Article Synopsis
- VEXAS syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes bone marrow failure and systemic inflammation, which can lead to a higher risk of infections for affected patients.
- In a study of 94 patients with VEXAS, 6% developed pneumonia (PJP), 15% experienced reactivation of the alphaherpesvirus, and 10% had non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections.
- The research found that developing PJP or NTM significantly increases the risk of death, while prophylactic treatments for these infections were shown to be highly effective in reducing infection rates.
Background: The pre-biopsy (bx) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, tumor volume/diameter, degree of extraprostatic extension (EPE), and extent of surgical margin positivity have been shown to be significant prognostic parameters of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy. The present study assessed the cut-off values of the pre-bx PSA level, maximum tumor diameter, radial and circumferential distances of EPE, and circumferential length of surgical margin (SM) positivity with regard to BCR.
Material And Methods: The study included 445 radical prostatectomy specimens, and the cut-off values of all parameters were determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
The presence of occlusion/near-occlusion of glomerular capillaries was recently added to the existing definition of glomerulitis (g). We retrospectively re-evaluated 135 renal allograft biopsies regarding g to ensure no antibody-damaged grafts were missed. Previous and revised g scores (pg and rg, respectively) were compared for clinicopathologic correlations.
