: Changes in muscle mass and bone density are common in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) offers precise, non-invasive insights into a patient's physical condition before autologous stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT). This study examines how pre-transplant body composition impacts treatment outcomes and early complications in MM patients undergoing autoHSCT.

- This study evaluated lymph node metastases in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who underwent a specific type of surgery called super-extended pelvic lymph node dissection (sePLND) and sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND).
- Out of 54 patients analyzed, 41% had metastases in their lymph nodes, with the obturator fossa being the most common location for these metastases.
- The findings suggest that metastases often occur on the opposite side of the tumor, making unilateral lymph node dissection risky, and combining sePLND with SLND offers better cancer staging.
Introduction: Research on obesity, which results from excessive food consumption and sedentary lifestyle, has focused on increasing energy expenditure. Recently, muscle tissue is being investigated as an endocrine active organ, secreting molecules called myokines. Multiple studies have been performed to assess myokine levels in various disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic syndrome.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the relationships between BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), and trabecular bone score (TBS) parameters based on the dual X-ray absorptiometry method (DXA) and potential risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with severe haemophilia A.
Background: The optimal limits of the bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) template in bladder cancer treatment remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether radio-guided sentinel node (SLN) detection is a reliable technique for the perioperative localisation of potential lymphatic metastasis during cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
Materials And Methods: We studied 54 patients with pT2-pT4 MIBC who underwent cystectomy with extended PLND (ePLND) augmented by the SLN technique.
