Post hip fracture orthogeriatric care-a Canadian position paper addressing challenges in care and strategies to meet quality indicators.

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis is a major disease state associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Less than half of the individuals sustaining a low energy hip fracture are diagnosed and treated for the underlying osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: A multidisciplinary Canadian hip fracture working group has developed practical recommendations to meet Canadian quality indicators in post hip fracture care. METHODS: A comprehensive narrative review was conducted to identify and synthesize key articles on post hip fracture orthogeriatric care for each of the individual sections

Воздействие витамина D на здоровье: данные исследований человека.

Добавление витамина D может предотвратить и вылечить диетический сверчок у младенцев и детей. Предклинические и наблюдательные данные свидетельствуют о том, что эндокринная система витамина D имеет широкий спектр скелетных и внесеталлических функций. Существует консенсус в отношении того, что острая нехватка витамина D (семня) 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) <30 nмоль/л) следует исправить, в то время как в большинстве руководящих принципов рекомендуется использовать сыворотку 25OHD концентраций в сыворотке. >50 nмоль/л для оптимального состояния костей у пожилых людей.

Gaucher disease, state of the art and perspectives.

Knowledge about Gaucher disease (GD), considered a model for rare diseases, has considerably increased since its discovery. The pathophysiology of this lysosomal disorder is better known, and specific therapies that can control many aspects of the disease have been developed, particularly for the most common form, Type 1 GD. Yet, in part because of the rarity of GD, but also because of a lack of awareness by physicians, diagnostic delay too often leads to a belated management of patients having accumulated comorbidities. Gaucher cells, the most visible consequence of glucocerebrosidase deficie

A genetic variant in the IL-17 promoter is functionally associated with acute graft-versus-host disease after unrelated bone marrow transplantation.

Interleukin IL-17 is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs2275913, in the promoter region of the IL-17 gene is associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis. When we examined the impact of rs2275913 in a cohort consisting of 438 pairs of patients and their unrelated donors transplanted through the Japan Marrow Donor Program, the donor IL-17 197A allele was found to be associated with a higher risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; hazard ratio [HR], 1.46; 95% confidence

Cancer, immune suppression and Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19): Need to manage drug safety (French Society for Oncology Pharmacy [SFPO] guidelines).

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting our health environment. As expected, studies highlighted the great susceptibility of cancer patients to COVID-19 and more severe complications, leading oncologists to deeply rethink patient cancer care. This review is dedicated to the optimization of care pathways and therapeutics in cancer patients during the pandemic and aims to discuss successive issues. First we focused on the international guidelines proposing adjustments and alternative options to cancer care in order to limit hospital admission and cytopenic treatment in cancer p

Chronic dysimmune neuropathies: Beyond chronic demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

The spectrum of chronic dysimmune neuropathies has widened well beyond chronic demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Pure motor (multifocal motor neuropathy), sensorimotor with asymmetrical involvement (multifocal acquired demylinating sensory and motor neuropathy), exclusively distal sensory (distal acquired demyelinating sensory neuropathy) and very proximal sensory (chronic immune sensory polyradiculopathy) constitute the variants of CIDP. Correct diagnosis of these entities is of importance in terms of initiation of appropriate therapy as well as prognostication of these patients. T

Recurrent Syncope, a Clue in Amyloid Cardiomyopathy.

Infiltrative cardiomyopathies include a variety of disorders that lead to myocardial thickening resulting in a constellation of clinical manifestations and eventually heart failure that could be the first clue to reach the diagnosis. Among the more described infiltrative diseases of the heart is amyloid cardiomyopathy. The disease usually presents with subtle, nonspecific symptoms. Herein, we illustrate a case of recurrent syncope as the initial presenting symptom for systemic amyloid with polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy as a cause of syncope. The article illustrates the role of advanced car

Baseline immunonutritional status drives CAR T-cell efficacy, survival, and safety in R/R lymphoma: validation of a pre-lymphodepletion PNI threshold.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory (R/R) lymphoma. However, heterogeneous responses and treatment-related toxicities remain significant challenges. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), reflecting both nutritional status and systemic immune competence, has emerged as a potential biomarker in various malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the PNI assessed specifically prior to lymphodepletion in patients with R/R lymphoma receiving CAR T-cell therapy. We retrospectively analyzed 449 pati

Therapeutic plasma exchange as rescue therapy in severe sepsis and septic shock: retrospective observational single-centre study of 23 patients.

BackgroundSeveral case series and small randomized controlled trials suggest that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) improves coagulation, hemodynamics and possibly survival in severe sepsis. However, the exact role of TPE in modern sepsis therapy remains unclear.MethodsWe performed a retrospective observational single-centre study on the use of TPE as rescue therapy in 23 consecutive patients with severe sepsis or septic shock from 2005 to 2012. Main surrogate markers of multiple organ failure (MOF) before, during and after TPE as well as survival rates are reported.ResultsAt baseline, mean SO

Acute Kidney Injury in Monoclonal Gammopathies.

