Diagnostic Error Causing Cases of Cytopenia Summary Many psychotropic drugs are known to cause cytopenia after increasing dosage or during the beginning of treatment. Cytopenia can also be caused by other conditions such as leukemia. These two case reports report on cases of cytopenia which happened during adjustment of psychotropic mediations in

Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Survival rates of Endostar, CCRT
Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Survival rates of Endostar, CCRT Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): An Introduction Accounting for approximately 80% of lung cancers, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common subtype. Most NSCLC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage with a mere 15-20%
Esophageal Cancer: Pembrolizumab VS Chemotherapy treatment?
Esophageal Cancer: Pembrolizumab VS Chemotherapy treatment? Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus. The esophagus plays an important role in digesting food it helps in moving the food you swallow down to your stomach. Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common cancer and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related
Using Ultrasound to Analyze Malignant and Benign Orbital Space-Occupying Lesions
Using Ultrasound to Analyze Malignant and Benign Orbital Space-Occupying Lesions Most orbital space-occupying lesions come from tissues in the orbital space or metastasize from other system tumors. The bulk of clinical manifestations of these lesions such as diplopia, protrusion, and loss of vision are often nonspecific, so imaging technology is crucial
Risk Factors for Ocular Metastases in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
Myelofibrosis – Biology, Management, and Case Report of Ocular Manifestation
MF-BIOLOGY, MANAGEMENT, AND CASE REPORT OF OCULAR MANIFESTATION Myelofibrosis is an uncommon myeloproliferative neoplasm, a type of blood cancer where excess red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets are produced in the bone marrow. The rarity of this abnormality has many medical professionals struggling to understand its genetic underpinnings. This
Malignancy in Myelofibrosis Patients Receiving Ruxolitinib Therapy
A Restrospective Study of Secondary Malignancies in Myelofibrosis Patients Receiving Ruxolitinib Therapy Myelofibrosis (MF) is a chronic, rare, and often fatal type of blood cancer characterized by a progressive replacement of bone marrow with fibrous scar tissue. This type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) leads to progressive spleen enlargement, systemic symptoms such
Study on the Ocular involvement in metastatic and systemic malignancies
Ocular Involvement of Systemic Malignancies Systemic malignancies affecting the eye often involve the choroid or the orbital area of the eye, leading to different ocular manifestations. Ocular malignancies are relatively rare compared to malignancies of other parts of the human body. The American Cancer Society estimates there will be about 3,300 new eye cancer
Exploring Gene Profiles in Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma
Exploring Gene Profiles in Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is one of the rarest tumors found in patients. In fact, SBA only represents about 1-3% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. Due to its rarity, genomic analyses and prognostic biomarkers are limited. About 55-82% of small bowel adenocarcinomas can be found in
Oncology-Specific Opioid Risk Calculator in Cancer Survivors
Oncology-Specific Opioid Risk Calculator in Cancer Survivors Despite the great progress made in terms of diagnosis and treatment, cancer is still a dreaded diagnosis. This devastating disease has a sweeping reach. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) figures for global cancer burden estimates were 19.3 million new cases and
