(AT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, progressive cerebellar ataxia, and an increased malignancy risk. Cells derived from individuals with AT show multiple defects, including high oxidant and ionizing radiation sensitivities, poor DNA repair, low iron-sulfur cluster levels, and low reduced glutathione. The clinical course of AT is progressive and unrelenting, with most individuals having a survival time of approximately twenty-five years.

Here we present a case of a rare primary pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma in a 59-year-old woman who initially presented with right-sided chest pain and shortness of breath. Chest X-ray revealed right lower lobe atelectasis, while a chest computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed a large right hydrothorax with collapse of most of the right lung.

Histologically, these lesions show multiple cystic blood-filled cavities traversed by neoplastic bone in septa lined by high-grade malignant cells. Here, we report an 81-year-old woman who presented with a mandibular mass, which was surgically resected and analyzed by histologic examination and whole exome DNA sequencing.

This systematic review assesses the reported incidence of medical serious adverse events (MSAEs), including but not limited to cardiovascular events, in patients receiving sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine for psychiatric disorders to guide practitioners during treatment planning, risk-benefit analyses, and the informed consent process.
Methods: Pubmed database was searched for clinical trials of sub-anesthetic ketamine for psychiatric disorders in non-pregnant adult patients.
