The combination of pregnancy and cancer is a challenge for the patient and a problematic clinical dilemma for the doctor. In this retrospective observational cohort study, we have tried to analyze our experience in the management of such patients. This review includes 41 patients with malignant neoplasms detected during pregnancy who received treatment at the Almazov National Medical Research Centre from 2015-2021. The majority of patients received treatment during pregnancy (n=26, 63.4%): chemotherapy - 19 (46.3%) (in 2 cases in combination with surgery), surgical treatment - 7 (17, 1%) patients. In most cases, delivery was at term (n=28, 68.3%). All children born at term were mature and had no growth restriction, regardless of whether the mothers received treatment during pregnancy or not. When detecting cancer during pregnancy, an immediate follow-up examination is required to assess the extent of the tumor and current fetal state. If pregnancy prolongation is requested, the treatment should not be postponed, except for systemic chemotherapy in the first trimester of pregnancy, pelvic radiation at any term.

Purpose: Research has shown that prolonged endotracheal intubation can increase risk of aspiration following extubation. This study examined the relationship between swallowing and intubation among patients with COVID-19. We investigated the association between the duration of intubation and time until an oral diet was safely initiated and the correlation between the length of intubation and reduced sensation with aspiration as seen on flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)/videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS).

Department of Pharmacy, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated promising effects in lowering cardiovascular incidents among patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, their influence on early platelet reactivity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains unclear.
Objectives: This research sought to investigate the effects of entirely human anti-PCSK9 antibodies on platelet function as measured by thrombelastography and 12-month postoperative results in patients receiving PPCI and treated with ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy.
