Purpose: The purpose of this study was to address the question of “superiority of R-CHOP versus CHOP”, with addition of Rituximab to CHOP, regarding survival of patients suffering from DLBCL. Patients and methods: A cohort retrospective design was used to conduct this study in a tertiary care hospital. A total of 100 patients (50 in each group) were randomly selected. The primary and secondary end points were EFS, OS, PFS and DFS. Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis (log rank, Breslow and Tarone ware tests) was employed to compare probability of survival for the two groups (CHOP/ R-CHOP). Results: The mean primary and secondary clinical indicators were estimated for each group (EFS, 1.7; 3.09 with a p value P=0.02), (OS, 0.60; 0.43 with a p value P=0.40), (PFS, 1.73; 3.57 with a p value P=0.002), (DFS, 0.02; 0.48 with a p value of P=0.00). Conclusion:The results for differences in clinical response were statistically significant in favor of the R-CHOP group.

Beyond the Herald Patch: Exploring the Complex Landscape of Pityriasis Rosea.

Am J Clin Dermatol

January 2025

Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, 33136, USA.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by a distinctive herald patch, followed by secondary eruptions, often forming a "Christmas tree" pattern on the trunk. Despite its recognizable clinical presentation, the etiology of PR remains uncertain, with hypotheses pointing to both infectious and noninfectious origins. Human herpesviruses (HHV) 6 and 7 have been implicated, with evidence suggesting viral reactivation as a potential trigger.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 1 (NOD1) is one of the innate immune receptors that has been associated with tumorigenesis and abnormally expressed in various cancers. However, the role of NOD1 in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) has not been investigated. We used the Tumor Immune Estimate Resource (TIMER) database to compare the differential expression of NOD1 in various tumors.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of using probiotics with strains related to dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid production on clinical features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This randomized, controlled trial involved 38 children with ADHD and 42 children with ASD, aged 5-16 years, who received probiotics (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Levilactobacillus brevis 109/cfu/daily) or placebo for 12 weeks. Parent-reported symptoms were assessed using Conners' 3rd-Ed and the Social Responsiveness Scale Test, 2nd-Ed (SRS-2), and children completed the Conners Continuous Performance Test, 3rd-Ed (CPT 3) or Conners Kiddie CPT, 2nd-Ed (K-CPT 2).

Unraveling the potential mechanism and prognostic value of pentose phosphate pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma: a comprehensive analysis integrating bulk transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing data.

Institute of Infectious Diseases, Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, 8 Huaying Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, 510440, China.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a malignant and life-threatening tumor with an extremely poor prognosis, posing a significant global health challenge. Despite the continuous emergence of novel therapeutic agents, patients exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their responses to anti-tumor drugs and overall prognosis. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is highly activated in various tumor cells and plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogramming.
