Subcutaneous emphysema results from air or gas being forced into the fascial spaces of subcutaneous tissue. Once the air or gas has entered the fascial spaces, it travels along connective tissue causing a mass effect and swelling. This rare complication usually presents with mild severity during the immediate postoperative period following surgical procedures of the head or neck regions and self-resolves with conservative treatment.

Introduction: Abiraterone and enzalutamide are both approved in the United States for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The objective of this study was to compare the real-world effectiveness and cardiovascular safety of these agents, drawing from a cohort of older adult patients diagnosed with mCRPC.
Materials And Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database was used to conduct an observational study comparing three-year overall survival and one-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between initiators of abiraterone or enzalutamide between September 2012 and June 2017.

Introduction: Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (R-CHOP) therapy is the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, detailed delineation of toxicity data is limited and has not been examined by age. We sought to examine adverse event data in patients receiving R-CHOP from the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 50303 trial to determine if there were differences in grade 3+ toxicities by age cohort or ECOG performance status (PS), and if outcome was impacted by age cohort or toxicity occurrence.

Introduction: The use of taxanes in the adjuvant setting of early breast cancer (BC) confers survival benefits, however, their role in older patients merits further study. This retrospective pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials conducted by the Hellenic Oncology Research Group (HORG) aims to assess the efficacy and safety of taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy in older women with BC.
Materials And Methods: Five phase III trials containing a taxane, conducted by HORG between 1995 and 2013, were included in a patient-data pooled analysis.

While total RNA concentrations putatively represent ribosome content, there is a need to homologize various quantification approaches. Thus, total RNA concentrations ([RNA]) provided through UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV), fluorometry-only (Fluor), and fluorometry-based microfluidic chip electrophoresis (MFGE) were examined in C2C12 myotubes and mouse skeletal muscle to determine if values aligned with [18S + 28S rRNA] (i.e.
