A 71-year-old woman was hospitalized for the treatment of fatigue, fever, and cough. On admission, she showed increased serum inflammation markers, severe anemia, pulmonary hemorrhage, and advanced acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis. Her serum anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the efficacy of the sequence docetaxel-cabazitaxel-enzalutamide vs. docetaxel-enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
METHODS
Of the cohort of 35 patients, 11 were treated with the sequence
Moyamoya disease is a rare chronic cerebrovascular occlusive disease diagnosed by angiogram with primary features consisting of bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries and of the vessels forming the circle of Willis, and subsequent development of small collateral vessels. These
A case of advanced gastric cancer associated with metastatic carcinomatosis of the bone marrow, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was reported. A 71-year-old woman complained of lumbago and general fatigue. At the time of admission, besides
The exposure to Aspergillus organisms/spores is likely common, but disease caused by tissue invasion with these fungi is uncommon and occurs primarily in the setting of immunosuppression. We report a case of rapidly advancing invasive endomyocardial aspergillosis secondary to prolonged usage of
Co-occurrence of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities is frequently seen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The clinical outcome and genetic abnormalities of AML may vary; therefore, genetic investigation must be complex, using several techniques, to have an appropriate BACKGROUND
In this phase 1 trial, the authors evaluated sunitinib combined with radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of primary or metastatic central nervous system (CNS) malignancies.
METHODS
Eligible patients had CNS malignancies that required a (minimum) 2-week course of RT. Sunitinib (37.5
Cerebral brain hemorrhage is associated with the highest mortality and morbidity despite only constituting approximately 10-15% of all strokes classified into intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage where most of the patients suffer from impairment in memory, weakness or paralysis in arms or
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this phase I dose-escalation study was to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sunitinib plus pemetrexed in patients with advanced cancer.
METHODS
Using a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design, patients received oral sunitinib qd by continuous daily dosing (CDD
Ablative neurosurgery has been used to treat Parkinson's disease for many decades. MRI-guided focused ultrasound allows focal lesions to be made in deep brain structures without skull incision. We investigated the safety and preliminary efficacy of unilateral subthalamotomy by focused ultrasound in
OBJECTIVE
To compare the degrees to which 8 domains of health are affected across types of cerebrovascular events and to identify factors associated with domain scores in different event types.
METHODS
This was an observational cohort study of 2,181 patients with ischemic stroke, intracerebral
The pandemic novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a global concern in which respiratory system is not the only one involved. Previous researches have presented the common clinical manifestations including respiratory symptoms (i.e., fever and cough), fatigue and myalgia. However, there is
Ninety-two patients with heart failure refractory to digitalis and diuretic therapy had captopril (n = 50) or placebo (n = 42) added to their therapeutic regimen in a randomized, double-blind trial. During a 2 week dosage titration period, one captopril-treated patient died of an intracerebral
BACKGROUND
Angiogenesis is implicated in the pathophysiology and progression of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Vatalanib (PTK787/ZK222584; Novartis and Schering AG) inhibits receptor tyrosine kinases of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet derived growth factor and c-Kit. We examined
OBJECTIVE
Angiogenic blockade with irradiation may enhance the therapeutic ratio of radiation therapy (RT) through vascular normalization. We sought to determine the safety and toxicity profile of continuous daily-dosed sunitinib when combined with hypofractionated stereotactic RT (fSRT) for
