Malnutrition-related hyperammonemic encephalopathy presenting with burst suppression: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Hyperammonemia is a common cause of metabolic encephalopathy, mainly related to hepatic cirrhosis. Numerous nonhepatic etiologies exist but they are infrequent and not well known, thus, leading to misdiagnosis and inadequate care. Electroencephalography has a proven diagnostic and prognostic role in comatose patients. Burst suppression is a preterminal pattern found in deep coma states and is rarely associated with metabolic causes. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of an 81-year-old Caucasian man presenting with rapidly progressive somnolence and mutism. Soon after his arriva

Влияние ориентированной на семью gamification на самоуправление людьми с множественным склерозом: протокол исследования смешанных методов.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Множественный склероз (МС) является хроническим заболеванием центральной нервной системы, которое затрагивает миллионы людей во всем мире, в том числе людей в Иране. Она затрагивает главным образом молодежь, что приводит к возникновению биопсихосоциальных проблем с непредсказуемыми симптомами. Самоуправление имеет решающее значение, но сопряжено с трудностями из-за отсутствия окончательного лечения. Новые подходы, такие, как медико-санитарные меры, в частности gamification, направлены на более эффективное привлечение пациентов. Хорошо продуманная gamification может оказать позитивное

Imaging of abdominal and pelvic infections in the cancer patient.

Infections are the most commonly encountered complications in patients with cancer. The classical signs and symptoms of infections are often not present in this patient population, which makes the diagnosis more challenging. Host factors play a major role in the development and prognosis of infections in cancer patients; these can be related to the underlying type of malignancy (solid organ versus hematological), tumor burden, anatomic obstruction, altered integrity of barriers (skin or mucosa), treatment-related factors (from chemotherapy, radiation treatment, surgery, interventional procedur

TMED2/9/10 Serve as Biomarkers for Poor Prognosis in Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma.

Background: Head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with high incidence and poor prognosis. Transmembrane emp24 structural domain (TMED) proteins are involved in protein transport and vesicle budding processes, which have implicated various malignancies' progression. However, the roles of TMEDs in HNSC, especially in terms of development and prognosis, have not been fully elucidated. Methods: We applied TIMER 2.0, UALCAN, GEPIA 2, Kaplan-Meier plotter, GEO, The Human Protein Atlas (HPA), cBioPortal, Linkedomics, Metascape, GRNdb, STRING, and Cytoscape

Can type 1 diabetes be an unexpected complication of obesity?

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases, characterized by absolute insulin deficiency caused via inflammatory destruction of the pancreatic β-cell. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors play a role in the development of diseases. Almost ⅕ of cases involve people under the age of 20. In recent years, the incidence of both T1D and obesity has been increasing, especially among children, adolescents, and young people. In addition, according to the latest study, the prevalence of overweight or obesity in people with T1D has increased significantly. The r

Real-practice management and treatment of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease with siltuximab: a collection of clinical experiences.

Castleman disease (CD) is a group of lymphoproliferative disorders that share common histopathological features yet have widely different aetiologies, clinical features and grades of severity as well as treatments and outcomes. Siltuximab is currently the only therapy approved by the FDA and EMA for idiopathic multicentric CD and is recommended as first-line therapy in treatment guidelines. Despite the extensive characterization of siltuximab treatment in clinical trials, available evidence from real-world practice is still scant. This collection of clinical experiences focuses on patients tre

Deciphering the Causal Relationship between Sodium-glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibition and Cancer Risks: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study.

Background: Controversy persists regarding the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cancer. The underlying causal relationship remains unclear. Method: A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) strategy was employed to investigate the causal associations between SGLT2 inhibitors and 26 site-specific malignancies. Instrumental variants strongly associated with SLC5A2 gene expression and glycated hemoglobin A1c levels were identified as the genetic proxy for SGLT2 inhibition. Cancer-related outcome datasets sourced from the OpenGWAS project were separated into discover

Gut-Bone Axis: A Non-Negligible Contributor to Periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infectious disease characterized by alveolar bone loss. Systemic diseases or local infections, such as diabetes, postmenopausal osteoporosis, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease, promote the development and progression of periodontitis. Accumulating evidences have revealed the pivotal effects of gut microbiota on bone health via gut-alveolar-bone axis. Gut pathogens or metabolites may translocate to distant alveolar bone via circulation and regulate bone homeostasis. In addition, gut pathogens can induce aberrant gut immune responses and subsequent homing o

Acquired platelet disorders.

Platelets are essential to primary hemostasis, and defects in their number or function can lead to clinically significant bleeding or thrombosis. Acquired platelet disorders are far more common than the inherited forms and arise in a wide range of settings, including drug exposure, autoimmune, systemic, and critical illnesses. This review examines current understanding of the mechanisms driving acquired platelet dysfunction and outlines the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that are shaping contemporary standards of care. Drug-related and immune-mediated platelet defects remain the most re

This study aimed to describe plain computed tomography (CT)- and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)-based conventional imaging features and texture analysis characteristics of CDRAP.MethodsA total of 62 patients with initial clinical and/or biochemical evidence of pancreatitis and 34 patients with normal pancreatic manifestations who underwent CT during chemotherapy were retrospectively included. The diagnosis of CDRAP was established based on clinical,

Vertebral body density role in determining vertebral osteoporotic fracture type and its progression.

Vertebral osteoporotic fractures (VOF) are among the most frequent fractures in the elderly, often leading to an impaired lifestyle and a high economic burden. Although a reduced bone mass density is considered one of the main risk factors for VOF, its role in determining the fracture type, using the AO spine-DGOU classification for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, as well as its progression, is unknown. The current study aimed to: (1) reveal whether the bone density of the vertebral bodies of fractured and non-fractured vertebrae predicts the type of fracture, (2) examine whether bone de

Geriatric assessment for the practicing clinician: The why, what, and how.

Older adults with cancer heterogeneously experience health care, treatment, and symptoms. Geriatric assessment (GA) offers a comprehensive evaluation of an older individual's health status and can predict cancer-related outcomes in individuals with solid tumors and those with hematologic malignancies. In the last decade, randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefits of GA and GA management (GAM), which uses GA information to provide tailored intervention strategies to address GA impairments (e.g., implementing physical therapy for impaired physical function). Multiple phase 3 cli

Association of Epistatic Effects of lncRNA GAS5, miR-146a, IRAK-1, and miR-155 Genetic Variants with Multiple Sclerosis Risk and Severity.

The complex genetic architecture of heritability in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains undisclosed mainly. Epistasis (gene-gene interaction) substantially impacts MS; however, it is largely unexplored, especially among the non-coding RNA genes and their targets. The long non-coding RNA GAS5 exacerbates demyelination and sponges miR-146a and miR-155, impeccable contributors to MS pathogenesis. miR-146a negatively regulates the immune responses by targeting IRAK-1. We investigated the association of epistatic effects and haplotypes of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), GAS5 rs2067079, miR

How to Use a Prioritised Approach for Treating Hematological Disorders During the COVID-19 Pandemic in India?

The current pandemic coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is known to cause severe infection (COVID-19) in patients with comorbidities, particularly cancer or an immunosuppressed state. Most healthcare systems in the country are likely to be overwhelmed soon if the pandemic moves to a stage of community transmission. Currently, limited evidence is available for managing patients with hematological disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current review summarises the possible challenges clinicians are likely to face, key considerations to guide decision making, and possible solutions to the anticipated
