Non-GCB Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma With an Atypical Disease Course: A Case Report and Clinical Exome Analysis.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoid tumor among other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (30-40% of all cases). This type of lymphoma is characterized by significant differences in treatment response and the heterogeneity of clinical traits. Approximately 60% of patients are cured using standard chemotherapy (CT), while in 10-15% of cases, the tumor is characterized by an extremely aggressive course and resistance to even the most high-dose programs with autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT).

Contractile function of upper urinary tract after indwelling ureteral prosthesis: experimental investigation.

Background: Ureteral endoprostheses are used for dilatation of strictures in order to maintain upper urinary tract (UUT) function for a longer period.

Materials And Methods: Three kinds of short (3-4-cm) endoprostheses were inserted into the ureter of mongrel dogs with intact UUT or experimental ureter strictures. The UUT function was evaluated by means of radiographic examinations and in terms of following measures of contractility: intraluminal pressure, electroureterography (EUG), and multichannel impedance ureterography (MIUG).
