Secondary hypogammaglobulinemia, or decreased IgG levels due to reduced production or increased loss caused by medications or underlying conditions, can be associated with increased infection risk. While immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) is generally accepted as a strategy to help prevent recurrent bacterial infections in SHG, controversy exists as to whether it should be initiated to prevent the first occurrence of infection. This question has been raised particularly in the setting of anti-CD20 therapy, solid organ transplant, and B-cell malignancies and their treatments once IgG levels fall below 300-400 mg/dL.

Article Synopsis
- The ESSR updated its 2015 consensus on soft tissue tumor imaging due to advancements in technology and updated classifications.
- A panel of 46 radiologists from 12 European countries used a validated Delphi method to reach consensus on imaging strategies, resulting in high agreement on 47 statements.
- Key findings highlight that MRI is preferred for monitoring soft tissue sarcomas, with chest CT recommended for assessing metastasis and interventional radiology playing a role in treating specific cases.

Unlabelled: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of euvolemic hyponatremia, resulting from non-osmotic release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). SIADH is frequently associated with neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI-associated SIADH usually develops within days to weeks and resolves within a few weeks.

The ARS brain committee recommends that vorasidenib may be appropriate for recurrent or residual IDH-mutant grade 2 oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma. Vorasidenib is usually not appropriate for completely resected grade 2 oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma, any grade 3 oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma, or combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for any grade 2-3 glioma.
