Clinical profile and treatment outcome of older (>75 years) patients with systemic AL amyloidosis
Systemic AL amyloidosis, a disease with improving outcomes using novel therapies, is increasingly recognized in the elderly but treatment and outcomes have not been systematically studied in this group of patients in whom comorbidities and frailty may ...

Co-populated Conformational Ensembles of β(2)-Microglobulin Uncovered Quantitatively by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Ordered assembly of monomeric human β(2)-microglobulin (β(2)m) into amyloid fibrils is associated with the disorder hemodialysis-related amyloidosis. Previously, we have shown that under acidic conditions (pH

The complementary role of histology and proteomics for diagnosis and typing of systemic amyloidosis
The tissue diagnosis of amyloidosis and confirmation of fibril protein type, which are crucial for clinical management, have traditionally relied on Congo red (CR) staining followed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using fibril protein specific antibodies ...

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease
Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region, whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

Abstract Hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) are benign liver tumors associated with bleeding or malignant transformation. Data on the indication for surgery are scarce. We analyzed indications and outcome of patients operated for HCAs < 50 mm compared to HCAs ≥ 50 mm. Changes in final postoperative diagnosis were assessed.

Prognostic mortality factors in advanced light chain cardiac amyloidosis: A prospective cohort study
Aims Predicting mortality in severe AL cardiac amyloidosis is challenging due to elevated biomarker levels and limited thresholds for stratifying severe cardiac damage.

Dissociation of the native transthyretin (TTR) tetramer is widely accepted as the critical step in TTR amyloid fibrillogenesis. It is modelled by exposure of the protein to non-physiological low pH in vitro and is inhibited by small molecule compounds ...

Acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease: From congestive heart failure to light chain deposition disease and cast nephropathy in multiple myeloma [PDF]
Acute on chronic renal failure is a common but notably broad diagnosis. We present a 64-year-old man with a history of diastolic heart failure and chronic kidney disease, admitted for an elevated creatinine.
