Causal Effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Implementation on Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survival: A Difference-in-Differences Analysis.

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) accounts for a substantial number of cancer cases in the United States, with a significant prevalence and mortality rate. The implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has the potential to impact cancer-specific survival among NHL patients by improving access to healthcare services and treatments.

Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of the implementation of the ACA on cancer-specific survival among patients diagnosed with NHL.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Systematic Review.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition characterized by multi-organ involvement. The clinical presentation often varies from mild to moderate to severe. The cardiovascular system may also be affected, often portending a poor prognosis for patients.

A Comprehensive Review of Four Clinical Practice Guidelines of Acromegaly.

Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder characterized by dysregulated hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), leading to an overproduction of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The etiology is usually a GH-secreting pituitary adenoma with the resultant presentation of coarse facial features, frontal bossing, arthritis, prognathism (protrusion of the mandible), and impaired glucose tolerance, among others. Most pituitary adenomas arise due to sporadic mutations that lead to unregulated cellular division, subsequent tumor formation, and resultant GH hypersecretion.
