Background: Kidney transplant recipients are uniquely exposed to the disordered bone metabolism associated with chronic kidney disease beginning before transplantation followed by chronic corticosteroid use after transplantation. Previous efforts to synthesize the rapidly accruing evidence regarding estimation and management of fracture risk in kidney transplant recipients are outdated and incomplete.

Objective: To synthesize the evidence informing the overall incidence, patient-specific risk prediction, and methods of prevention of fractures in patient living with a kidney transplant.

Prospective prediction from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) showed a likely incidence of 1 in 23 women diagnosed with gynaecological malignancy, where the incidence of relapse with a drug-resistant clone poses a significant challenge in dealing with it even after initial treatment. Glucose metabolism has been exploited as a therapeutic target under anti-metabolomic study, but the non-specificity narrowed its applicability in cancer. Novel updates over epigenetics as a target in gynaecological cancer offer a rational idea of using this in the metabolic rewiring in mutated glycolytic flux-induced drug resistance.

Nosocomial infections during immunotherapy pose a dilemma in the treatment of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, where a lack of consensus guidelines for this rare disease marks a significant gap in the existing knowledge. This case reports about an 18-year-old female diagnosed with anti-NMDAR encephalitis who was found to be refractory to first- and second-line treatment. During her hospital stay, the patient encountered nearly six episodes of infection, which delayed the use of next-line intervention.

The prevailing treatment stratagem in cancer therapy still challenges the dilemma of a probable metastatic spread following an initial diagnosis. Including an anti-metastatic agent demands a significant focus to overrule the incidence of treatment failures. Adrenergic stimulation underlying the metastatic spread paved the way for beta blockers as a breakthrough in repurposing as an anti-metastatic agent.
