Clinical, Virological, and Immunological Features in Cosmopolitan Genotype DENV-2-Infected Patients during a Large Dengue Outbreak in Sri Lanka in 2017
In this study, we characterized the DENV-2 cosmopolitan genotype from patients during this epidemic. Also, we identified host factors that contributed to the severity of dengue infection in patients infected with this particular virus. Ninety-one acute serum samples from patients at the National Hospital in Kandy were randomly selected. Of these, 40.2% and 48.9% were positive for dengue IgM and IgG, respectively. NS1 antigen levels were significantly higher in primary infections. The severe dengue (SD) and dengue with warning signs (DWWS) groups exhibited significantly higher viral genome and infectivity titers than the de...

Advanced practice nurse management in multiple myeloma treated with oral therapy
DISCUSSION: In order to respond to the high need for care pathway and safety improvement, especially in elderly population, we have initiated an original follow-up by an APN for MM patients treated with oral chemotherapy. While the role of APN has become prominent in the oncology field in recent years, its holistic approach has to be emphasized in further studies to bring a comprehensive perspective to health care coordination in the future.PMID:37696744 | DOI:10.1016/j.bulcan.2023.07.010

Asian J Androl. 2023 Aug 22. doi: 10.4103/aja202332. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aim to evaluate prostate health index as an additional risk-stratification tool in patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score 3 lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Men with biochemical or clinical suspicion of having prostate cancer who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in two tertiary centers (Queen Mary Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, China) between January 2017 and June 2022 were included. Ultrasound-magnetic resonance imaging fusion biopsies were performed a...
