Published: May 1995

A patient with idiopathic myelofibrosis is reported who developed a drug fever after treatment with hydroxyurea, a generally effective and well-tolerated drug in chronic myeloproliferative syndromes. Typically, this form of fever develops after a few weeks of exposure to the drug and disappears with discontinuation of the drug. Possible interactions with prostaglandin or leukotriene metabolism may play a role.

Objective: Despite diagnostic criteria refinements, Parkinson's disease (PD) clinical diagnosis still suffers from a not satisfying accuracy, with the post-mortem examination as the gold standard for diagnosis. Seminal clinicopathological series highlighted that a relevant number of patients alive-diagnosed with idiopathic PD have an alternative post-mortem diagnosis. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of PD comparing the in-vivo clinical diagnosis with the post-mortem diagnosis performed through the pathological examination in 2 groups.

With the emergence of numerous classifications, surgical treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be guided more effectively. However, surgical decision-making and optimal strategies still lack standardization and personalized customization. Our study aims to devise proper deep learning (DL) models that incorporate key factors influencing surgical outcomes on the coronal plane in AIS patients to facilitate surgical decision-making and predict surgical results for AIS patients.

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM), irrespective of its unique etiology, is marked by varying extents of eosinophil infiltration, frequently accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia. In some instances, the etiology remains undetermined, thus classified as idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. The clinical manifestations are highly variable, ranging from mild or asymptomatic presentations to acute fulminant myocarditis or chronic restrictive cardiomyopathy.
