Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Syndrome Induced by Primary Anti-tubercular Medication: A Case Report.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic syndrome (DRESS) is a life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction of the skin and visceral organs caused by exposure to certain drugs, often with a latency period of two to eight weeks. A 20-year-old man, previously diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) one month ago and receiving treatment with isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE regimen), presented with symptoms including a maculopapular rash, fever, elevated transaminase levels, an increased white blood cell count with eosinophilia, hepatomegaly, and lymphadenopathy. The patient experienced recovery upon cessation of drug use and was administered corticosteroids and supportive therapeutic interventions.

The Functional Outcome of Limb Salvage of Proximal Femur Tumors With Modular Endoprosthesis: A Prospective Study.

Introduction The proximal femur is a common site for primary bone sarcomas, including Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and giant cell tumors (GCT). Extensive resections are challenging to reconstruct because the size of the tumor may necessitate an extensive resection of the femur to achieve adequate oncologic clearance. The resection of the proximal femur can result in hip joint instability due to the loss of the strong native hip capsule or hip abductor strength.

Ki-67 Index and Its Correlation with Clinical and Pathological Variables in Breast Cancer.

The role of the Ki-67 index as a prognostic marker in breast cancer is controversial. This study was undertaken to assess the association of Ki-67 index with other clinicopathological factors in breast cancer. The prospectively conducted study included 127 female patients with clinical tumor stage 1-3 and nodal stage 0 or 1 treated between March 2015 and March 2017.
