Serum NMR Metabolomics in Distinct Subtypes of Hematologic Malignancies.

Hematological malignancies encompass a diverse array of subtypes, contributing to substantial heterogeneity that poses challenges in predicting clinical outcomes. Leveraging the capabilities of nuclear magnetic resonance holds substantial promise in the detection of serum biomarkers and individual metabolic alterations in patients. The study involved the analysis of the sera from patients with acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma to investigate the impacted metabolites and their associated pathways.

Coexistence of phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia type 3: challenges in the dietary management.

Objectives: Phenylketonuria (PKU) and tyrosinemia type 3 (HT3) are both rare autosomal recessive disorders of phenylalanine-tyrosine metabolism. PKU is caused by a deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), leading to elevated phenylalanine (Phe) and reduced tyrosine (Tyr) levels. HT3, the rarest form of tyrosinemia, is due to a deficiency in 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD).

Predictive values and relationships of serum PSA levels, delta neutrophil index, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and other hematological parameters in patients with acute prostatitis.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive values and relationships of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, delta neutrophil index (DNI), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and other hematological parameters in patients diagnosed with acute prostatitis.

Methods: Serum PSA levels and hemogram parameters of patients diagnosed with acute prostatitis were retrospectively analyzed. Healthy patients of the same age group were assigned to the control group.

A case report of Tangier disease presents with acute sensorimotor polyneuropathy and its treatment approach.

Polyneuropathy is a frequently encountered clinical presentation where peripheral nerves are affected due to the same cause and physiopathological processes. We report a case of acute sensorimotor polyneuropathy in a patient with Tangier disease (TD) who was treated with miglustat which is a glycosphingolipid synthesis inhibitor. TD is a very rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene which encodes the cholesterol efflux regulatory protein.
