Ocular facial myositis and sialadenitis presenting with new onset ulcerative colitis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Extra‐intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can involve most organ systems, although the immunologic underpinnings are not well understood. Most patients who present with an extra‐intestinal manifestation have a single site of extra‐intestinal involvement; however, a small cohort presents with multiple different sites ...

A Refractory Leg Skin Ulcer Associated With Multiple Myeloma Successfully Treated With Plasma Exchange, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder that primarily presents with CRAB symptoms (calcium elevation, renal failure, anemia, and bone abnormalities). In rare cases, MM manifests with systemic complications like skin ulcers, which present management challenges. Here, we report a 78‐year‐old Japanese man with MM and refractory

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
