Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)+ and EBV- primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL) carry distinct mutational landscapes, but their transcriptional and epigenetic profiles have not been integrated and compared. This precludes further insights into pathobiology and molecular differences, relevant for classification and targeted therapy.
Methods: 23 EBV- and 15 EBV+ PCNSL, histologically classified as diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, were subjected to RNA-Sequencing and EPIC methylation arrays.
Background: Neurolymphomatosis refers to infiltration of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Diagnostic intervals in neurolymphomatosis and factors delaying diagnosis have not been evaluated. We therefore aimed to analyze diagnostic intervals in a large cohort.

The present article discusses current issues including the decreasing significance of the World Health Organization (WHO) analgesic ladder, with its distinction between step 2 and 3 being increasingly questioned. Risks of nonopioid analgesics such as paracetamol and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly in older populations, are discussed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: While studies at the undergraduate level have begun to explore healthcare students' safety and dignity dilemmas, none have explored such dilemmas with multiple stakeholders at the postgraduate level. The current study therefore explores the patient and staff safety and dignity narratives of multiple stakeholders to better understand the healthcare workplace learning culture.
Design: A qualitative interview study using narrative interviewing.
