Alemtuzumab infusion-associated reactions and laboratory changes in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis at baseline and first-year follow-up.

Background: Alemtuzumab (ATZ) is an anti-CD52 humanized monoclonal antibody indicated for treating highly active relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). It alters the regulation of the immune system by depleting circulating lymphocytes. Changes in blood cell count, infusion-related reactions, and changes in vital parameters can be seen in the early period with ATZ.

Retrospective Evaluation of Bone Metastases in Patients With Thyroid Malignancy: A Single-Center Experience.

Background Thyroid cancer is one of the five most common cancers causing bone metastasis. If there is an increase in serum thyroglobulin-antithyroglobulin levels in differentiated thyroid cancer or calcitonin levels in medullary thyroid cancer, patients should be evaluated for recurrence and distant metastasis. The skeleton is the second most common site of distant metastasis in thyroid cancer after the lung.
