Cabazitaxel, a second-generation taxane chemotherapy agent, has demonstrated efficacy in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in patients who have previously received docetaxel-based therapy. By targeting microtubule dynamics, cabazitaxel inhibits cancer cell division and induces apoptosis, thereby extending survival and delaying disease progression in this challenging patient population. A systematic review and meta-analysis were done by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, MEDLINE (including MEDLINE InProcess; OvidSP), Web of Science, Embase (OvidSP), and Scopus databases.

- - Resmetirom, a selective thyroid hormone receptor-β agonist, shows potential in treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a major cause of liver-related health issues globally.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that Resmetirom significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels compared to a placebo, although it also increased the risk of side effects like diarrhea and nausea.
- - Overall, Resmetirom appears to be a promising option for improving liver health in NASH patients, potentially filling a gap in current treatment strategies.
Background: Basal ganglia hemorrhage (BGH) is an intracerebral subtype of hemorrhage located in the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, or adjacent structures such as the thalamus or internal capsule. Bilateral involvement of both basal ganglia is exceedingly infrequent. Herein, we report a case of a 2-year-old female who was discovered to have spontaneous bilateral BGH with a unique hemorrhagic extension.
