assessment of the efficiency of the PIM-1 kinase pharmacological inhibitor as a potential treatment for Burkitt's lymphoma.

Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive form of lymphoma affecting B lymphocytes. It occurs endemically in Africa and sporadically in the rest of the world. Due to the high proliferation rate of this tumor, intensive multi-drug treatment is required; however, the risk of tumor syndrome lysis is high.

Clinical Efficacy of Intravenous Immunoglobulins in Management of Toxic Shock Syndrome: An Updated Literature Review.

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an uncommon complication of infection caused by streptococci and staphylococci. It is associated with a high mortality rate. When evaluating patients with shock symptoms from skin or soft tissue sources, a high index of suspicion for TSS must be maintained.

Erythropoietin-Induced Hypertension: A Review of Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Role of Blood Viscosity.

Anemia is a common complication of certain chronic diseases and can be treated by stimulating hematopoietic cells to increase red blood cell count, and this action is achieved by recombinant human erythropoietin. In this review article, we have discussed about hypertension, which develops as a result of erythropoietin therapy. We have explored the pathogenesis of erythropoietin-induced hypertension and discussed some ways to prevent and treat this condition.

How Clinically Efficient Is Lumacaftor/Ivacaftor for Cystic Fibrosis Patients? An Updated Literature Review.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive illness caused by the defective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. These patients suffer from repeated chronic sinuses and lung infections, resulting in frequent hospital admissions and antibiotic (Abx) courses. These are the major contributing factors responsible for a low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and increasing the disease burden.

Digitally Scanned Radiographs versus Conventional Films for Determining Clarity of Periapical Lesions and Quality of Root Canal Treatment.

Aim: To compare digital images of conventional radiographs with the original radiographs for perceived clarity of periapical lesions and the quality of root canal treatment.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and four intraoral periapical radiographs of patients with endodontically treated teeth were randomly selected. The radiographs were digitized using an MD300 USB X-ray Reader.

Undergraduate medical students' perceptions on the quality of feedback received during clinical rotations.

Objective: This study aims to report undergraduate medical students' evaluation of the frequency and the quality of feedback received on their clinical performance during their clerkships.

Methods: This is a prospective observational study with a cross-sectional design including students from two cohorts (fifth and sixth years). In a structured interview, a questionnaire was used to report students' perception on feedback.
