Article Synopsis
- Conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can reduce hemodilution but may lead to tissue hypoperfusion and elevated lactate levels.
- A study of 641 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) found that higher weight-indexed CUF volumes significantly correlated with increased incidence of hyperlactatemia (HL) post-surgery.
- Specifically, HL was associated with nearly double the CUF volume in affected patients, highlighting the importance of monitoring CUF volumes to prevent elevated lactate levels in post-operative care.
Article Synopsis
- B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma where abnormal B-cell lymphoblasts grow in lymphoid tissues, often presenting with enlarged lymph nodes and masses in various organs.
- A 20-month-old boy presented with a painless scalp mass and an enlarged lymph node behind his ear, leading to ultrasound and surgery, where the mass was found to be firm, calcified, and consistent with B-LBL.
- After surgery, further tests showed a high percentage of lymphoblasts in his bone marrow, indicating B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), prompting his referral to a pediatric oncologist and beginning of chemotherapy for treatment.
Article Synopsis
- There is limited knowledge about the risk of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in high-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (HGBL NOS), prompting a study that assessed baseline CNS involvement, recurrence rates, and management strategies in patients treated from 2016 to 2021.
- In the study of 160 adults, 7% exhibited baseline CNS involvement, which was linked to MYC rearrangement and certain sites of involvement, but did not significantly impact overall survival outcomes compared to those without CNS involvement.
- The risk of CNS recurrence within three years was found to be 11%, with patients showing initial CNS involvement facing a much higher risk (48.5%), while various other factors such as blood involvement and
Introduction: Intraoperative ultrafiltration (UF) is a procedure used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to reduce haemodilution and prevent excessive blood transfusion. However, the effect of UF volume on acute kidney injury (AKI) is not well established, and the results are conflicting. Additionally, there are no set indications for applying UF during CPB.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of Toxoplasma gondii infection with GDM in a case-control study with regard to the levels of leptin and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as two inflammatory biomarkers. Fifty-one pregnant diabetic cases and 109 controls were selected from a prenatal care clinic of a general hospital in Shiraz, southern Iran during July-November 2020.
