Testosterone therapy as a novel approach to the management of cytopenias in myelodysplastic neoplasms: a review of literature and case report.

Purpose: To explore the potential of testosterone therapy in managing cytopenias in myelodysplastic neoplasm and investigate the link between hypogonadism and hematologic malignancies.

Methods: A case of a patient with intermediate-risk myelodysplastic neoplasm and hypogonadism treated with testosterone replacement therapy is presented. Testosterone, prostate specific antigen, and erythropoietin levels were checked prior to therapy initiation and 3 months after.

Encumbered and Traditional Anthropometry of Law Enforcement Officers for Vehicle Workspace and Protective Equipment Design.

Objectives: This study investigated anthropometric changes of national law enforcement officers (LEOs) in 46 years, compared the differences between LEO data and civilian anthropometry, and identified the magnitude of differences in dimensions measured with gear versus semi-nude measurements.

Background: The best available 46-year-old anthropometric dataset of LEOs has largely become outdated due to demographic changes. Additionally, anthropometric data of female LEOs and LEO measurements with gear are lacking.

Patterns of seroconversion for SARS-CoV2-IgG in patients with malignant disease and association with anticancer therapy.

Patients with cancer have been identified in several studies to be at high risk of developing severe COVID-19; however, rates of SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroconversion and its association with cancer types and anti-cancer therapy remain obscure. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with cancer that underwent SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing. Two hundred and sixty-one patients with a cancer diagnosis underwent SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing and demonstrated a high rate of seroconversion (92%).
