The functional and structural integrity of the endothelium is essential for vascular homeostasis. Loss of barrier function in quiescent and migratory capacity in proliferative endothelium causes exuberant vascular permeability, a cardinal feature of many inflammatory diseases including acute lung injury (ALI). However, the signals governing these fundamental endothelial cell (EC) functions are poorly understood.

- - Three young women with generalized body pain were initially diagnosed with fibromyalgia after visiting various specialists, but their symptoms pointed to something more serious.
- - The patients exhibited additional clinical issues such as fractures and hypertension, leading rheumatologists to investigate potential underlying endocrine problems.

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the top three malignancies worldwide. While radiotherapy, hormone replacement therapys, and chemotherapy are treatments, chemotherapy causes adverse effects that hinder daily life activities.
Objectives: To assess the prevalence, severity, and association of symptomatic toxicities in female breast cancer patients affecting various organ systems post systemic chemotherapy (adjuvant and neoadjuvant), and their impact on daily activities.
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma which may predispose individuals to development of secondary malignancies (SMs). The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database is a comprehensive registry of cancer patients in the United States reporting on a wide set of demographic variables. Using the SEER-18 dataset, analyzing patients from 2000 to 2018, we aimed to assess the incidence of SMs in WM patients.
