Vitamin D Controversies in the Laboratory Medicine: A Review of Clinical Guidelines and Recommendations.
EJIFCC
December 2024
Clinical Analysis Department, Hospital Infanta Elena, Huelva, Spain.
A narrative review of the main guidelines and recommendations published from 2011 up to date about the status of vitamin D deficiency has been carried out. The objective of this review is to discuss the origin of the controversy about the status of this entity, as well as the evolution of the methodological aspects and clinical situations that require vitamin D screening. The results obtained indicate that the criteria defining vitamin D status, according to two studies published in 2011, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations and the Endocrine Society (ES) guidelines, regardless the affected population.

Background: Upfront 2-stent techniques are often used in bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but there is controversy about optimal strategy selection.
Methods: The authors examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and long-term outcomes of 232 bifurcation PCIs that were performed using the double kissing (DK) crush or culotte technique in 216 patients between 2014 and 2023 using data from the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Bifurcation Lesion Interventions (NCT05100992). The inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess long-term outcomes.
Efficacy evaluation of prophylactic cranial irradiation for limited stage small‑cell lung cancer in the magnetic resonance imaging era: A meta‑analysis.
Oncol Lett
March 2025
Department of Radiotherapy, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center Gansu Hospital, Lanzhou, Gansu 730050, P.R. China.
The role of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) remains controversial in the era of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PCI in the treatment of LS-SCLC in the era of MRI. The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases were searched from the time of database creation until May 24, 2023, to identify clinical studies that evaluated the effectiveness of PCI in patients with LS-SCLC in the MRI era.

Digestive tract carcinomas are the most commonly occurring cancers worldwide, but their prognosis with traditional treatments remains poor. T lymphocytes are well-recognized as crucial components of effective anti-tumor immunity, and current immunotherapeutic strategies concentrate mainly on T-cell-mediated immunity reinforcement, whereas the role of B lymphocytes and plasma cells (PCs) has been neglected in the past, and it is only recently that these cells have been considered as key players in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this review, we describe the complex dual role of B lymphocytes and PCs in promoting and inhibiting tumor progression in the TME of digestive tract carcinomas, and we demonstrate their prognostic value.

Department of Urology, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore; SingHealth Duke-NUS Transplant Centre, Singapore. Electronic address:
There has been much controversy regarding the order in which cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) and systemic therapy (ST) are applied for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). We aimed to investigate the role of deferred CN (dCN) in mRCC, particularly in the current era of immunotherapy. A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for studies comparing dCN versus any non-dCN strategy, in any temporal sequence, with the provision of Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival (OS).
