The incidence of explosions in large agglomerations is high even during peacetime and continues rising. Blast syndrome injuries are complex, with shock wave causing severe injuries of multiple organ systems. In situations with large numbers of injured persons, effective triage allows an early diagnosis and treatment of the highest number of victims. Treatment is challenging, and potentially conflicting therapeutic goals may alternate. This review provides an overview of the pathophysiology of blast injuries, current diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic procedures.

Medical Oncology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Wardha, IND.
Gynecomastia, the abnormal enlargement of male breast tissue, is a rare side effect associated with dasatinib. This drug is used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We present a case of dasatinib-induced gynecomastia in a 52-year-old gentleman with CML who developed bilateral breast enlargement and tenderness after approximately four months of dasatinib treatment.

To analyze the transmission characteristics of newly reported HIV-infected students aged ≥18 years in Nanjing City from 2016 to 2022 and provide evidence for AIDS publicity and intervention among young students. The pol region sequences of newly reported HIV-infected students and non-student HIV-infected individuals in Nanjing City from 2016 to 2022 were collected, and the BLAST tool was used to search the published global non-Nanjing reported HIV infection sequences in the LANL HIV database. The basic molecular transmission network and regional molecular transmission network were constructed using the HIV-TRACE in a pairwise genetic distance threshold of 1.

PurposeChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell CD19 therapy has changed the treatment paradigm for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is frequently associated with potentially severe toxicities: cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and admission to PICU is often required. Some biomarkers seem to correlate with CRS severity.

Introduction: Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This systematic literature review (CRD42022330496) assessed outcomes by baseline characteristics for patients with R/R ALL treated with InO to identify which patients may benefit most.
Methods: In adherence with PRISMA guidelines, searches were run in Embase and MEDLINE.
Pediatric Myeloid Neoplasms With UBTF Tandem Duplications: Morphologic, Immunophenotypic, and Clinical Characterization.

Article Synopsis
- Tandem duplications (TDs) in the UBTF gene are a recently identified genetic alteration linked to pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), establishing UBTF-TD as a distinct subtype of AML.
- A study of 27 pediatric patients revealed that UBTF-TD is commonly associated with symptoms like cytopenia and characteristic changes in bone marrow, such as erythroid hyperplasia and trilineage dysplasia.
- The findings suggest that patients with MDS and AML exhibiting UBTF-TD have similar prognoses, indicating that both conditions may represent different manifestations of the same underlying disease.
