A Comprehensive Study on the Hematological Progression of Sickle Cell Disease Patients with COVID-19 at the Center for Research and Control of Sickle Cell Disease, Bamako.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is a real crisis that has exposed the unpreparedness of many healthcare systems worldwide. Several underlying health conditions have been identified as risk factors, including sickle cell disease, a chronic illness with various complications that can increase the risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Our study aimed to investigate the profile of sickle cell patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and explore any potential relationship between these two conditions.

Background: We present the case of a patient with a rare synovial sarcoma (SS) of the tibial nerve. So far, only 4 cases of patients with SS originating from the tibial nerve have been described in the literature, and our patient is only the second patient whose limb was saved during treatment. Synovial sarcomas are malignant mesenchymal tumors, i.

Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumors show biological features distinct from other paragangliomas and visceral neuroendocrine tumors.

Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumors (CENETs) are neoplasms of uncertain histogenesis with overlapping features between those of paragangliomas (PGs) and visceral neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We have explored their biological relationship to both subsets of neuroendocrine neoplasms. The clinical and radiological features of a cohort of 23 CENETs were analyzed.

A rare case of non-traumatic spinal epidural hematoma in lumbar region associated with apixaban therapy.

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a very rare clinical entity with potential diagnostic difficulties and which can result in severe neurological deficit. The etiology of this rare condition is largely not known, but with potential predisposition in patients on anticoagulation medication. This includes the novel anticoagulants with direct inhibition of the factor Xa mechanism (DOACs).
