Histomorphometric parameters of iliac bone in healthy individuals: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Despite its invasive character, bone biopsy followed by histomorphometry remains the gold standard for diagnosing and classifying many metabolic bone diseases. However, the interpretation of histomorphometric parameters requires comparison with average values obtained from a proper control group, which are only available for some populations, and reference standards still need to be published. Therefore, our objective was to estimate average values for bone histomorphometric parameters overall, by age, gender, and race (White and Black) categories of healthy adult individuals, based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies.

Valemetostat for patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (VALENTINE-PTCL01): a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study.

Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas are aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas with few treatment options for relapsed or refractory disease. Valemetostat tosylate (valemetostat) is a potent, novel, dual inhibitor of EZH2 and EZH1. We investigated the clinical activity and safety of valemetostat in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and its safety in patients with relapsed or refractory adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma.

The NITRATE-OCT study-inorganic nitrate reduces in-stent restenosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial.

Background: Coronary angioplasty and stent insertion is a first line treatment for patients with coronary artery disease, however it is complicated in the long-term by in-stent restenosis (ISR) in a proportion of patients with an associated morbidity. Despite this, currently there are no effective treatments available for the prevention of ISR. Repeat percutaneous revascularisation carries increased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events and a higher incidence of stent failure.

Usability Evaluation of the Revised Symptom Assessment App: Perspectives of Children and Parents.

Background: The symptom reporting app was co-designed with school-age children with cancer, their parents, and clinicians. Preliminary studies demonstrated its feasibility and acceptability; however, children and parents identified the need for additional refinements.

Methods: Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model and principles of user-centered design, this study supported refinements to the user interface and evaluation of its usability.

Disease Activity in Pregnant and Postpartum Women With Multiple Sclerosis Receiving Ocrelizumab or Other Disease-Modifying Therapies.

Background And Objectives: Women with multiple sclerosis (MS) are at risk of disease reactivation in the early postpartum period. Ocrelizumab (OCR) is an anti-CD20 therapy highly effective at reducing MS disease activity. Data remain limited regarding use of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), including OCR, and disease activity during peripregnancy periods.

Necrotizing Pancreatitis Due to Very High Triglyceride Level: A Case Report.

In the United States, acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions that results in hospital admission. Necrotizing pancreatitis is a form of acute pancreatitis that can lead to various local and systemic complications. It is also associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity without prompt intervention.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Peripheral Artery Calcification: 30-Day Outcomes From the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study.

Purpose: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has shown promising safety and effectiveness in calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD) in large trials and small real-world experiences. Real-world evidence from a larger cohort is lacking, so we aimed to evaluate the real-world acute performance of IVL in the treatment of calcified PAD.

Materials And Methods: The Disrupt PAD III Observational Study (OS) is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study.

Takotsubo Syndrome: An International Expert Consensus Report on Practical Challenges and Specific Conditions (Part-2: Specific Entities, Risk Stratification and Challenges After Recovery).

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) still remains as an enigmatic phenomenon. In particular, long-term challenges (including clinical recurrence and persistent symptoms) and specific entities in the setting of TTS have been the evolving areas of interest. On the other hand, a significant gap still exists regarding the proper risk-stratification of this phenomenon in the short and long terms.

Comprehensive Catalog of Variants Potentially Associated with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Including Newly Identified Variants from a Cohort of 100 Patients.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic skin disease characterized by painful, recurrent abscesses, nodules, and scarring, primarily in skin folds. The exact causes of HS are multifactorial, involving genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. It is associated with systemic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Autoinflammation in patients with leukocytic CBL loss of heterozygosity is caused by constitutive ERK-mediated monocyte activation.

Patients heterozygous for germline CBL loss-of-function (LOF) variants can develop myeloid malignancy, autoinflammation, or both, if some or all of their leukocytes become homozygous for these variants through somatic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) via uniparental isodisomy. We observed an upregulation of the inflammatory gene expression signature in whole blood from these patients, mimicking monogenic inborn errors underlying autoinflammation. Remarkably, these patients had constitutively activated monocytes that secreted 10 to 100 times more inflammatory cytokines than those of healthy individuals and CBL LOF heterozygotes without LOH.

Involvement of healthcare staff in hospital hygiene during emergency hemodialysis.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections are still a worrying health problem that complicates patient care and increases morbidity and mortality. The incidence of infections in hemodialysis patients is still high and they constitute the second cause of hospitalization and death in this category.

Aims: The study's objective was to evaluate nursing and medical staff's involvement in hospital hygiene.
