The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCC) following radical surgery.

The clinicopathological data of 59 patients with DCC were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were treated by radical surgery and diagnosed by postoperative pathology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (Yunnan, China), between July 2015 and December 2017. The optimal cut-off value for the NLR was determined by generating receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the risk factors and independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients with DCC.

According to the ROC curve, the optimal cut-off value for the NLR was 2.933. The results of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazards model showed that carbohydrate antigen 125, NLR, perineural, vascular and fat invasion, regional lymph node metastasis, and the American Joint Committee on Cancer stage were risk factors for DCC; the only independent risk factor to affect the prognosis of DCC patients was the NLR.

The preoperative NLR plays an important guiding role in evaluating the prognosis of patients with DCC, and an increase in the NLR is associated with poor patient prognosis.

The persistent loss of consciousness caused by general anesthesia without the existence of repeated 90-minute cycles of non-REM and REM sleep might significantly disturb and suppress the cycle of normal physiological sleep in postoperative periods after general anesthesia. Patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with existing circadian rhythm disorder are reported to rapidly deteriorate due to acute sleep disorder during the perioperative period after general anesthesia.A melatonin receptor agonist, ramelteon (Rozerem), which is a sleep cycle regulator, is used as a therapeutic drug for patients with sleep disorders, but there are no studies on the prevention of postoperative sleep disorder after general anesthesia.In this study, we investigate whether prophylactic administration of a sleep-inducing substance, a melatonin receptor agonist, is effective against sleep disorder after general anesthesia in patients with ASD.

This study is intended for patients with ASD aged 12 years and above who underg by decreasing the difficulty of falling asleep in insomnia. If sleep disorder can be prevented after the administration of general anesthesia in patients with ASD, we can support social participation while maintaining their quality of life.

With the development of endoscopic techniques, endoscopic therapy began to play an important role in the management of esophageal hemangiomas.

A large esophageal submucosal tumor (2.5 cm), which was suspected to be an esophageal hemangioma, was diagnosed in a 50-year-old woman.

Esophageal hemangioma INTERVENTIONS Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed for tumor removal.

T0070907 molecular weight revealed hemangioma. No complication or recurrence was observed in the 17-month follow-up period.

Our successful experience showed that endoscopic submucosal dissection is an effective and a safe approach to treat large esophageal hemangiomas (2.5 cm).

Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a commonly occurring tumor comprising immature myeloid cells, which are usually related to acute or chronic myelocytic leukemia. The tumor rarely precedes leukemia without bone marrow involvement and is called primary GS. Although primary GS can occur in any body part, the involvement of the oral cavity is uncommon.

A 49-year-old woman hospitalized at the Department of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery presented with a growing mass in her left maxillary hard palate dating two months back. No obvious physical findings were noted during general examination. She was diagnosed with an oral ulcer at a local clinic, and received antibiotics. However, the symptoms did not improve; the mass became bigger and painful.

An incisional biopsy of the oral mass was performed, the immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells tested positive for myeloperoxidase, CD4, BCL-2, KI-67. Bone marrow aspiration was negative for malignant cells, and the laboratory test results revealed only monocf oral primary GS. Early aggressive systemic chemotherapy can effectively relieve symptoms, significantly reducing primary GS conversion into acute myelocytic leukemia and prolonging overall survival.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic has spread from Wuhan, China in December, 2019 to 216 countries and territories as of September 10, 2020 with 27.74 million cases and 899,911 confirmed deaths. link2 The spectrum of disease is most commonly seen as a viral pneumonia with high grade fevers, shortness of breath, dry cough, and chest pain with radiologic evidence of bilateral, interstitial, ground glass opacities, and peripheral lung consolidation. Liver chemistries are frequently abnormal, with transaminases shown to be one-two times the upper limit of normal in most instances. The full spectrum of gastrointestinal involvement of the SARS-CoV-2 infection has yet to be fully seen.Patient concerns We present a case of a young woman with SLE who developed severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, rapidly progressing to acute hepatic failure and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. She had no respiratory symptoms.

A thorough work-up of acute liv considered in those with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Although the cancer incidence continues to rise, cancer mortality has declined over the past decade, in large part due to more efficacious chemotherapeutic regimens thus, the ability to use first-line chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of patients with cancer is crucial. Antineoplastic agents can potentially cause toxic and/or hypersensitivity reactions, that can have serious consequences. Anaphylaxis is a big pitfall in oncological patients; the most important aspect in diagnosing anaphylaxis is to precisely identify the offending agent to prevent future events. link3 Paclitaxel (Taxol) is widely used as antitumor medication in the ovarian, breast, non-small-cell lung, and other cancers. Paclitaxel hypersensitivity reactions are frequently described in the literature, but fatalities are rarely reported. Due to the low solubility of paclitaxel, the compound requires dissolution in Cremophor EL, a derivative of castor oil.

A 79-year-old man was affected by high-grade non-papillary urothelial carcinoma and c reactions of Taxol cause substantial anxiety for doctors and caretakers. They also represent a significant logistic and financial burden on hospitals. Despite premedication, skin testing, and desensitization protocols administration of taxane-based, chemotherapy cannot be considered safe and severe to fatal hypersensitivity reactions cannot be prevented.

The unpredictability and often dramatic reactions of Taxol cause substantial anxiety for doctors and caretakers. They also represent a significant logistic and financial burden on hospitals. Despite premedication, skin testing, and desensitization protocols administration of taxane-based, chemotherapy cannot be considered safe and severe to fatal hypersensitivity reactions cannot be prevented.

Legionnaires' disease is caused by Legionella bacteria, and commonly manifests as pneumonia and has a high fatality rate.

This case study reports on the fatal incident of a patient, initially diagnosed with pneumonia, and subsequently diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease caused by a new sequence type (ST) of Legionella.

It is speculated that the patient acquired Legionnaires' disease from a contaminated water source. Legionnaires' disease was diagnosed using the Legionella urinary antigen assay and bacterial cultures of respiratory secretions; Legionella pneumophilia Type 1 was also identified through serological testing. Sequence-based typing of the cultured bacterium revealed it to be a previously unidentified species, and it was named ST2345 new-type.

In addition to the treatment of Legionnaires' disease, blood samples taken on the second day of admission showed a co-infection of Candida tropicalis, which was treated with anti-fungal treatment. The patient improved after a week, however, on the seventh day of administration lower respiratory secretions showed the growth of Klebsiella pneumonia, indicative of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Despite active treatment, the patient passed away due to multiple organ failure. As this was a fatal case, further research is needed to determine whether the critical condition of this case was related to the virulence of the novel Legionella strain.

A key finding of this study is that treatment for suspected Legionnaires' disease must be administered rapidly, as infection with Legionella may give rise to secondary pathogenic infections.

Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign condition characterized by heterotopic bone formation in the skeletal muscle of extremities. Marked variation can occur in the incidence and location of the bone formed as well as resulting complications. Femoral vessel obstruction caused by MO is an extremely rare but disabling complication. Arterial occlusion may aggravate ischemic conditions, resulting in necrosis in the lower extremity.

We report a 41-year-old female with progressive pain and swelling of the right thigh region for 1 year.

We diagnosed it as obstruction of the superficial femoral artery and vein caused by external compression of the MO between the sartorius and vastus medialis of the thigh.

Adherent tissues and mass were excised with care without damaging the femoral artery or the vein. However, normal morphology did not recover due to loss of elasticity of femoral vessels. Therefore, after resection of the narrowed region of the femoral artery, a femoral-to-femoral graft interposition using the greater saphenous vein was performed.
