From skin to heart: The rare journey of pleomorphic dermal sarcoma metastasis.
Radiol Case Rep

Department of Cardiology, Division of Specialist Medical Services, Gold Coast Hospital and Health Services, Southport, QLD 4215, Australia.
Cardiac tumours can be classified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic, with secondary tumours being significantly more common than primary ones. Among secondary tumours, melanoma has the highest propensity for cardiac involvement. Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) is a rare skin neoplasm, with an estimated metastatic risk of 10% to 20%.

Background: The incidence and mortality rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are increasing globally. HCC with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (HCCIVCTT) represents an advanced stage of the disease. Research suggests that for patients with advanced HCCIVCTT, liver resection combined with thrombectomy is a safe and feasible option that can provide moderate survival benefit.

Department of Solid Tumor Oncology, Atrium Health Levine Cancer, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Purpose: Malnutrition severely impacts tolerance to anticancer therapies, but any relationship with overall survival (OS) at the time of solid tumour diagnosis in outpatients in the USA remains unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 3562 patients who completed the Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) at diagnosis, identifying the relationship between MST risk, a validated tool evaluating anorexia and weight loss, and OS. MST score of ≥2 of 5 was classified as high malnutrition risk (H-MST).
Pacemaker-Induced Superior Vena Cava Syndrome.
Cureus
December 2024
Interventional Radiology, St Mary's Hospital, Waterbury, USA.
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a result of impaired blood flow from the SVC to the right atrium, leading to venous congestion in the head and neck. It can be caused by clotting disorders or compressive tumors of the head and neck but has become more prevalent in the setting of implantable devices such as pacemakers. As such, managing these patients can present challenges for physicians who have to account for SVC syndrome as well as their underlying condition requiring an implantable cardiac device.

Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Background: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and treatment-resistant minimal change disease (TR-MCD) are heterogeneous disorders with subgroups defined by distinct underlying mechanisms of glomerular and tubulointerstitial injury. A non-invasive urinary biomarker profile has been generated to identify patients with intra-kidney tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-activation and to predict response to anti-TNF treatment. We conducted this proof-of-concept, multi-center, open-label clinical trial to test the hypothesis that in patients with FSGS or TR-MCD and evidence of intra-renal TNF activation based on their biomarker profile, short-term treatment with adalimumab would reverse the elevated urinary excretion of MCP-1 and TIMP-1.
