Treatment patterns and outcomes in light chain amyloidosis: An institutional registry of amyloidosis report in Argentina.

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a form of systemic amyloidosis, causing organ dysfunction, mainly affecting the heart and kidney. Patient-tailored and risk-adapted decision making is critical in AL amyloidosis management. There is limited real-world evidence data from Argentina and Latin America regarding the treatment approaches for AL amyloidosis. This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe the treatment patterns and outcomes in adult patients (>18 years) diagnosed with AL amyloidosis at the Hospital Italiano in Buenos Aires, Argentina, using a 10-yearfollow-up data (June 1, 2010 to Ma

The Role of IL-6 and TNF-Alpha Biomarkers in Predicting Disability Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

IntroductionInflammatory biomarkers, including Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), play a significant role in influencing stroke outcomes, particularly in the progression of post-stroke disability. While numerous studies have suggested a correlation between elevated levels of these cytokines and poor functional recovery, further investigation is needed to understand their prognostic value in acute ischemic stroke.Materials and methodsWe conducted a prospective study on 56 patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke, evaluating IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels on days 1

Polyethyleneimine-treated polyacrylonitrile membrane hemofilter for critically ill patients receiving anticoagulant-free prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy: a single-center, prospective, self-controlled pilot study.

BackgroundCritically ill patients requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) are at risk of disease-related bleeding. Systemic heparinization should be avoided. AN69ST, a polyethyleneimine-treated polyacrylonitrile (AN69) membrane hemofilter, can be primed with heparin, improving its local anticoagulative activity. Prolonged intermittent RRT (PI-RRT) is of shorter duration and cheaper, considered as an alternative to continuous RRT. This study was performed to compare the success rate of anticoagulant-free PI-RRT using AN69ST versus AN69 membrane hemofilter. We also evaluated risk factors for f

A 65-year-old male with a 25-year history of chronic alcoholism presented to the emergency department for a two-week history of non-radiating right upper quadrant abdominal pain associated with pruritus, nausea, coffee-ground emesis, and clay-colored stools. The exam was notable for icteric sclera, right upper quadrant abdominal tenderness, ascites, and hepatomegaly. Initial workup revealed new-onset unexplained elevated liver enzyme. The CT scan revealed diffuse liver cirrhosis, periportal lymphadenopathy, and stigmata of portal hypertension including hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, and varices.

Prognostic value of nutritional and functional screening instruments for mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies.

PurposeFunctional and nutritional impairments adversely affect outcomes in hematologic malignancies; however, the comparative prognostic value of widely available screening instruments remains insufficiently explored. The present study aimed to examine the association between nutritional and functional screening instruments and 12-month mortality in hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies.MethodsIn this prospective cohort of 91 patients (median age 53 years [IQR, 35-61]), nutritional screening and assessment tools (PG-SGA, GLIM criteria) and functional screening instruments (SARC-F

Biodegradable tracheal stents: our ten-year experience with adult patients.

BACKGROUND: Biodegradable (BD) stents made from polydioxanone have been used only in human airways. These stents combine the advantages of classical tracheal stents, and fewer side effects are expected due to their biocompatibility and their time-limited presence in airways. However, new clinical consequences have arisen. Here, the authors share their experiences with BD stents for tracheal indications, focusing on their safety and efficacy. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of a collected database of adult patients who underwent implantation of biodegradable tracheal stents between Se

Potential role of comprehensive dental care in preventing medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ): a single centre study.

OBJECTIVE: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw bones (MRONJ) is a well-known complication of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. Since the first report, more occurrences of MRONJ have been described worldwide. Dental extraction has been described by many studies as one of the risk factors for MRONJ. Comprehensive dental care (CDC) is a preventive dental method provided to patients prior to drug commencement. This study aims to determine the association between CDC and MRONJ. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 75 medical records of patients on antireso

Symptom burden and health-related quality of life six months after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cancer survivors with pelvic radiation injuries

Abstract Purpose Late radiation tissue injuries (LRTIs) after treatment for pelvic cancer may impair health related quality of life (HRQoL). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an adjuvant therapy for LRTIs, but limited studied. The aim of this study was to explore the development and association between symptoms of LRTI and HRQoL following hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Methods A pretest–posttest design was used to evaluate the changes in pelvic LRTIs and HRQoL from baseline (T1), immediately after treatment (T2) and at six-month follow-up (T3). EPIC and EORTC-QLQ-C30 were used to assess LRTIs and HRQ

The Pathophysiology and Treatment of Pyoderma Gangrenosum-Current Options and New Perspectives.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon inflammatory dermatological disorder characterized by painful ulcers that quickly spread peripherally. The pathophysiology of PG is not fully understood; however, it is most commonly considered a disease in the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses. The treatment of PG remains challenging due to the lack of generally accepted therapeutic guidelines. Existing therapeutic methods focus on limiting inflammation through the use of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies. Recently, several reports have indicated the successful use of biologic drugs an

Bridging Perspectives: How Canadian Patients and Caregivers View Quality of Life in Multiple Myeloma Compared to Validated Instruments.

Background: Validated patient- and caregiver-reported outcome (PRO and CRO) questionnaires are widely used to assess quality of life (QoL) in multiple myeloma (MM). However, most were developed before recent therapeutic advances that have modified disease trajectories and may no longer fully reflect patients' and caregivers' experiences. Methods: A Canadian cross-sectional observational study was conducted in collaboration with the PROxy Network and Myeloma Canada. Patients with MM completed the EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-MY20, EQ-5D-5L, and ESAS-R questionnaires and caregivers of patients with

Оценка и лечение агрессивного сексуального поведения: нынешние ограничения и потенциальные стратегии.

Несмотря на то, что в МКБ-11 была введена соответствующая классификация и симптоматика расстройства сексуального поведения (CSBD) по-прежнему противоречива. В этом обзоре мы изучили историю, эпидемиологический статус-кво, коморбиды, теории нейрофизики, текущие диагнозы и рекомендации по лечению для CSBD. Кроме того, мы подчеркнули недостатки текущих исследований и перспективы будущей работы. Селективные ингибиторы серотонина и налтрексон обычно используются в качестве "немаркированных" наркотиков. Диагностика и лечение пациентов, проходящих курс лечения, должны включать в себя биологические, п

Alliance A061202: ixazomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone for patients with lenalidomide-refractory MM in first relapse.

AbstractOptimal therapy for the growing number of patients with lenalidomide (LEN)-refractory multiple myeloma in their first relapse remains poorly defined. We therefore undertook a randomized phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining the oral proteasome inhibitor ixazomib (IXA) with pomalidomide (POM) and dexamethasone (DEX) in this patient population. The overall response rate (ORR) for POM-DEX was 43.6%, and for IXA-POM-DEX, it was 63.2%. The depth of response, measured by the attainment of at least a very good partial response, favored triplet therapy over doublet the

Identification and assessment of differentially expressed necroptosis long non-coding RNAs associated with periodontitis in human.

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is the most common oral disease and is closely related to immune infiltration in the periodontal microenvironment and its poor prognosis is related to the complex immune response. The progression of periodontitis is closely related to necroptosis, but there is still no systematic study of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) associated with necroptosis for diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Transcriptome data and clinical data of periodontitis and healthy populations were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and necroptosis-r
