Cutaquig Is Well Tolerated in Immunodeficient Patients Who Did Not Tolerate Other Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin Products.

Objective: Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) treatment is generally tolerable, but some patients may experience adverse events to one or more SCIG products. We investigated whether 16.5% Cutaquig treatment offered a tolerable and safe alternative treatment for immunodeficient patients.

Hospital-Based Ocular Trauma: Factors, Treatment, And Impact Outcome.

Background: Specific morbidities as blindness is a serious complication that commonly results from patients with ocular traumas and can significantly impair the patient's social and occupational abilities. This study is conducted due to the current lack of data on ocular injuries in developing countries and places near war regions and aims to investigate and evaluate the impact of ocular trauma.

Material And Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval was obtained, we retrospectively identified 112 patients who were admitted due to eye trauma from January 2015 until October 2018.

Impact of region of diagnosis, ethnicity, age, and gender on survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematopoietic clonal disorder characterized by the increased blasts and poor survival outcome, which is mainly driven by cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities. Here, we investigated the prognostic impact of other demographic parameters on the survival outcomes in AML patients. We reviewed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database to collect demographic information, including age, diagnosis, gender, race, and geographic region in patients with non-acute promyelocytic leukemia AML, between 2004-2008.

Neuroblastoma of the elderly, an oncologist's nightmare: case presentation, literature review and SEER database analysis.

Neuroblastoma is considered a pediatric malignancy as over 95% of cases are diagnosed in patients ≤10 years old. This cancer is extremely rare in elderly patients. We conducted a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database analysis in the USA between 1973-2007 that revealed only 35 elderly patients (>60 years of age) with neuroblastoma of whom only 2 patients had primary mediastinal neuroblastoma.

Aberrant drainage of sentinel lymph nodes in colon cancer and its impact on staging and extent of operation.

Background: The role of aberrant lymphatic drainage in changing operations for patients undergoing sentinel lymph node mapping in colon cancer has not been described on a large scale.

Methods: Patients with colon cancer underwent sentinel lymph node mapping and standard oncologic resection. Aberrant lymphatic drainage was identified outside the standard resection margin, requiring change of the extent of operation.

Detection and prognostic impact of micrometastasis in colorectal cancer.

Review of literature was performed on studies with prognostic impact of micrometastasis in colorectal cancer. Among 16 studies included, micrometastasis was detected in 26.5% of patients.

Nodal positivity in breast cancer correlated with the number of lesions detected by magnetic resonance imaging versus mammogram.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer can detect more than 15% additional lesions than mammography. We investigated lymph node metastases rates in patients with multifocal or multicentric disease detected by MRI compared with patients with a single lesion detected by mammography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of breast cancer patients undergoing MRI and mammography was performed.
