Deep lymph node enlargement and renal failure caused by hypercalcemia ‑associated sarcoidosis: A case report
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Mar 27;27(5):235. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12524. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTSarcoidosis is a rare disease that severely affects the lungs and superficial lymph nodes. In addition, this disease can also affect the skin, eyes and kidneys to varying degrees. The present report described a 32-year-old male patient who was admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (Wuhan, China) due to joint pain in the extremities. He was diagnosed with uncorrectable hypercalcemia. A lymph node biopsy revealed the hypercalcemia to be associated with sarcoidosis, with the patient also demonstrating renal failure and lym...

Prognostic value of 18 FDG-PET at diagnosis and follow-up in giant cell arteritis: An observational restrospective study
CONCLUSION: PET vascular activity scores at diagnosis and at follow-up PET/CT performed outside a period of GCA activity do not display high performance to predict the occurrence of subsequent relapse in LV-GCA patients.PMID:38627183 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.037 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Population pharmacokinetics and exposure –response analyses of polatuzumab vedotin in patients with previously untreated DLBCL from the POLARIX study
AbstractPolatuzumab vedotin is a CD79b-directed antibody –drug conjugate that targets B cells and delivers the cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The phase III POLARIX study (NCT03274492) evaluated polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (R-CHP) as first-line treatment of diffuse la rge B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To examine dosing decisions for this regimen, population pharmacokinetic (popPK) analysis, using a previously developed popPK model, and exposure–response (ER) analysis, were performed. The popPK analysis showed no clinically meaningful rela...

When Should I Get My Next COVID Vaccine? Data from the SUrveillance of responses to COVID-19 vaCcines in systEmic immunE mediated inflammatory Diseases (SUCCEED)study
CONCLUSION: Ours is the first pan-Canadian IMID assessment of how vaccine history and other factors affect serologic COVID-19 vaccine responses. These findings may help individuals personalize vaccination decisions, including consideration of additional vaccination when >6 months has elapsed since last COVID vaccination/infection.PMID:38621797 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-1214 (Source: Journal of Rheumatology)

Intestinal Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting with symptoms similar to inflammatory bowel disease: a case report
CONCLUSION: The clinical symptoms of Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving the gastrointestinal tract are not specific and may resemble symptoms observed in inflammatory bowel disease and other primary gastrointestinal tumors. Therefore, in cases of infants presenting with inflammatory gastrointestinal symptoms that do not resolve after treatment, a biopsy is essential to obtain a differential diagnosis.PMID:38605931 | PMC:PMC11007090 | DOI:10.3389/pore.2024.1611705 (Source: Pathology Oncology Research)

Efficacy and Safety of Methylprednisolone Pulse Therapy and Conventional Oral Prednisone for Pediatric Patients With Nephrotic Syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: High-dose methylprednisolone pulse therapy demonstrated better efficacy in treating pediatric NS patients, showing a shorter time to symptom relief, but it may also entail a higher risk of adverse reactions compared to conventional oral high-dose prednisone. Clinicians should consider the specific circumstances and needs of pediatric patients when selecting a treatment.PMID:38607215 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)
