Prognostic significance of osteopenia in patients with colorectal cancer: A retrospective cohort study.

Aim: We examined the prognostic impact of osteopenia on the long-term outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer after laparoscopic colectomy along with other nutritional factors, including sarcopenia or the Glasgow Prognostic Score.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed the data of 230 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ colorectal cancers who underwent surgical resection between November 2010 and December 2015. Osteopenia and sarcopenia were evaluated by measuring the average pixel density in the mid-vertebral core of the 11th thoracic vertebra on enhanced computed tomography and the psoas muscle mass area at the third lumbar vertebra, respectively.

Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features that met the proposed diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related respiratory disease.

We held a multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) about a 61-year-old woman who had an interstitial lung disease (ILD) without extrathoracic lesions that met the classification criteria for interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) and the proposed diagnostic criteria for immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related respiratory disease (IgG4-RRD). Clinically, the marked progression of lung-limited diffuse lesions was consistent with IPAF. Serum IgG4 and rheumatoid factor levels simultaneously increased and did not contribute to a diagnosis.
