Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare, chronic B-cell malignancy with an indolent course that typically responds well to purine nucleoside analogs, such as cladribine. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman with nearly three decades of recurrent HCL, marked by multiple relapses and significant toxicities to various treatments, including purine analogs, BRAF inhibitors, BTK inhibitors, a cytoreductive agent, and the monoclonal antibody rituximab. Despite severe allergic reactions and intolerances to standard therapies, the patient achieved multiple remissions.

Eosinophils are polymorphonuclear cells that have progressively gained attention due to their involvement in multiple diseases and, more recently, in various homeostatic processes. Their well-known roles range from asthma and parasitic infections to less prevalent diseases such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. In recent years, various biological therapies targeting these cells have been developed, altering the course of eosinophilic pathologies.

Introduction: Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy, often associated with cognitive impairments, particularly in memory functions, and depression. Sex and APOE ε4 genotype play a crucial role in modulating cognitive outcomes and depression in various neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease. However, the combined effects of APOE genotype and sex on cognitive performance and depression in temporal lobe epilepsy have not been previously investigated.
