Head-to-Head Comparison between FDG and 11C-Methionine in Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Review.

The aim of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature, comparing 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 11C-methionine (MET) for the imaging of multiple myeloma (MM) with positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT). Relevant studies published from 2013 up to March 2023 were selected by searching Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science. Selected imaging studies were analyzed using a modified version of the critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). Ten studies encompassing 335 patients were selected. On a patient-based analysis, MET sensitivity ranged betw

A high angiopoietin-2/angiopoietin-1 ratio is associated with a high risk of septic shock in patients with febrile neutropenia.

IntroductionEndothelial barrier breakdown is a hallmark of septic shock, and proteins that physiologically regulate endothelial barrier integrity are emerging as promising biomarkers of septic shock development. Patients with cancer and febrile neutropenia (FN) present a higher risk of sepsis complications, such as septic shock. Nonetheless, these patients are normally excluded or under-represented in sepsis biomarker studies. The aim of our study was to validate the measurement of a panel of microvascular permeability modulators as biomarkers of septic shock development in cancer patients wit

Perceived benefits and barriers to exercise for recently treated patients with multiple myeloma: a qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: Understanding the physical activity experiences of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is essential to inform the development of evidence-based interventions and to quantify the benefits of physical activity. The aim of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the physical activity experiences and perceived benefits and barriers to physical activity for patients with MM. METHODS: This was a qualitative study that used a grounded theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in Victoria, Australia by telephone from December 2011-February 2012 with patients w

Induction of CYP3A activity by dexamethasone may not be strong, even at high doses: insights from a case of tacrolimus co-administration.

BackgroundDexamethasone (DEX) induces CYP3A activity in a concentration-dependent manner. However, no study has examined changes in the blood concentration of CYP3A substrate drugs when DEX is administered at high doses. Herein, we present a case in which tacrolimus (TAC), a typical CYP3A substrate drug, was co-administered with a chemotherapy regimen that included high-dose DEX.Case presentationA 71-year-old woman underwent liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma 18 years prior to her inclusion in this case study. She was receiving TAC orally at 2 mg/day and had a stable trough blo

Мы игнорируем сексуальные различия в гематологии? Призыв к совершенствованию отчетности.

Существуют явные различия по признаку пола в частотности, факторах риска и смертности от большинства гематологов (ГМ). Несмотря на известные различия в физиологии, гематопоисеях, молекулярных профилях, фармакокинетике наркотиков, токсичности, связанной с лечением, и опыте лечения, мужчины и женщины получают стандартизованное и одинаковое лечение большинства ТМ. Предыдущая опубликованная работа продемонстрировала различия в представленности женщин в клинических испытаниях на рак и выявила недостаток информации о результатах дифференцированного лечения и токсичности в разбивке по полу. Мы проана

Development of a Simplified Geriatric Score-4 (SGS-4) to Predict Outcomes After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients Aged over 50.

Background: The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) has proven to be a valuable tool for providing a more comprehensive health evaluation of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) recipients. Methods: We prospectively developed and tested a new Simplified Geriatric Score-4 (SGS-4) on 135 consecutive patients aged ≥50 years who underwent allo-SCT between 2020 and 2023. Each CGA component was individually analyzed for its association with overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR). Then, we performed a two-factor analysis (FA) usin

Longitudinal Collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes and Activity Data during CAR-T Therapy: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Data Visualization.

Background: Clinicians must closely monitor patients for toxicities after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) (e.g., toxicities, quality of life) and activity data (e.g., steps, sleep) may complement clinicians’ observations. This study tested the feasibility and acceptability of collecting PROs and activity data from patients with hematologic malignancies during CAR-T and explored preliminary data patterns. Methods: Participants wore a Fitbit tracker and completed PROs at several timepoints through 90-days post-infusion. Feasibility was assessed

Selinexor in combination with topotecan in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors: Results of an open-label, single-center, multi-arm phase Ib study.

Background Selinexor, a first-in-class, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound inhibits Exportin-1(XPO1), had demonstrated synergistic activity with many chemotherapies and conferred in vivo antitumor efficacy in hematologic as well as solid tumors. Methods This open-label, single-center, multi-arm phase 1b study used a standard 3 + 3 design and a "basket type" expansion. Selinexor with intravenous topotecan was given in one of the 13 parallel arms. Patients with advanced or metastatic relapsed/refractory solid tumors following prior systemic therapy, or in whom the additio

Exploring the association and causal effect between white blood cells and psoriasis using large-scale population data.

IntroductionPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. A few studies have shown that psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease in which multiple immune cells play crucial roles. However, the association between circulating immune cells and psoriasis remains elusive.MethodsTo explore the role of circulating immune cells in psoriasis, 361,322 individuals from the UK Biobank (UKB) and 3,971 patients with psoriasis from China were included to investigate the association between white blood cells and psoriasis via an observational study. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Mendel

Statins Enhance the Molecular Response in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia when Combined with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Previous studies have suggested that statins can be repurposed for cancer treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of statins in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has not yet been demonstrated. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of 408 CML patients who underwent imatinib therapy. The deep molecular response rates in patients treated with the statin/TKI combination were significantly higher than those in patients treated with TKI alone (p = 0.0016). The statin/TKI combination exerted potent cytotoxic effects against wild-type and ABL1 mutant CML, BaF3, and K562/T315I muta

Antibodies to watch in 2018.

The pace of antibody therapeutics development accelerated in 2017, and this faster pace is projected to continue through 2018. Notably, the annual number of antibody therapeutics granted a first approval in either the European Union (EU) or United States (US) reached double-digits (total of 10) for the first time in 2017. The 10 antibodies granted approvals are: brodalumab, dupilumab, sarilumab, guselkumab, benralizumab, ocrelizumab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, avelumab, duvalumab, and emicizumab. Brodalumab, however, had already been approved in Japan in 2016. As of December 1, 2017, nine antibody

Corticosteroid-associated osteonecrosis in paediatric compared with adult patients: are they the same disease?

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a debilitating condition with a poorly characterized pathogenesis. Among the reported aetiologies, excessive alcohol consumption and corticosteroid administration are leading causes. Corticosteroids are often administered as a life-saving treatment for primary oncological or autoimmune conditions, but the subsequent development of ONFH can significantly impair the quality of life of both paediatric and adult patients. This review provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis of recent advances in the understanding of corticosteroid-associate

Plasma-Derived Extracelleral Vesicle MicroRNAs в мультиплексном склерозе: исследовательское тематическое исследование по проблеме финотипической дискриминации.

Проведение различия между множественным склерозом (RRMS) и вторичным прогрессивным заболеванием (SPMS) по-прежнему является клинической проблемой, поскольку ни один лабораторный тест не позволяет точно определить, каким образом происходит переход. Мы изучили вопрос о том, могут ли два фенотипа быть отделены от микроРНК (ЭМ) с помощью плазмы внеклеточного печени. Четыре потенциальных EV-miRNA: miR-30a-5p, miR-223-5p, miR-155-5p и miR-146a-5p, были оценены qRT-PCR в эV-излученных плазменной плазмой 13 здоровых регуляторов (HC), 7 RRMS и 16 пациентов SPMS, нормализованных до miR-16-5p. ЭМ отличал

Необычные образования, необычные задачи: обзор нарушений ячеек из реалистической плазмы.

Редкие расстройства плазменных клеток, включая IgD, IgE и IgM, множественные миеломы, несекретарские миэломы (NSMM), лейкемию плазмы (PCL) и тяжелые цепные заболевания (HCD), биологически неоднородны и часто присутствуют с атипичными характеристиками и агрессивным поведением. В этом обзоре обобщаются текущие данные об их эпидемиологии, патофизиологии, диагностике и лечении. Достижения в протеиновых ингибиторах, иммуномудуляторных агентах и аутологической трансплантации улучшили результаты в отдельных подтипах. Вместе с тем сохраняются проблемы, связанные с проведением различия между миэломой И

Cutting edge of immune response and immunosuppressants in allogeneic and xenogeneic islet transplantation.

As an effective treatment for diabetes, islet transplantation has garnered significant attention and research in recent years. However, immune rejection and the toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs remain critical factors influencing the success of islet transplantation. While immunosuppressants are essential in reducing immune rejection reactions and can significantly improve the survival rate of islet transplants, improper use of these drugs can markedly increase mortality rates following transplantation. Additionally, the current availability of islet organ donations fails to meet the demand

Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors in multiple myeloma: promote or inhibit?

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a vital role in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM), especially for tumor invasion and osteolytic osteopathy. By breaking down extracellular matrix (ECM) components and releasing the proteins composing the ECM and growth factors, as well as their receptors, MMPs affect tissue integrity and promote cancer cell invasion and metastasis. A vital pathophysiological characteristic of MM is the progress of osteolytic lesions, which are brought on by interactions between myeloma cells and the bone marrow mic

Оценочный анализ мышечных спазмов и спазмов при расстройстве верхних моторных нейронов...two По бокам одной и той же монеты?

КОЛИЧЕСТВО: Мышечные спазмы обычно рассматриваются как доброкачественная сверхактивность мышц у здоровых людей, в то время как спазмы связаны со спазмами, возникающими в результате повреждения центральных моторных систем. Однако их поразительное сходство заставило нас предположить, что схватка - это недооцененный и потенциально неверный аспект спастисти. МЕТОДЫ: На Эмбазе/медлине был проведен систематический поиск спазмов и спазмов у пациентов с нарушениями верхней части моторного нейрона (повреждения спинного мозга, церебральный паралич, травма головного мозга и инсульт) с целью описания опре
