Clinical and Histopathological Evaluation of Forty-one Cases of Pediatric Granuloma Annulare.

Introduction: Granuloma annulare (GA) is a non-infectious granulomatous disease that can affect children and adults. Although many studies have been conducted in adult GA patients, the literature on pediatric GA cases is limited.

Objectives: Therefore, this study aimed to examine the demographic, clinical, and pathological features of pediatric GA cases.

The cause of severe hypercalcaemia resistant to pamidronate treatment: subcutaneous fat necrosis with no visible skin lesion.

Subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN) is an uncommon cause of neonatal hypercalcaemia. It is usually seen in neonates after a complicated delivery within the first month of life. While uncommon, hypercalcaemia can be fatal.

The evaluation of risk factors leading to early deaths in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia: a retrospective study.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) differs from other forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including coagulopathy, hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and treatment success with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Despite ATRA, early deaths (ED) are still common in APL. Here, we evaluated factors associated with ED and applicability of scoring systems used to diagnose DIC.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of COVID-19 in Turkish Patients with Hematological Malignancies.

Objective: Patients with solid malignancies are more vulnerable to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection than the healthy population. The outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in highly immunosuppressed populations, such as in patients with hematological malignancies, is a point of interest. We aimed to analyze the symptoms, complications, intensive care unit admissions, and mortality rates of patients with hematological malignancies infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Turkey.

The Utility of CONUT Score in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Patients.

Background: Assessment of nutritional status is gaining more importance in cancer patients because nutritional status is associated with response to chemotherapy, side effects of cancer treatment and disease progression. Several studies that were performed on patients with solid malignancies have shown the clinical significance of CONUT score (Controlling nutritional status).

Aims: Therefore we tried to show the utility of CONUT score in newly diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) patients which is the most frequently seen B Cell Lymphoma type.
