The Challenges of Prognosticating Persistent Critical Illness: A Qualitative Study.

BackgroundMedical decision-making in the ICU is influenced by a patient's anticipated clinical course. However, intensivists struggle to identify accurately which patients will experience within-ICU events-such as new late-onset shock or acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF)-that contribute to the development of persistent critical illness (PerCI). Given the uniqueness of patients who experience PerCI, understanding how intensivists process and incorporate evolving clinical information into their prognostication remains unknown for this population.Research questionWhat processes do intensiv

Functional Outcomes of Surgical Management for Spinal Epidural Masses in an Egyptian Tertiary Hospital.

BACKGROUND: The spinal epidural space, covering the dural sac, is located along the posterior longitudinal ligament anteriorly, the ligamentum flavum and the periosteum of laminae posteriorly, and the pedicles of the spinal column by the intervertebral foramina containing their neural elements laterally. It could be affected variably by different types of diseases, either as primary lesions or as an extension from a disease process in the nearby tissues and organs. AIM: We aimed to present clinically and surgically patients with spinal epidural masses operated in the Neurosurgery Department o

Posttraumatic Vernet syndrome without fracture: A case report and short literature review.

RATIONALE: The aim of this case is to emphasize the need to include nerve traction in the differential diagnosis of nerve deficits associated with Vernet syndrome. This mechanism of injury has been described only once, but must not be overlooked and should be considered and included as a possible cause in diagnostic algorithms. PATIENT CONCERNS: A patient presenting with dysphagia, extreme hoarseness, and limited shoulder movement after head injury was admitted to the emergency department. DIAGNOSES: Multidisciplinary evaluation was performed, and nerve traction-induced Vernet syndrome was e

Incidence and management of CAR-T neurotoxicity in patients with multiple myeloma treated with ciltacabtagene autoleucel in CARTITUDE studies.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are highly effective for multiple myeloma (MM) but their impressive efficacy is associated with treatment-related neurotoxicities in some patients. In CARTITUDE-1, 5% of patients with MM reported movement and neurocognitive treatment-emergent adverse events (MNTs) with ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a B-cell maturation antigen-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. We assessed the associated factors for MNTs in CARTITUDE-1. Based on common features, patients who experienced MNTs were characterized by the presence of a combination of at least two v

Grading Central Diabetes Insipidus Induced by Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Challenging Task.

Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a rare endocrine disease deriving from an insufficient production or secretion of anti-diuretic hormone. Recently, CDI has been reported as a rare side effect triggered by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in cancer patients. Despite its current rarity, CDI triggered by ICI is expected to affect an increasing number of patients because of the expanding use of these effective drugs in a growing number of solid and hematologic malignancies. An appropriate assessment of the severity of adverse events induced by anticancer agents is crucial in their management,

Particularities of Neurological Manifestations in Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma: Need for a Multidisciplinary Approach-A Narrative Review.

ATL is a rare but a highly aggressive T-cell neoplasm associated with human T-cell leukemia virus-1 (HTLV-1) infection. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is a oncogenic retrovirus responsible for the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), but also for other non-malignant diseases, such as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). HTLV-1 has a higher prevalence in Japan, the Caribbean, South America, intertropical Africa, Romania, and northern Iran. ATL patients can have an extensive spectrum of neurological manifestations. Numerous factors can be i

Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis: Clinical Features, Differential Diagnosis, and Management.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, acute, severe cutaneous adverse reaction mainly attributed to drugs, although other triggers, including infections, vaccinations, ingestion of various substances, and spider bites, have also been described. AGEP is characterized by the development of edema and erythema followed by the eruption of multiple punctate, non-follicular, sterile pustules and subsequent desquamation. AGEP typically has a rapid onset and prompt resolution within a few weeks. The differential diagnoses for AGEP are broad and include infectious, inflammatory, a

Клиническая презентация и результаты нетрадиционных инфекций сальмонеллы у больных раком.

КОЛИЧЕСТВО: Считается, что инфекция сальмонеллы (NTS) является более острой у раковых больных, однако она не изучалась с момента разработки новых методов лечения рака, повышения сопротивляемости антибиотикам и введения новых антибиотиков. Мы пытались описать демографические характеристики, микробиологические результаты, клинические проявления и последствия инфекций НТС у раковых пациентов в нашем учреждении. Мы изучили данные микробиологических лабораторий и выявили пациентов с раком, у которых в период с января были обнаружены организмы NTS. 1, 2000 и декабрь 31, 2013, в центре рака в Хьюстон

Multiple myeloma with intracranial and spinal intradural metastasis: A case report.

Multiple myeloma is a hematopoietic cancer that is multicentric and most commonly involves the spine. Multiple myeloma with extraosseous and intradural involvement is an extremely rare condition. Here we present a rare case of spinal multiple myeloma with intracranial and spinal intradural metastasis causing lumbar spinal nerve compression. We present a 60-year-old woman with progressive weakness of the lower limbs for several weeks. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a leptomeningeal tumor with nodularity spreading within the cauda equina. Examination of the brain using MRI showed

Infiltrative and inflammatory systemic disorders involving the pituitary gland.

The hypothalamic-pituitary region can be affected by a wide and heterogeneous group of infiltrative and inflammatory disorders, including granulomatous, histiocytic, storage, infectious, non-pituitary neoplastic, and autoimmune or inflammatory conditions collectively grouped as hypophysitis. Although individually rare, these disorders are increasingly recognized due to growing awareness, wider use of pituitary imaging, and the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced hypophysitis. They typically present with hypopituitarism (often including arginine vasopressin deficiency, which, parti

Hypophosphatemic rickets: diagnosis and treatment.

Hypophosphatemicrickets (HR) represents a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by renal phosphate wasting, impaired bone mineralization, and skeletal deformities. This narrative review provides an overview of phosphate homeostasis and the molecular mechanisms underlying HR, focusing on the role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) in regulating renal phosphate use and vitamin D metabolism. The clinical, biochemical, and genetic features of both FGF23-dependent and -independent forms of HR are discussed, including X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic

Calcium Phosphate Ceramics Can Prevent Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.

Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), a post-surgical non-healing wound condition, is one of the most common side effects in patients treated with nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates. Its physiopathology has been related with suppression of bone turnover, of soft tissue healing and infection. Biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP) are used as a drug delivery vehicle and as a bone substitute in surgical wounds. Due to their capacity to adsorb zoledronate, it was hypothesized these compounds might have a protective effect on the soft tissues in BRONJ wounds. To address this hypo
