Article Synopsis
- Collagen disorders are chronic autoimmune diseases, and their relationship with breast cancer risk is uncertain; this study focused on the outcomes of 25 women with both conditions.
- The study reviewed patient data, revealing that most had specific types of collagen disorders, and the majority received immunosuppressive treatments.
- Key findings showed that these patients had higher Ki-67 levels (indicating faster cancer cell growth) and lower rates of recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to a control group, suggesting the need for close follow-up for these patients.
Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a polyphenolic compound found in various plants, has been reported to improve cognitive function. However, it remains unclear how long it takes for CGAs to exert their effects. Here, we evaluated the short-term effects of CGAs on cognitive function.

We report a case of markedly asymmetric pharyngeal-cervical-brachial weakness. Acute progression of symptoms, albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid, electrophysiologic evidence of demyelination and elevation of IgG anti-GT1 a antibody titer paralleled the clinical course, support the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Guillain-Barré syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cranial neuropathy, even in cases where there is marked asymmetry.
