A retrospective analysis of treatment of 436 patients with acute bleedings from tumors of the gastrointestinal tract was made. Elderly and senile patients made up 72% of the hospitalized patients. The emergency complex diagnostics in 75% of the patients under conditions of a multi-profile hospital allowed the source of bleeding to be detected during the first day, the strategy of treatment being also determined. Radical operations could be fulfilled both in emergency and planned order on most patients. Lethality of patients with tumors of the stomach and colon after radical operations was 10%, after palliative operations 29.5% and 27.9% respectively. Acute bleedings from tumors of the gastrointestinal tract is not the absolute sign of the patient being inoperable.

Hematological emergencies are critical medical conditions that require immediate attention due to their rapid progression and life-threatening nature. As various examples, hypercalcemia, often associated with cancers such as multiple myeloma, can lead to severe neurological and cardiac dysfunction. Hyperleukocytosis, common in acute myeloid leukemias, increases the risk of leukostasis and multiorgan failure.

: Intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) and perihematomal edema (PHE) are respective imaging markers of primary and secondary brain injury in hemorrhagic stroke. In this study, we explored the potential added value of PHE radiomic features for prognostication in ICH patients. : Using a multicentric trial cohort of acute supratentorial ICH ( = 852) patients, we extracted radiomic features from ICH and PHE lesions on admission non-contrast head CTs.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) accounts for approximately 10-15% of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia cases and presents with coagulopathy and bleeding. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are required to minimize early mortality in APL as initiation of all-trans retinoic acid therapy rapidly reverses coagulopathy. The fusion is a hallmark of APL and its rapid identification is essential for rapid initiation of specific treatment to prevent early deaths from coagulopathy and bleeding and optimize patient outcomes.
