FDG-PET/CT is a powerful tool to predict and evaluate response to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in Non-Hodgkin-Lymphoma (NHL)
This study evaluates the role of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in NHL treated with CAR T-cell therapy concerning response assessment and prognosis.We evaluated 34 patients with NHL who received a CAR T-cell therapy between August 2019 and July 2022. All patients underwent a pre-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-0) 6 days prior and a post-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-1) 34 days after CAR T-cell therapy. Deauville score (DS) was used for evaluation of response to therapy and compared to a minimum follow-up of 5 months.19/34 (55.9%) patients achieved DS ≤ 3 on PET-1, the remaini...

Blue esophagus as a diagnosis of aortic dissection
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.17235/reed.2024.10319/2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 76-year-old patient, admitted to the department of cardiac surgery, anticoagulated, started with acute dysphagia. An upper endoscopy revealed a blue mucosa from the upper to distal esophagus, with narrowing of the lumen caused by an extrinsic compression. A computed to¬mography (CT) of the thorax was performed, showing a 85x55 mm mediastinal hematoma causing extrinsic compression of the esophagus. Subsequently, a contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed, confirming a contained rupture of descending thoracic aortic dissection...

Association of body composition and survival in patients with locally advanced breast cancer: a historical cohort study
CONCLUSION: Low visceral-to-subcutaneous ratio and high composite fat were independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS in patients with LABC. However, other body composition parameters showed no effect on survival.PMID:38591936 | DOI:10.1177/02841851241241528 (Source: Acta Radiologica)

Quantitative CT scan and response to pronation in COVID-19 ARDS
Conclusions: Most COVID-19 related ARDS subjects improve their oxygenation at the first pronation cycle. The study suggests that baseline qCT scan data are not associated with the response to PP in oxygenation or CO2 in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 related ARDS subjects.PMID:38594036 | DOI:10.4187/respcare.11625 (Source: Respiratory Care)

In particular, lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) is associated with a dismal prognosis. The current study presented a challenging case of splenic LAHS. A 71-year-old man presented with fatigue and anorexia. Laboratory test results revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, lactate dehydrogenase elevation and markedly elevated levels of ferritin (6,210 ng/ml) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R; 1...
