Pelvic Ewing sarcoma is associated with a worse prognosis. Thromboembolic events are relatively common in pediatric patients with cancers including sarcomas. We have presented a case of Ewing sarcoma arising from the left iliac bone with tumor thrombus of inferior vena cava (IVC) which was obtained complete response by both chemotherapy and irradiation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated that the tumor arising from the left iliac bone extended into the left side of sacral bone, suggesting the difficulty of surgical resection. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the existence of the tumor thrombus of IVC. We performed irradiation (31.2 Gy) and chemotherapy (combination of VCR, Act-D, IFM, and ADR). The tumor was controlled successfully, and the tumor thrombus of IVC has completely vanished. Four years after the treatment, coin lesion in the left upper lung appeared. Suspected of metastasis, segmental resection of the left upper lung was performed. Fourteen years after the surgery, the patient has been remained free of recurrence. It is clinically significant for surgeons to treat pelvic Ewing sarcoma with tumor thrombus.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.
Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Skeletal muscle relaxants have their place in everyday use in numerous anesthesiological procedures, such as preparing a patient for surgery, supporting mechanical ventilation, and performing effective intubation. These drugs can be divided, based on their mechanism of action, into depolarizing skeletal relaxants, such as succinylcholine, and non-depolarizing skeletal muscle relaxants. Non-depolarizing agents are further categorized, based on their structure, into steroidal (eg, rocuronium) and benzylisoquinoline (eg, atracurium) compounds.

Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) is a rare type of acute leukemia and is extremely difficult to treat. Here, we present six patients with CD19-positive ALAL who were successfully treated with blinatumomab-based combination treatment in the front-line setting. Five were diagnosed with B-cell/myeloid mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and one with B-cell/T cell MPAL.

Fibrinolytic enzymes are promising in treating cardiovascular diseases due to their capacity to dissolve blood clots. The fibrinolytic enzyme from Arthrospira platensis (FEAP) was purified by ion exchange chromatography to investigate its ability to activate plasminogen, as well as its thrombolytic and fibrinogenolytic potential. Subsequently, two different cytotoxic assays (MTT and NR) and hemolysis test were performed to evaluate FEAP's safety.

Reproductive health-related diseases have a significant impact on the well-being of millions of women worldwide, severely compromising their quality of life. Women encounter unique challenges in terms of reproductive health, including gynecological diseases and malignant neoplasms prior to pregnancy, as well as complications during pregnancy that greatly undermine their physical and mental health. Despite recent advancements in the field of female reproduction, substantial challenges still persist.
