Retrospective review of records from 1990 to 1997 revealed unsuccessful attempts to withdraw antipsychotic medications from a total of 34 intellectually disabled individuals. The lowest dose of antipsychotic medication necessary to maintain symptom suppression and the dose at which relapse occurred were noted. Target behaviors observed indicating relapse included increased self-injurious behavior, aggression, and destructive/disruptive behaviors. Nineteen subjects received a low potency antipsychotic agent (ie, thioridazine or chlorpromazine) and 15 received a high potency antipsychotic agent (ie, haloperidol, loxapine, thiothixene). The mean lowest effective dose of chlorpromazine/thioridazine was 149.3 mg/d and relapse occurred at a mean dose of 93.6 mg/d. The mean lowest effective dose of haloperidol or related high potency drugs (expressed as haloperidol equivalents) was 5.9 mg/d, and relapse occurred at a mean dose of 3.8 mg/d.

Immunotherapy-extended survival in patients with recurrent pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma following surgery.
Eur J Surg Oncol
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Tokyo Medical University, Japan.
Objective: Pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma is a relatively rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a poor prognosis and early recurrence, and is resistant to conventional therapies. This study investigated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in improving the survival outcomes of patients with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma with postoperative recurrence.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 71 patients with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma who underwent pulmonary resection at Tokyo Medical University Hospital between 2008 and 2022.
Concurrent Renorrhaphy During Renal Mass Excision in Laparoscopic Nephron-Sparing Surgery: A Novel Surgical Technique.
Urol Res Pract
January 2025
Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Department of Gastroenterology, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou 646000, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: Cystic lymphangioma is a rare hamartoma that is especially found in the adult gastrointestinal tract. In the early stage, most patients are asymptomatic; after the onset of symptoms, there is often no specificity regarding symptoms.
Case Summary: Here we report the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of an adult patient with cystic lymphangioma of the ascending colon.
Application of DynaCT biliary soft tissue reconstruction technology in diagnosis and treatment of hepatolithiasis.
World J Gastrointest Surg
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Biomedical Innovation Center, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510655, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Hepatobiliary stone disease involves an intrahepatic bile duct stone that occurs above the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts. One-step percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) using the percutaneous transhepatic one-step biliary fistulation (PTOBF) technique enables the clearing of intrahepatic stones and the resolution of strictures. However, hepatolithiasis with associated strictures still has high residual and recurrence rates after one-step PTCSL.

Objective: This study aims to delineate the clinical features underlying the concurrent disease of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myasthenia gravis (MG), and to identify efficacious therapeutic strategies.
Background: NMOSD and MG are uncommon autoimmune diseases that infrequently co-exist. Despite previous reports, a consensus on treating NMOSD concurrent with MG is lacking.
