Bone Marrow Findings in Patients With Renal Disease: Experience of a Single Tertiary Care Center in Bihar.

Background This study aimed to characterize bone marrow findings in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Bihar, India, and to identify correlations between these findings and patients' clinical presentations and hematological parameters. Specifically, this study aimed to (1) document the prevalence and patterns of bone marrow abnormalities in CKD patients, (2) analyze associations between bone marrow findings and CKD stages, and (3) investigate relationships between bone marrow changes and hematological parameters, including anemia severity and morphology. Methodology A retrospective,

Parathyroid Adenoma as a Rare Cause of Persistent Hypercalcemia in a Female with Polycythemia Vera.

Polycythemia vera is one of the myeloproliferative neoplasms that is distinguished by the uncontrolled production of blood cells and an increased red cell mass due to acquired JAK2 mutation. It has many complications and it might increase the risk of other tumors. However, it does not cause hypercalcemia and is rarely associated with parathyroid adenoma. Here, we report on a 64-year-old female with polycythemia vera found to have hypercalcemia due to parathyroid adenoma.

Case Report: Lenalidomide as a novel maintenance therapy for metastatic follicular dendritic cell sarcoma.

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare, low- to intermediate-grade malignancy arising from mesenchymal-derived follicular dendritic cells, which can also present with high-grade pathological features and may rapidly become fatal. Conventional therapeutic strategies, primarily consisting of surgical resection with adjunctive systemic chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine-docetaxel, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, or other regimens, remain inconsistently effective, with median survival notably reduced in advanced or recurrent disease. Given the limited therapeutic options and frequent relapse,

The diagnostic role of complete MICM-P in metastatic carcinoma of bone marrow (MCBM) presented with atypical symptoms: A 7-year retrospective study of 45 cases in a single center.

Metastatic carcinoma of bone marrow (MCBM) tends to present with atypical symptoms and can be easily misdiagnosed or miss diagnosed. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical-pathological and hematological characteristics of MCBM patients in order to develop strategies for early detection, staging, treatment selection and prognosis predicting. We retrospectively analyzed 45 patients with MCBM diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy in our hospital during the past 7 years. The clinical symptoms, hemogram and myelogram features, Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining

Indolent systemic mastocytosis limited to the bone: a case report and review of the literature.

CONTEXT Systemic mastocytosis is defined as a clonal disorder of mast cells and their precursor cells and is currently classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm. Its clinical course has a wide spectrum, ranging from indolent disease, with normal life expectancy, to highly aggressive disease, associated with multisystemic involvement and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to report a case of indolent systemic mastocytosis, focusing on the diagnostic challenges, with a review of the literature. CASE REPORT A 79-year-old Caucasian woman with osteoporosis was evaluated at the Emerg

The Reporting, Use, and Validity of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma in Clinical Trials: A Systematic Literature Review.

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are becoming increasingly important in supporting clinical outcomes in clinical trials. In multiple myeloma (MM), PRO measurement is useful to reveal how treatment affects physical, psychosocial, and functional behaviour as well as symptoms and treatment-related adverse events to evaluate the benefit-risk ratio of a particular drug or drug combination. We report the types of PRO instruments used in MM, the frequency in which they are utilised in randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and the consistency of their reporting. METHODS: The European Hemat

Randomised controlled trials evaluating anticancer therapies in haematological cancers: an overview of global research activity.

BackgroundDesign, results, and interpretation of oncology randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have changed substantially over the past decade. In this study, we describe all RCTs evaluating anticancer therapies in haematological cancers published globally during 2014-2017 with comparisons with solid tumours RCTs.MethodsA PubMed literature search identified all phase 3 RCTs of anticancer therapy for haematological cancers and solid tumours published globally during 2014-2017. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare RCT design results, and output

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

The Power of Extracellular Vesicles in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: "Crafting" a Microenvironment That Matters.

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are acquired clonal disorders of the hematopoietic stem cells and include Essential Thrombocythemia, Polycythemia Vera and Myelofibrosis. MPN are characterized by mutations in three driver genes (JAK2, CALR and MPL) and by a state of chronic inflammation. Notably, MPN patients experience increased risk of thrombosis, disease progression, second neoplasia and evolution to acute leukemia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of microparticles with a role in cell-cell communication. The EV-mediated cross-talk occurs via the trafficking of

Risk Factors of Death in Bloodstream Infections Caused by AmpC β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales in Patients with Neoplasia.

