The 3 pairs of parameters (R and APTT, K and APTT, and α angle and FIB) were in agreement for identifying hypercoagulability, while R and APTT, K and APTT, K and PLT, and α angle and PLT were in agreement for identifying hypocoagulability. The AUROC of parameter R for detecting symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was 0.817, while that of parameter FIB for predicting early neurological deterioration was 0.887.Parameter FIB derived from CCT might be advantageous for evaluating early neurological deterioration, while parameter R detected by TEG might be superior for evaluating symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.INTRODUCTION Giant juvenile breast fibroadenoma can cause deformity and should be excised. Cosmesis is an important consideration in young patients. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was admitted to our hospital for a mass of 6 × 6 cm in her left breast. DIAGNOSE A giant juvenile fibroadenoma. INTERVENTIONS With the help of Mammotome, we translated the larger mass to smaller one and removed it via a small circumareolar incision with no residual tumor. OUTCOMES There was no recurrence of disease after 2 years. CONCLUSION Mammotome-combined resection is a new approach that can be used to excise giant fibroadenomas with a minimal incision, and provides a favorable contour to the breast.RATIONALE Although the early detection and treatment of non-metastatic esophageal cancer has improved, these patients' prognoses are still poor. Most patients with radical treatment for esophageal cancer will relapse in 3 years, and the best treatment strategy after recurrence has not been uniformly accepted. Multiform treatments may be beneficial to recurrent patients. PATIENT CONCERNS A 60-year-old male patient, due to routinely health examination, ulcerated lesions 30 cm away from the incisors were found by gastroscopy, pathology showed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). DIAGNOSIS Due to the patient's pathology, he was diagnosed with ESCC. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent radical surgery for ESCC on June 28, 2015. The left cervical lymph node metastasis occurred after 20 months, and lymph node metastasis carcinoma resection was performed. After that, concurrent chemoradiotherapy was implemented, 40 days after the end of the 4 courses of chemotherapy, the left cervical metastatic lymph nodes relaor of PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL), a single predictor may be unconvincing and cannot accurately estimate the efficacy of immunotherapy. Multiplex detecting methods and combined biomarkers may provide new strategies. Consensus need to be reached in order to be widely applied in future studies.INTRODUCTION Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent an important advance in the treatment of melanoma. ICIs may induce autoimmune phenomena caused by concurrent activation of the immune system against normal cells. During the last years, cases of musculoskeletal side effects, especially immune-mediated arthritis (IA), have been increasingly reported. PATIENT CONCERNS We present a 59-year-old woman, who was treated with pembrolizumab for a relapsed BRAF V600E mutated cutaneous malignant melanoma. The patient presented with right knee arthritis on week 30. DIAGNOSIS The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum C-reactive protein levels were elevated, while rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies were negative. Imaging confirmed the presence of fluid mainly in the suprapatellar bursa. Synovial fluid analysis revealed an inflammatory effusion, while other etiologies of inflammatory arthritis were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Arthritis improved with an intra-articular injection of 8 mg dexamethasone. Twelve days later the arthritis relapsed in both knees, and although it was resistant to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory treatment, it improved with systemic steroids. Tapering of methylprednisolone dose was feasible with the coadministration of leflunomide and subsequently hydroxychloroquine. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/rbn-2397.html OUTCOMES Arthritis resolved and the patient is free of complications and disease activity 20 months after the initiation of the second line systemic treatment. CONCLUSIONS We present an unusual case of IA associated with pembrolizumab treatment. The originality of the current report is based on the late occurrence, the monoarticular initial distribution, and uncommon location of IA at the knee.INTRODUCTION Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females. Rectal cancer (RC) accounts for about 28% of all newly diagnosed CRC cases. The treatment of choice for locally advanced RC is a combination of surgical resection and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. These patients can potentially be cured, but the clinical outcome depends on the tumor biology. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is an important biomarker in CRC, with crucial diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive implications. It is important to develop a noninvasive, repeatable, and reproducible method to reflect the microsatellite status. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been recommended as the preferred imaging examination for RC in clinical practice by both the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines. T2WI is the core sequence of MRI scanning protocol for RC. Radiomics, the high-throughput mining of quantitative image featur integration. The diagnostic performance of these 3 models was evaluated in the testing cohort based on their area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. DISCUSSION This study will help us know whether radiomics model based on T2WI images to preoperative identify MSI status of RC.Although early detection and intervention may improve the outcome of the congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection, few studies assessed the real-world clinical practice for cCMV patients. We analyzed medical claims data to assess the patterns of diagnoses and medical care for cCMV patients.We used a subset of medical claims database (JMDC Claims Database) in Japan, covering 207,547 newborns between April 2010 and March 2017 and observed for at least 6 months. The diagnosis of cCMV and related symptoms and sequelae and medical care, including essential examinations and antiviral treatment, were identified using standardized codes.Overall, we identified 53 (25.5 per 100,000 newborns) cCMV patients diagnosed within 6 months after birth; of these, 83% were diagnosed within 1 month and 68% had at least 1 cCMV-related symptom at birth. Objective hearing tests and fundus examinations were performed within 6 months in 60% and 30% of patients, respectively. Antivirals were prescribed in 26% of patients. During the observation period (median = 33 months), sensorineural hearing loss (49%) and developmental problems (28%) were commonly identified as cCMV-related sequelae.
