Gray zone lymphoma with features intermediate between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: characteristics, outcomes, and prognostication among a large multicenter cohort.

Gray zone lymphoma (GZL) with features between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a recently recognized entity reported to present primarily with mediastinal disease (MGZL). We examined detailed clinical features, outcomes, and prognostic factors among 112 GZL patients recently treated across 19 North American centers. Forty-three percent of patients presented with MGZL, whereas 57% had non-MGZL (NMGZL).

Commercial lipid emulsions and all-in-one mixtures for intravenous infusion - composition and physicochemical properties.

In the 20th century, the potential clinical application of lipid emulsions (LEs) for intravenous application was extensively studied, and this goal was eventually accomplished. The first safe LE for clinical use that was based on soybean oil was introduced in 1961. In the 1980s, LEs based on mixtures of soybean oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) were introduced.

Self-reported colorectal cancer screening of Medicare beneficiaries in family medicine vs. internal medicine practices in the United States: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The benefit of screening for decreasing the risk of death from colorectal cancer (CRC) has been shown, yet many patients in primary care are still not undergoing screening according to guidelines. There are known variations in delivery of preventive health care services among primary care physicians. This study compared self-reported CRC screening rates and patient awareness of the need for CRC screening of patients receiving care from family medicine (FPs) vs.

Interhospital transfers of acute care surgery patients: should care for nontraumatic surgical emergencies be regionalized?

Background: Patients with major nontraumatic surgical emergencies (NTSEs) are commonly transferred from small hospitals to tertiary care centers. We hypothesized that transferred patients (TRANS) have worse outcomes than patients with similar diagnoses admitted directly to a tertiary center (DIRECT).

Methods: We reviewed all patients admitted to the acute care surgery service of our tertiary center (September 1, 2006-October 31, 2009) with one of eight diagnoses indicating a major NTSE.
