Real-world data on direct oral anticoagulants in BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs): a multicenter retrospective study on behalf of scientific subcommittee on MPNs for Turkish society of hematology.

BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) pose a substantial risk of thrombosis, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulant therapy, historically based on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), has limitations in preventing recurrent thrombotic events and managing bleeding complications. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) offer a potential alternative with improved pharmacokinetics and compliance.

Comparison of the effects of single injection and continuous infusion popliteal nerve block on pain and hemodynamics in diabetic foot surgery; prospective randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: In patients undergoing surgery due to diabetic foot complications from uncontrolled diabetes may lead to neuraxial or general anesthesia-related issues. Regional anesthesia techniques can be preferred to prevent these complications. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects and outcomes in terms of pain of continuous infusion and single injection methods of popliteal nerve block in patients undergoing surgery due to diabetic foot.

Primary tumor heterogeneity on pre-treatment [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT for the prediction of biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to research the value of the texture analysis of primary tumors in pre-treatment [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET in the prediction of the development of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer patients who underwent definitive therapies.
