Outcome of extra-nodal follicular lymphoma affected by choice of induction chemoimmunotherapy and maintenance rituximab - real-world retrospective study.

The importance of extra-nodal disease has been well recognized in follicular lymphoma, and is incorporated into various prognostic tools. However, the optimal treatment strategy for this subgroup remains unclear. In this multicenter retrospective study, we analyzed 143 patients who received either R-CHOP or Bendamustine-Rituximab (BR), with a median follow-up of 69.

Surgical ciliated cyst a newly added entity in WHO classification of head and neck tumours (2022): A case report.

The surgical ciliated cyst is a newly added entity under the cysts of the jaws in the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022). It is preceded by a prior surgery to the jaw many years before its diagnosis. A 53-year-old Chinese female, who had undergone cleft lip and palate repair followed by orthognathic surgery before the age of 20, was referred for management of an incidentally found cyst in the left maxilla.

Fusion Genes in Myeloid Malignancies.

Fusion genes arise from gross chromosomal rearrangements and have been closely linked to oncogenesis. In myeloid malignancies, fusion genes play an integral role in the establishment of diagnosis and prognostication. In the clinical management of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, fusion genes are deeply incorporated in risk stratification criteria to guide the choice of therapy.

Comparison of cardiovascular risk prediction in type 1 diabetes: an Australian viewpoint.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant burden in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Yet the optimal method of CVD risk stratification remains uncertain. We found that the new Australian CVD risk calculator could overestimate risk category compared with the Steno Type 1 Risk Engine and underestimate risk category compared with the new Swedish/Scottish prediction tool, both of which were validated for T1DM.
