A 25-year-old man with a seminoma is irradiated several times until the age of 33 for multiple and relapsing metastases. The recovery is maintained for 20 years. The very high total irradiation doses have caused osteonecrotic lesions of the lumbar spine and some functional, but discreet renal problems.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in early pregnancy: A rare and fatal diagnostic challenge.
Obstet Med
January 2025
Intensive Care and Obstetric Research Group (GRICIO), Universidad de Cartagena, Cartagena, Colombia.
Objective: This report details the complexities of diagnosing and treating rapid-onset multisystemic hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) during pregnancy, as evidenced by a fatal case in early pregnancy with severe hematological and obstetric complications.
Case Presentation: A 20-year-old pregnant woman in her second pregnancy presented at 8 weeks of gestation with abdominal pain, fever, and rectal bleeding. Laboratory tests revealed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia, leading to immediate transfusion and intensive care unit admission.
Chronic pain is a risk factor for all-cause and cancer-specific mortality in cancer survivors: a population-based cohort study.
BMC Public Health

Department of Oncology, Zhuji People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province, No. 9 Jianmin Road, Zhuji, Zhejiang, 311800, China.
Background: Evidence is lacking on whether chronic pain is related to the risk of cancer mortality. This study seeks to unveil the association between chronic pain and all-cause, cancer, as well as non-cancer death in cancer patients based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.
Methods: Cancer survivors aged at least 20 (n = 1369) from 3 NHANES (1999-2004) cycles were encompassed.
Real World Evidence From 2 Decades of First-Line TKI Therapy in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML): Insights From ACHO's RENEHOC Registry.

Clinica IMAT Oncomedica Auna S.A.S, Montería, Colombia.
Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment has significantly evolved with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, access to these treatments and outcomes vary globally. This study examines 2 decades of CML management in Colombia using the RENEHOC registry, focusing on TKI efficacy, safety, and healthcare system challenges.

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio have emerged as potential indicators for assessing cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of hypertriglyceridemia, the TyG index, and the TG/HDL ratio for mortality and CVD occurrence within an Iranian population.

Previous studies evaluated the prognostic role of hematological parameters in predicting outcome in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). However, only a few studies evaluated the role of hematological parameters in patients undergoing surgery for IE. The aim of this study was to review our 20-year experience with the treatment of native (NVE) and prosthetic (PVE) valve endocarditis and to evaluate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to monocyte ratio (NMR), and systemic inflammatory index (SII) on early and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for NVE and PVE.
