Prolonged Responses in Central Nervous System Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma After Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy Using Targeted Treatments.

The introduction of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell) therapy has changed the treatment landscape of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the optimal treatment strategy after relapse after this therapy still needs to be elucidated. In this report, we describe the case of a 67-year-old male who relapsed after treatment with tisagenlecleucel as a third-line therapy.

Metformin confers sensitisation to syrosingopine in multiple myeloma cells by metabolic blockage and inhibition of protein synthesis.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable haematological malignancy despite substantial advances in therapy. Hypoxic bone marrow induces metabolic rewiring in MM cells contributing to survival and drug resistance. Therefore, targeting metabolic pathways may offer an alternative treatment option.

Correction of ankle varus deformity using patient-specific dome-shaped osteotomy guides designed on weight-bearing CT: a pilot study.

Background: Dome-shaped supramalleolar osteotomies are a well-established treatment option for correcting ankle deformity. However, the procedure remains technically demanding and is limited by a two-dimensional (2D) radiographic planning of a three-dimensional (3D) deformity. Therefore, we implemented a weight-bearing CT (WBCT) to plan a 3D deformity correction using patient-specific guides.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: When Basic Science Meets Clinical Research.

The therapeutic landscape of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is rapidly changing with the recent availability of new targeted therapies. This progressive shift from empiricism to pathophysiology-based treatments reflects an intensive interaction between the continuous findings in the field of basic science and an efficient collaborative clinical research and represents a convincing example of the strength of translational medicine. Despite the rarity of TTP, national and international efforts could circumvent this limitation and shed light on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, prognosis, and long-term outcome of this disease.
