Correlation between serum bilirubin, blood uric acid, and C-reactive protein and the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between serum bilirubin, blood uric acid, and C-reactive protein (CRP) and the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsPatients with COPD who were admitted to our hospital between March 2020 and March 2023 were retrospectively studied. Based on whether their condition progressed to the acute exacerbation stage, they were divided into an exacerbation group (100 cases) and a stability group (100 cases). The clinical data from both groups were analysed to assess the correlations between serum bilirubin, blood uric acid, CRP, and the seve

Клинические 7 Тесла магнитный резонансный снимок: воздействие и ценность пациента в неврологических расстройствах.

Магнитный резонансный снимок (MRI) является краеугольным камнем неинвазивной диагностики и контроля за лечением, особенно в случае заболеваний центральной нервной системы. Хотя 1.5- и 3 Тесла (Т) сильные стороны поля остаются клиническим стандартом, появление 7 МРТ представляет собой преобразующий шаг вперед, предлагающий высокое пространственное разрешение, контраст и чувствительность для визуализации нейроанатомии, метаболизма и функции. Последние нововведения, включая параллельную передачу и глубокую реконструкцию на основе накопленного опыта, позволили решить многие ранее возникшие техниче

CRISPR application in hematological disorders: from bench to bedside.

AbstractClustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein genome editing has advanced from an experimental tool to a clinically validated therapeutic platform in hematology. Landmark successes in inherited blood diseases, including sickle cell disease, β-thalassemia, and severe combined immunodeficiency, have demonstrated that precise and durable genetic modifications can be safely and effectively implemented in human hematopoietic cells, positioning hematology at the forefront of translational genome editing. Beyond monogenic disease, CRISPR-based approache

The European Medicines Agency Review of Carfilzomib for the Treatment of Adult Patients with Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received at Least One Prior Therapy.

On November 19, 2015, a marketing authorization valid through the European Union was issued for carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least one prior therapy.In a phase III trial in patients with relapsed MM, median progression-free survival (PFS) for patients treated with carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (CRd) was 26.3 months versus 17.6 months for those receiving lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone (hazard ratio = 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.57-0.83

Laboratory Identification of Pseudohypercalcemia Induced by Hyperglobulinemia in Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report.

BackgroundPseudohypercalcemia is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice, potentially leading to unnecessary interventions. Multiple myeloma (MM) presenting with concurrent hypergammaglobulinemia represents a rare etiology of pseudohypercalcemia, and there are few reports of systematic laboratory validation of this pathological entity.MethodsWe report a patient with MM who presented with markedly elevated serum total calcium on routine biochemical testing. The hypercalcemia persisted despite 1 month of calcitonin therapy administered at an external hospital. After admission, the clinical labo

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma originating from the maxillary sinus with skin metastases: A case report and review of literature.

BackgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of malignant lymphoma (ML), accounting for 30%-40% of cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in adults. Primary paranasal sinus lymphoma is a rare presentation of extranodal NHL that accounts for only 0.17% of all lymphomas. ML from the maxillary sinus (MS) is a particularly rare presentation, and is thus often difficult to diagnose. We have reported the first known case of DLBCL originating from the MS with rapidly occurrent multiple skin metastasis.Case summaryAn 81-year-old Japanese man visited our hospital due to contin

Real-Life Experience With First-Line Therapy Bortezomib Plus Melphalan and Prednisone in Elderly Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Ineligible for High Dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation.

Introduction: Currently, the regimen with bortezomib plus melphalan and prednisone (VMP) is a standard treatment for multiple myeloma and it is recommended as the first-line therapy for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation. Objectives: Participants of the clinical trial are highly selected populations; therefore, the aim of this study was to present observations from real practice that can provide important information for practitioners and to investigate clinical outcomes of VMP regimen in elderly patients with new

Radiomics Models Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Prediction of the Response to Bortezomib-Based Therapy in Patients with Multiple Myeloma.

PurposeTo identify significant radiomics features based on MRI and establish effective models for predicting the response to bortezomib-based regimens.Materials and methodsIn total, 95 MM patients treated with bortezomib-based therapy were enrolled, including 77 with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (BCD) and 18 with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD). Based on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and T2-weighted imaging with fat suppression (T2WI-fs), radiomics features were extracted and then selected. The random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, lo

Causal associations between site-specific cancer and diabetes risk: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

BackgroundBoth cancer and diabetes are complex chronic diseases that have high economic costs for society. The co-occurrence of these two diseases in people is already well known. The causal effects of diabetes on the development of several malignancies have been established, but the reverse causation of these two diseases (e.g., what type of cancer can cause T2D) has been less investigated.MethodsMultiple Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, such as the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, weighted median method, MR-Egger, and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier test, were performed to

Monoclonal Gammopathies and the Bone Marrow Microenvironment: From Bench to Bedside and Then Back Again.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic malignancy characterized by a multistep evolutionary pathway, with an initial phase called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), potentially evolving into the symptomatic disease, often preceded by an intermediate phase called "smoldering" MM (sMM). From a biological point of view, genomic alterations (translocations/deletions/mutations) are already present at the MGUS phase, thus rendering their role in disease evolution questionable. On the other hand, we currently know that changes in the bone marrow microenvironment (TM

Treatment Considerations for Severe Osteoporosis in Older Adults.

