Busulfan Exposure And Malignancy Risk
Busulfan Exposure And Malignancy Risk Overview The occurrence of secondary malignancies linked to busulfan exposure is deemed low but remains insufficiently characterized. Given the rising use of this alkylating agent in pre-gene therapy conditioning for nonmalignant hematologic disorders, a more precise understanding of busulfan's potential contribution to subsequent malignancy risk is essential.
Insulin Resistance Used To Assess Malignancies In Women
Insulin Resistance Used To Assess Malignancies In Women Overview In this prospective multicenter real-world cohort study involving 571 patients diagnosed with female reproductive system malignancies, the prognostic significance of insulin resistance (IR) and systemic inflammation was investigated. The cohort, with a mean age of 52 years, predominantly comprised individuals with cervical cancer
Thromboembolism Risk In Pregnant Oncology Patients
Thromboembolism Risk In Pregnant Oncology Patients Overview This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnant individuals with active malignancy compared to those without malignancy. The study, based on seven cohort studies encompassing 5,928 individuals with both active malignancy and pregnancy, yielded the following key findings:
Sinus Surgery Effectiveness Compared To Biological Therapies For Rhinosinusitis
Sinus Surgery Effectiveness Compared To Biological Therapies For Rhinosinusitis Overview This systematic review aims to compare the safety and efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) with various biologics in treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in adults by analyzing existing clinical trials. Five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1748 patients were
Fistula Presence As A Cancer Risk Factor In Crohn’s Disease
Fistula Presence As A Cancer Risk Factor In Crohn's Disease Overview In this retrospective cohort study, the researchers aimed to delve into the cancer risk among patients with Crohn's disease (CD) based on the presence or absence of perianal fistulas (PF). The study spanned from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014,
N95 Mask Wearing By Dentists: An Evaluation Of Cardiovascular Effects
N95 Mask Wearing By Dentists: An Evaluation Of Cardiovascular Effects Overview Limited research exists on cardiovascular changes in dentists using N95 respirators or surgical mask-covered N95s during pediatric dental procedures. This crossover clinical trial involved 18 healthy dentists, exploring cardiovascular responses while treating pediatric patients with either an N95 respirator or a
Metronidazole For Vulval Crohn’s Disease Treatment
Metronidazole For Vulval Crohn's Disease Treatment Overview Cutaneous vulval Crohn's disease (VCD), an often overlooked extra-intestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease (CD), poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its potential for significant edema, painful fissures, and lasting disfigurement of the vulval anatomy. The lack of consensus on optimal management adds to the
Narcissistic Personality Disorder And Autism
Narcissistic Personality Disorder And Autism Overview This study explores the relationship between Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), focusing on the dimensions of narcissistic vulnerability and grandiosity. Both ASD and NPD pose challenges in diagnosis due to shared characteristics, such as pervasive traits, lifelong duration, ego-syntonic features, and difficulties
Sleep Stage Moderation Using Automated Auditory Stimulation
Sleep Stage Moderation Using Automated Auditory Stimulation Overview The study introduces a pioneering protocol for the automated detection and suppression of slow-wave sleep (SWS), a crucial physiological process with implications for both basic science and clinical applications. The protocol involves the automated identification of SWS through the entire head topography of frontal
