Aggressive types of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), namely, the acute type, lymphoma type, and chronic type with poor prognostic factors, have a poor prognosis. Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may improve prognosis, relapse is common. In June 2021, tucidinostat was approved for relapsed or refractory ATL in Japan.

As such, the implementation of vaccination is largely at the discretion of the attending physician. In this context, an objective measure is needed, therefore the index of vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in B-cell lymphomas treated with antibody therapy against CD20 (including after the completion of therapy) was examined.

- The study investigates the relationship between the Areal Deprivation Index (ADI) and delays in hospital arrival for acute ischaemic stroke patients in Kochi, Japan.
- Higher ADI, indicating more deprived communities, was linked to significant prehospital delays and worse hospital outcomes, including increased mortality and higher chances of needing nursing facility care.
- In contrast, no significant association was found in capital areas, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may influence patient outcomes differently based on location.
Background: Although non-stroke vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is diagnosed using MRI, detecting the subtle intravascular structure remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the validity of quantitative intravascular scanning based on novel zoomed high-resolution black blood (Z-HB) MRI for distinguishing VAD from other vessel pathologies.
Methods: Twenty-one patients with non-stroke VAD and 18 with symptomatic atherosclerotic plaques in their vertebral artery underwent Z-HB MRI and subsequent profile curve processing.
Objective: A retrospective comparative analysis of the outcomes of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for brain metastases from uterine cervical carcinoma (CC) and endometrial carcinoma (EC), investigated the efficacy and prognostic factors for survival and local tumor control. Histopathological analysis was also performed.
Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed 61 patients with 260 tumors of CC and 73 patients with 302 tumors of EC who had undergone GKRS.