Osteoporosis, a chronic metabolic bone disease, increases the predisposition to fragility fractures and is associated with considerable morbidity, high health care cost as well as mortality. An elevation in the rate of incident fragility fractures will be observed proportional with the increase in the number of older people worldwide. Severe osteoporosis is currently defined as having a bone density determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry that is more than 2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the young adult mean with one or more past fractures due to osteoporosis. Nutrition, physical act

How We Approach Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.

The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors' suggested management approaches. The goal of this series is to help readers better understand how to apply the results of key studies, including those published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, to patients seen in their own clinical practice.

Emerging markers of cachexia predict survival in cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: Cachexia may occur in 40% of cancer patients, representing the major cause of death in more than 20% of them. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of leptin, ghrelin and obestatin as diagnostic and predictive markers of cachexia in oncologic patients. Their impact on patient survival was also evaluated. METHODS: 140 adults with different cancer diagnoses were recruited. Thirty healthy volunteers served as control. Serum ghrelin, obestatin and leptin were tested at baseline and after a follow-up period of 18 months. RESULTS: Ghrelin levels were significantly higher in

Review of oncological emergencies in small animal patients.

Oncological emergencies can occur at any time during the course of a malignancy and need to be recognized promptly to maximize successful outcomes. Emergencies are characterized as chemotherapy-induced, paraneoplastic syndromes, or directly related to the neoplasm. Prompt identification with treatment of these emergencies can prolong survival and improve quality of life, even in the setting of terminal illness. This review aims to educate the reader on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment of some of these emergencies, and to review the current veterinary literature to help

Metastatic Spine Disease Alters Vertebral Load-To-Strength Ratios in Cancer Patients Compared to Healthy Individuals.

PurposeThis study investigated the effect of bone metastasis on the biomechanical environment of human vertebrae in patients with metastatic spine disease through the metric of load-to-strength ratio (LSR). Specifically, we compared the patients' LSRs to age and sex-similar noncancer controls from the Framingham Heart Study.MethodsDerived from clinical CT data of 135 metastatic spine disease patients planned for radiotherapy and 246 normative controls from the Framingham Heart Study, individualized spinal musculoskeletal models and vertebral strength estimates were used to compute level-specif

Combined spatial metabolomics and 4D-DIA quantitative proteomics approaches to explore the relationship between lung cancer and the heart.

Lung cancer and cardiovascular disease pose persistent threats to human health, despite advancements in targeted therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, and drug treatments. Challenges such as side effects, drug resistance, hospitalization rates, and mortality remain high. These diseases are closely linked, sharing common risk factors and intricately influencing each other. This study aims to investigate the interplay between lung disease and cardiovascular disease by examining changes in cardiac metabolites and protein expression using spatial metabolomics and 4D-DIA quantitative proteom

Psychometric properties of two physical activity questionnaires, the AQuAA and the PASE, in cancer patients.

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of two self-report physical activity (PA) questionnaires - the AQuAA (Activity Questionnaire for Adults and Adolescents) and PASE (Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly) - in cancer patients.MethodsTest-retest reliability was determined by administering the questionnaires twice within 5 days. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) and smallest detectable difference (SDD) were calculated. Construct validity was determined by comparing the questionnaire results with ActiGraph acceleromete

Протекционный субъект PSMD1 является ключевой терапевтической целью в множестве миеломы.

Мы пришли к выводу, что PSMD1 - ключевой субъект протеиновой регуляционной частицы 19S - был чрезмерно экспрессирован и коррелировал с плохим прогнозом в множестве миеломы (ММ). Генетическое истощение PSMD1 снизило жизнеспособность раковых клеток, вызвало поликутилизированное накопление белка и способствовало апоптозу. Протеомический анализ показал активацию иммунных путей, что свидетельствует о потенциале иммунной модуляции. Нацеливание PSMD1 на незначительную поражающую РНК (SIRNA), доставляемую через липидные наночастицы (LNPs), уменьшило рост опухоли в линиях клеток MM и первичных проб пац
