распространением клональных плазменных клеток, в основном в костном мозге, но вызывающий широкомасштабные системные осложнения. Кроме того, этот рак обычно встречается у пожилых пациентов, которые часто являются слабыми и страдают от многочисленных коморбидов. Общемировая распространенность множественной миеломы неуклонно возрастает, а терапевтические достижения способствуют повышению уровня выживания. Существует несколько осложнений миеломы, о которых анестезиолог должен знать в связи с самим заболеванием, конкретными и подкрепляющими

Photobiomodulation in Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Outcomes in Stage I and Its Adjunctive Role in Advanced Cases.

Background/Objectives: The development of pharmacotherapy, particularly in antiangiogenic drugs, has led to the emergence of MRONJ as a significant side effect. With the increasing incidence of cancer, the management of MRONJ poses a growing challenge for clinicians. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) in treating patients with stage I, II, and III medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods: A total of 31 patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 14 patients), with Stage 1 MRONJ; and Group 2 (n = 17 patients), with Stage

Fibula flap versus soft tissue flap with reconstruction plate for mandibular stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: a retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: With the increasing incidence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), the choice of reconstruction method for mandibular stage 3 MRONJ remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of fibula flap (FF) and soft tissue flap with reconstruction plate (SR) in patients with mandibular stage 3 MRONJ. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with mandibular stage 3 MRONJ who underwent reconstruction between September 2018 and May 2024. Patients were categorized into the FF and SR groups. Demographic and general characteristics,

Giant Cell Tumor of the Sacrum: A Narrative Review of Management Challenges and Modalities.

Background/Objectives: Sacral giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare, mostly benign but locally aggressive neoplasm that carries significant diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its anatomic complexity, proximity to sacral nerve roots as well as the blood vessels, and potential impact on bowel, bladder, sexual, and lumbopelvic function and stability. This narrative review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, classification, management strategies, outcomes, and surveillance of sacral GCTB. Methods: A focused literature

Pneumonia in Transplant Recipients: A Comprehensive Review of Diagnosis and Management.

Transplant recipients have an increased risk of complications, including graft dysfunction and infections, which can be life-threatening if not recognized early. Pneumonia ranks as one of the most frequent complications in both solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplants. Clinical symptoms manifest late during infections in immunocompromised patients. An aggressive approach centered on early confirmatory diagnosis and a low threshold for empiric therapy is often the most effective strategy. The isolation of a pathogen in an upper airway sample does not necessarily mean the same organis

Anesthesia's Influence on Postoperative In-Hospital Morbidity-Mortality in Proximal Femoral Fractures in the Elderly.

Background and Objectives: The incidence of proximal femoral fractures (PFFs) is rising, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Regional anesthesia (RA)'s benefits include the avoidance of intubation and mechanical ventilation, decreased blood loss, and improved analgesia. General anesthesia (GA) offers improved hemodynamic stability. This study examines the in-hospital post-surgical morbidity and mortality seen in PFFs in a cohort of the elderly undergoing GA or RA. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 319 PFF patients older than 65 years over a single year. Re

Combining rehabilitation nursing with nutritional intervention to improve self-care ability and nutritional status in elderly stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.

This study was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effects of combining rehabilitation nursing with nutritional intervention on self-care ability and nutritional status in elderly stroke patients. Three hundred elderly stroke patients admitted to a hospital from 2021 to 2023 were randomly allocated to either an experimental group (n = 150) receiving rehabilitation nursing combined with nutritional intervention, or a control group (n = 150) receiving standard care. Changes in clinical efficacy, self-care ability, nutritional status indicators, and recovery of motor function we

Arrhythmias, conduction disorders and sudden cardiac death in cancer patients and survivors: expert opinion of the working groups on cardio-oncology and on electrophysiology of the hellenic cardiac society.

Advances in cancer therapeutics have significantly improved patient survival; however, cardiotoxic effects-including arrhythmias-have emerged as a growing clinical concern. This expert opinion, developed by the Working Groups on Cardio-Oncology and Electrophysiology of the Hellenic Cardiological Society, aims to raise awareness of the increasing burden of arrhythmias in cancer patients and survivors. This document explores the multifactorial etiology of arrhythmias in this population, including patient-related factors, the direct effects of malignancy, and the arrhythmogenic potential of thera

Innovative Approaches in Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment: A Comprehensive Review of Bone Marrow-Derived Products.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic articular disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of cartilage and bone tissue, leading to the appearance of subchondral cysts, osteophyte formation, and synovial inflammation. Conventional treatments consist of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), analgesics, and glucocorticoids. However, the prolonged use of these drugs causes adverse effects. NSAIDs, for instance, are known to be nephrotoxic, increasing the damage to articular cartilage. New therapies capable of accelerating the process of tissue regeneration and repair are bein

Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Suggestive of Optic Perineuritis and Optic Neuritis: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a rare mitochondrial disorder characterized by subacute, painless, and bilateral vision loss, typically affecting young men. LHON is caused by mitochondrial DNA mutations, most commonly m.11778G>A, m.14484T>C, and m.3460G>A. LHON has incomplete penetrance, with a higher prevalence in men, and its diagnosis is often delayed because of clinical overlap with other optic nerve disorders, such as optic neuritis. Herein, we report the case of a 37-year-old man presenting with progressive vision loss in both eyes over two months. Early magnetic resonance im

Intercalary prosthetic replacement is a reliable solution for metastatic humeral shaft fractures: retrospective, observational study of a single center series.

BACKGROUND: Treatments for metastatic fracture of the humeral shaft continue to evolve as advances are made in both oncological and operative management. The purposes of this study were to critically evaluate the effectiveness of intercalary endoprostheses in treating metastatic humeral shaft fractures and to clarify the surgical indications for this technique. METHODS: Sixty-three patients treated surgically for 66 metastatic fractures of the humerus shaft were retrospectively reviewed. Intramedullary nailing (IMN) was performed in 16 lesions, plate fixation (PF) in 33 lesions, and prostheti

Association of patient activity bio-profiles with health-related quality of life in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a prospective observational cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Due to the nature of their disease, patients with multiple myeloma (MM) often have bone disease-related pain that limits physical activity and diminishes health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Digital health technology with wearables and electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) tools can provide insights into MM HRQoL. METHODS: In this prospective observational cohort study conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer in NY, NY, USA, patients with newly diagnosed MM (n = 40) in two cohorts (Cohort A - patients <65 years; Cohort B - patients ≥65 years) were passively remote-moni
