Radical pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis

Journal of cardiac surgery, 2018
We studied the impact of radical pericardiectomy on early and long‐term patient survival, postoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis compared

Ascitic Fluid Analysis Leading to the Diagnosis of Constrictive Pericarditis in 2 Patients

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2022
Although well documented, constrictive pericarditis is a rare entity and an uncommon cause of heart failure. A stiff and noncompliant pericardium creates the disease’s unique hemodynamics and leads to elevated venous pressures, hepatic sinusoidal ...

The Evolving Landscape of Immunotoxicity: Charting Mechanisms and Future Strategies for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Adverse Events

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

Dosimetric assessment of conventional and advanced algorithms in clinical stereotactic radiotherapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
A comprehensive comparison of Type B (Ray Tracing, AAA) and Type C (Monte Carlo, Acuros XB) algorithms in 125 SRT/SBRT cases across homogeneous and heterogeneous tissues using CyberKnife and Varian systems. In lung cases, Type B algorithms overestimated D95% by up to 14%.

Biologics and Small‐Molecule Therapies in Netherton Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare congenital ichthyosis caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the SPINK5 gene, leading to defective expression of the serine protease inhibitor LEKTI. Dysregulated epidermal protease activity results in impaired skin barrier function and chronic inflammation, accompanied by complex immune profiles. NS patients

Treatment options for immune‐related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The immunotherapy revolution with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) started with the clinical use of the first ICI, ipilimumab, in 2011. Since then, the field of ICI therapy has rapidly expanded — with the FDA approval of 10 different ICI drugs so far and their incorporation into the therapeutic regimens of a range of malignancies.