Monoclonal gammopathies (MG) encompass a variety of disorders related to clonal expansion and/or malignant transformation of B lymphocytes. Deposition of free immunoglobulin (Ig) components (light or heavy chains, LC/HC) within the kidney during MG may result over time in multiple types and degrees of injury, including acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is generally a consequence of tubular obstruction by luminal aggregates of LC, a pattern known as "cast nephropathy". Monoclonal Ig LC can also be found as intracellular crystals in glomerular podocytes or proximal tubular cells. Proliferative glom

Изменения в профилях нейтрофильных мРНК в множестве склерозов и идентификации потенциальных генов для дальнейшего исследования.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Множественный склероз (MS) является хроническим и изнурительным воспалительным заболеванием центральной нервной системы (КНС), характеризующимся демиэлированием и нейродегенерацией. Появляющиеся данные свидетельствуют о наличии нейтрофилов в патогенезе MS, особенно в рамках таких процессов, как образование нейтрофильных внеклеточных ловушек (NETs) и дегрануляция, которые могут усилить воспаление и автонепроницаемость. МЕТОДЫ: Секвенирование последовательности периферийных нейтрофилов крови у пациентов с синдромом MS и здоровый контроль выявили дифференциально выраженные гены (DEGs).

Efficacy and safety of modified Bushen Yiqi formulas (MBYF) as an add-on to formoterol and budesonide in the management of COPD: study protocol for a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial: FB-MBYF Trial.

BackgroundInhaled glucocorticoid corticosteroid (ICS), long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonist (LABA), and other drugs have limited therapeutic effects on COPD with significant individual differences. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-modified Bushen Yiqi formula (MBYF) demonstrates advantages in COPD management in China. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MBYF as an add-on to budesonide/formoterol in COPD patients and confirm the related genes affecting the therapeutic effect in the treatment of COPD.MethodsIn this multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pa

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Etiology-Based Therapeutic Options.

Determining the etiologies of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can be challenging due to the similarities of the different manifestations in clinical presentation and morphological features. Depending on the underlying cause, not only left ventricular mass but also left ventricular cavity size, or both, may increase. Patients with LVH remain asymptomatic for a few years, but disease progression will lead to the development of systolic or diastolic dysfunction and end-stage heart failure. As hypertrophied cardiac muscle disrupts normal conduction, LVH predisposes to arrhythmias. Distinguishin

Impact of ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone therapy on overall survival in multiple myeloma patients: Analysis of the emerging-markets subgroup of the TOURMALINE-MM1 trial.

Ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (ixazomib-Rd) showed clinical efficacy over placebo-Rd in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) in the TOURMALINE-MM1 trial. Over a median follow-up of ∼85 months, as patients showed disease progression, they received subsequent novel therapies that confounded the overall survival (OS) benefit. Here, we conducted a post hoc analysis in 148 patients from seven countries defined as emerging markets, with limited access to novel therapies for MM during the trial period, to describe the impact of these therapies on OS. Patients were randomised

Amyloidosis: A Rare Cause of Severe Cholestasis and Acute Liver Failure.

Although hepatic involvement in light chain-associated amyloidosis is common, clinical manifestations of hepatic amyloidosis are rare. In most cases, hepatomegaly serves as a clue to diagnosis. We report a unique case of a 48-year-old man from China with jaundice and noncirrhotic portal hypertension, with rapidly progressive liver failure, in the absence of hepatomegaly, secondary to systemic light chain-associated amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma.

Daratumumab Improves Bone Turnover in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma; Phase 2 Study "REBUILD".

Biomarkers of bone turnover in serum are suggestive of bone dynamics during treatment in multiple myeloma (MM). We evaluated the role of daratumumab on bone remodeling among patients with relapsed/refractory MM in the prospective, open-label, phase 2 study REBUILD. Daratumumab was administered according to the approved indication. A total of 33 out of 57 enrolled patients completed 4 months of treatment. The median percent change from baseline to 4 months in C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) (primary endpoint) was 3.9%, with 13 (39.4%) and 11 (33.3%) patients showin

The Treatment Gap in Osteoporosis.

Worldwide, there are millions of people who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, a bone disease that increases the risk of fracture due to low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone architecture. In the US alone, there are approximately ten million men and women diagnosed with osteoporosis and this number is still growing. Diagnosis is made by measuring bone mineral density. Medications used for the treatment of osteoporosis are bisphosphonates, denosumab, raloxifene, and teriparatide. Recently, romosozumab has been added as well. In recent years, a number of advances have been made
