AI Article Synopsis

  • Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants, resulting in a wide range of clinical symptoms from mild to severe.
  • A family study revealed that all members across two generations exhibited splenomegaly as a common symptom.
  • Diagnosis of GD necessitated thorough clinical, biochemical, and genetic evaluations, as it can arise from multiple distinct genotypes.

Article Abstract

Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that is associated with bi-allelic pathogenic variants in . Its wide clinical spectrum, ranging from mild organomegaly to significant skeletal and neurological involvement, is partially explained by genotype-phenotype correlations. We present a family, in which all members over two generations presented with at least splenomegaly. Comprehensive clinical, biochemical and genetic workup was required to diagnose GD, which is caused by as many as four distinct genotypes.

The Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) and the Nordic Lymphoma Group (NLG) conducted the SAKK 35/10 randomized phase-2 trial (NCT0137605) to compare rituximab (R) alone versus R plus lenalidomide (L) as initial treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL). Patients with grade 1-3a FL, requiring systemic therapy, were randomized to either R (n=77; 375 mg/m2 IV x 1, weeks 1-4) or RL (n=77; R on the same schedule and L at 15 mg daily continuously). Responders (evaluated at 10 weeks) repeated R during weeks 12-15 with or without L (for a total of 18 weeks).

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have been developed for several diseases. However, despite the potential to improve the quality of care and thereby positively impact patient-relevant outcomes, the majority of AI-based CDSS have not been adopted in standard care. Possible reasons for this include barriers in the implementation and a nonuser-oriented development approach, resulting in reduced user acceptance.

Purpose: To analyze survival and its predictors among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in Ethiopia.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients who received TACE for HCC at MCM Hospital from December 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022. Data were extracted from patients' medical records, and vital status was ascertained from the patients' charts or by phone call to the next of kin.

The growing sophistication of tumor molecular profiling has helped to slowly transition oncologic care toward a more personalized approach in different tumor types, including in bladder cancer. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends that all patients with stage IVA and stage IVB urothelial carcinoma have molecular analysis that integrates at least testing to help facilitate the selection of future therapeutic options. Sequencing of tumor-derived tissue is the mainstay to obtain this genomic testing, but as in other cancers, there has been extensive research into the integration of liquid biopsies in longitudinal management.