PurposeThe infections caused by ESCPM Enterobacterales (Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Citrobacter spp., Providencia spp. and Morganella spp.) have limited therapeutic options. Patients with neoplastic diseases are particularly vulnerable to bloodstream infections (BSIs).ObjectiveTo analyze determinant factors of death in patients with neoplasia complicated with BSI caused by ESCPM Enterobacterales.Patients and methodsA cohort study of patients aged 18 years or older with neoplasia and BSI due to ESCPM group was conducted at the Cancer Hospital I of the National Cancer Institute, Brazil, fr

Pathology Competencies in Medical Education and Educational Cases: Update 2023.

Pathology is a core component of medical school curricula because understanding the pathogenesis of the disease is foundational both for diagnostic efficiency and optimal use of ancillary resources in patient care. The Pathology Competencies for Medical Education (PCME) were developed as a national resource of expectations of pathology knowledge for medical students. The PCME are composed of three competencies: disease mechanisms and processes, organ system pathology, and diagnostic pathology and therapeutic pathology. The learning goals and learning objectives of the PCME that were first publ

Are patients with high-risk polycythemia vera receiving cytoreductive medications? A retrospective analysis of real-world data.

BackgroundPatients with polycythemia vera (PV) have a higher mortality risk compared with the general population, primarily driven by cardiovascular disease, thrombotic events (TEs), and hematologic transformations. The goal of risk-adapted therapy in PV is prevention of TEs. Current treatment recommendations indicate that high-risk patients (aged ≥ 60 years and/or with history of TEs) should be managed with cytoreductive medications, phlebotomy, and low-dose aspirin. This noninterventional study was conducted to describe real-world cytoreductive medication treatment in adult patients with PV,

Advancing Palliative Care Integration in Hematology: Building Upon Existing Evidence.

Opinion statementPatients with hematologic malignancies and their families are among the most distressed of all those with cancer. Despite high palliative care-related needs, the integration of palliative care in hematology is underdeveloped. The evidence is clear that the way forward includes standard-of-care PC integration into routine hematologic malignancy care to improve patient and caregiver outcomes. As the PC needs for patients with blood cancer vary significantly by disease, a disease-specific PC integration strategy is needed, allowing for serious illness care interventions to be ind

Incidence, mortality and survival in multiple myeloma compared to other hematopoietic neoplasms in Sweden up to year 2016.

Survival in multiple myeloma (MM) has developed favorably over the past decades for reasons that have been ascribed to new medications and treatment. However, development of survival over a long period and comparison to other hematopoietic neoplasms (HN) is less well known. Here we used Swedish cancer data from the Nordcan database, spanning a 50-year period from 1967 to 2016, and analyzed 1- and 5-year survival data. As a novel type of analysis we calculate the difference in survival between year 1 and 5 which indicates how well survival was maintained in the 4-year period following year 1 af

Identification of Novel Risk Variants of Inflammatory Factors Related to Myeloproliferative Neoplasm: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.

Epidemiological and experimental evidence has linked chronic inflammation to the etiology of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). However, it remains unclear whether genetic associations with specific inflammatory biomarkers are causal or due to bias. This study aimed to assess the effect of C-reactive protein (CRP) and systemic inflammatory regulators on MPN within a bidirectional Mendelian randomization design. Genetic associations with MPN were derived from a publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) comprising 1,086 cases and 407,155 controls of European ancestry. Additionally,

Incidence and risk factors for suicide and attempted suicide following a diagnosis of hematological malignancy.

Solid tumors are associated with an increased risk of suicide, however, there is limited detailed information on the risk of suicide in patients with hematological malignancies. Therefore, we conducted a population-based study including 47,220 patients with hematological malignancies (diagnosed 1992-2006) and their 235,868 matched controls to define the incidence and risk factors for suicide and suicide attempt. Information on suicides, suicide attempts, and preexisting psychiatric disorders was obtained from Swedish registers and individual medical records. There was a twofold increased (haza

Fatigue at baseline is associated with geriatric impairments and represents an adverse prognostic factor in older patients with a hematological malignancy.

Prospective data on fatigue in elderly persons with a hematological malignancy are rare. We aimed to determine the prevalence of fatigue and its association with clinical outcome and geriatric impairments in older individuals newly diagnosed with blood cancer. The EORTC QLQ-C30 and a multidimensional geriatric assessment (MGA) were performed in parallel in 149 consecutive patients aged > 67 years (median 77.8 years) at Innsbruck Medical University between January 2009 and April 2016. Fatigue as defined by EORTC QLQ-C30 was the most prevalent symptom (84%) and was significantly associated with
