Novel regimens and treatment strategies in neoadjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer: A systematic review.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to describe novel regimens and treatment strategies in neoadjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim was to summarize the current advancements in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for CRC, including the use of cytotoxic drugs, targeted treatments, and immunotherapy. The analysis aimed to provide insights into the potential benefits and drawbacks of these novel approaches and highlight the need for further research to optimize NACT use in CRC and improve patient outcomes.

Progression of Skin Ulcer Secondary to Calciphylaxis in a Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on Hemodialysis and the Therapeutic Approach.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and severe medical condition characterized by the calcification of small blood vessels and soft tissues, leading to tissue damage, skin ulcers, and intense pain. It most commonly affects individuals with underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, particularly end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and is associated with high mortality rates. Understanding the diagnosis and management of calciphylaxis is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Large B-cell Lymphoma-Associated Membranous Nephropathy With Positive PLA2R on Kidney Biopsy.

Large B-cell lymphoma associated with membranous nephropathy (MN) is a rare and complex medical condition that involves the simultaneous presence of two distinct diseases: a malignant lymphoma and a kidney disorder called membranous nephropathy. In this case, there is an additional element of interest, which is the presence of positive Phospholipase A2 Receptor (PLA2R) in the kidney. The case involves a 53-year-old Caucasian male with a three-week history of lower leg edema and a past medical history of recurrent upper respiratory infections.

Association of serum digoxin concentration with morbidity and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation, heart failure and reduced ejection fraction of 45 % or below.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are common cardiovascular conditions linked to significant health burdens. This review aims to study the relationship of serum digoxin concentration and mortality and morbidity outcomes in defined population.

Methods: We conducted a thorough search of databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, from inception until 20th Aug 2023.

Asymptomatic COVID-19 presenting with features of mixed pattern acute liver injury in a young healthy female, a case report.

COVID-19 associated severe acute liver injury in a young healthy patient has not been reported much in the literature. And currently, there are no standard management guidelines. We want to report a case of acute liver injury of mixed pattern in a young healthy female with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.

Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Extramedullary Hematopoiesis.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the development of hematopoietic tissue outside of the bone marrow. In adults, the bone marrow is the main site of hematopoiesis. When this process occurs outside of the bone marrow, it is a sign of disease or deficiency.
