Vertebroplasty in patients with multiple myeloma with vertebral compression fractures: protocol for a single-blind randomised controlled trial.

INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell cancer where about 1/3 of the patients present with pathological fractures at the time of diagnosis. Despite treatment, the majority of the patients will develop additional fractures. Because survival and prognosis has improved significantly over the last two decades for patients with MM, there is an increased need to focus on optimal fracture treatment. Traditionally, fracture pain is treated conservatively with opioids, bisphosphonates, bracing and radiation therapy. Vertebral augmentation has been used for the last three decades as a mini

Circadian rhythm-guided cellular therapy in hematologic malignancies: mechanisms, clinical evidence, and optimization strategies.

Circadian rhythms are endogenous 24-hour timing systems that coordinate hematopoiesis and immune function through central and peripheral clocks. Increasing evidence indicates that the initiation and progression of hematologic malignancies are frequently accompanied by circadian disruption, which not only contributes to malignant transformation and disease progression but also anti-tumor immunity and variable treatment responses. Cellular therapies, particularly hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), have emerged as transformative mo

Acute interstitial nephritis - a reappraisal and update.

Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is an under recognized and under diagnosed cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). It is estimated to account for 15 - 20% of cases of AKI; it is the reported diagnosis in 2.8% of all kidney biopsies, and 13.5% of biopsies done specifically for acute renal failure. Considerable evidence implicates antigen initiated cell-mediated injury in the pathogenesis of AIN. Drugs account for 70% of all cases, with over 150 different agents incriminated. The remaining cases are due to infections, autoimmune diseases, and rarely idiopathic. The central component of renal inju
