Prevalence of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Gynecological Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment: A Two-Institution Retrospective Study.

Background: Anemia in patients with cancer negatively affects their quality of life and cancer outcomes. However, most patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) are not appropriately evaluated or treated, and the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in CIA remains unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic records of patients with gynecological cancer in two tertiary hospitals, between March 2023 and July 2023, and evaluated their anemia status.

Prenatal diagnosis of achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia using three-dimensional computed tomography: a case series at a single institution.

Background: Fetal skeletal dysplasia (FSD) is a group of systemic bone and cartilage disorders that develop prenatally and can be detected using fetal ultrasonography. However, it is unsuitable for skeletal analysis because it is reflected by supersonic waves in the bone cortex. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) is a suitable alternative and has improved the differential diagnosis of FSD during pregnancy.

Relationship Between Clozapine-Induced Inflammation and Eosinophilia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background And Hypothesis: Eosinophilia has not been highlighted in clozapine-induced adverse inflammatory events, as it is often asymptomatic and self-limiting, while drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome occurs rarely. This study aimed to reveal the temporal relationships between eosinophilia and other inflammatory events during clozapine initiation.

Study Design: The temporal relationships between eosinophilia and other inflammatory events were evaluated among 241 patients with schizophrenia treated with clozapine for the first time at 7 hospitals.

Photoreactions of the CH-SO Complex in a Low-Temperature Matrix Investigated by Infrared Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Calculations.

Ethylene and sulfur dioxide molecules were co-deposited on a CsI window at cryogenic temperature, and the photoproducts upon UV irradiation were observed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The products were found to be UV wavelength-dependent; at shorter wavelengths (λ = 266 nm) one strong peak was observed while more than three peaks were identified at longer UV wavelengths (λ = 300 nm). Spectral features changed seamlessly along with UV wavelength.
