If the therapeutic role of immunotherapy is to be explored in PitNETs, it may be that it is of most benefit in the PD-L1 high subgroup. To study autoantibody profile in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and to look for phenotypic associations of these autoantibodies, if any. Thirty-four children with JDM with a minimum follow-up duration of 24mo were enrolled. Clinical findings and investigations at the time of diagnosis were noted from the clinic records. At inclusion, they were clinically evaluated for residual disease, disease activity and complications. All the enrolled patients were tested for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), muscle specific antibodies (MSA) and myositis associated autoantibodies (MAA). ANA positivity was seen in 14/34 children. At least one MSA or MAA was present in 8/34 children. Anti-SRP, anti-MDA-5, and anti-Mi-2 antibodies were present in 4, 3, and 1 patient, respectively. Anti-SSA/Ro52 antibody was positive in 1 child. All four children with anti-SRP antibody were girls, who had polycyclic course. Two of them developed calcinosis. Prominent skin involvement with less severe muscle involvement and monocyclic course the low positivity rate for autoantibodies.Sarcopenia and adipopenia have prognostic significance in cancer. Analysis of a single abdominal computed tomography (CT) section at the third lumbar vertebra has been widely adopted for this purpose. The approach using a single section at the first lumbar vertebra level (L1) may extend clinical viability. We evaluated the prognostic value of sarcopenia and adipopenia assessed using a CT section at L1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Data from 96 patients with available imaging were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with
