Lymphoma in pregnancy is an uncommon occurrence. This diagnosis is challenging, and a multidisciplinary team of specialists in obstetrics, anesthesiology, neonatology, hematology psychology should participate in the management of this condition. The choice of treatment regimen depends on the histotype and the gestational age. In Hodgkin lymphoma, ABVD is safe if administered after the thirteenth week of pregnancy. In indolent non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) a watchful waiting approach is reasonable; in case of aggressive NHLs, if the diagnosis occurs in the first gestational weeks, a termination of the pregnancy might be considered or if it occurs after the thirteenth week of pregnancy, a standard R-CHOP regimen is safe. Regarding new anti-lymphoma drugs, available data on the potential fetotoxicity of these agents are limited. Data collection regarding the use of new drugs in pregnant patients is mandatory in order to learn more about their safety and facilitating clinical decision making in this setting of patients.

Article Synopsis
  • A study involving 80 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) found that 15% experienced virologic breakthrough (VBT) after switching from nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy to pegylated interferon alpha (Peg-IFN-α) treatment.
  • Patients who had higher levels of HBcrAg (≥5 logU/mL) and HBsAg (≥100 IU/mL) showed a significantly increased risk of VBT and were less likely to achieve HBsAg clearance post-therapy.
  • The research indicates that monitoring HBcrAg and HBsAg levels can provide insights into immune responses and help prevent VBT, potentially improving the chances of achieving a functional cure for CH

The corpus callosum, a major white matter tract in the brain, undergoes age-related functional changes. To extend our investigation of age-related gene expression dynamics in the mouse corpus callosum, we compared RNA-seq data from 2 week-old and 12 week-old wild-type C57BL/6 J mice and identified the differentially expressed genes (e.g.

There is evidence that nitric oxide (NO) modulates the metabolism of glucose and lipid, and some antihypertensive medications have been shown to affect glucose and lipid metabolism. Peristrophe bivalvis is a medicinal plant that has been shown to have antihypertensive properties. The study investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Peristrophe bivalvis leaf (APB) on fasting blood glucose level (FBG) and lipid profile in rats pretreated with nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME).

Background: We compared the efficacy and safety profiles of ainuovirine (ANV), a new-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), with boosted elvitegravir (EVG), both coformulated with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) who had achieved virological suppression on previous NNRTI-based antiretroviral (ARV) regimen.

Methods: This study was a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial recruiting PLWH from 10 clinical centres across China. Main inclusion criteria included age of 18-65 years (inclusive), and stably staying on an ARV regimen combining an NNRTI with a two-drug NRTI backbone for at least 12 months.

Introduction: Studies have shown that dexmedetomidine (DEX, an a2-adrenoceptors agonist) provides a neuroprotective effect and influences blood glucose levels. Here, we evaluated the effect of prolonged treatment with low doses of DEX on the survival rate of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra and also serum glucose levels in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) - induced Parkinson's disease (PD) in the rat.

Material And Methods: The neurotoxin of 6-OHDA was injected into the medial forebrain bundle by stereotaxic surgery.
