Liver diseases as a novel risk factor for delirium in the ICU-Delirium and hepatic encephalopathy are two distinct entities.

Background: Delirium prevalence is high in critical care settings. We examined the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of delirium in a medical intensive care unit (MICU) with a particular focus on liver diseases. We analyzed this patient population in terms of delirium risk prediction and differentiation between delirium and hepatic encephalopathy.

SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia with Venous Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism, and Adrenal Haemorrhage: A Case Report with Literature Review.

Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) with venous thrombosis is a rare complication of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca) and AD26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ, USA) associated with high mortality.

Efficacy of Pazopanib With or Without Gemcitabine in Patients With Anthracycline- and/or Ifosfamide-Refractory Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Final Results of the PAPAGEMO Phase 2 Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Pazopanib and gemcitabine have shown good tolerability, albeit modest single-agent activity in pretreated soft tissue sarcoma. A combined regimen to improve outcomes is required.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of gemcitabine and pazopanib compared with pazopanib alone.

Hepatic toxicity during regorafenib treatment in patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Regorafenib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, and metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Severe hepatobiliary toxicity has been reported in patients with colorectal cancer treated with regorafenib, but not in those with GIST. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence and clinical course of regorafenib-associated hepatic toxicity (HT) in patients with GIST in a real-world setting.

Impact of surgery in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma: A monocentric retrospective analysis.

Background And Objectives: The role of local surgical procedures in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma is still undefined. Few retrospective studies have reported survival benefits for patients with pulmonary metastases after complete surgical resection. Treatment decisions are therefore mainly based on personal experiences rather than on reproducible knowledge.
