Mortality and Cancer Incidence After Exposure to Blue Asbestos in Childhood: A Further 10 Years of Follow‐Up

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The impact of early‐life exposure to asbestos on disease risk remains uncertain. Childhood exposure to blue asbestos at Wittenoom has previously been linked to the development of malignant mesothelioma and various cancers in adulthood, as well as to a greater risk of all‐cause mortality compared with the general population.

Discrimination between pleural thickening and minimal pleural effusion using color Doppler chest ultrasonography

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Background: The discrimination of pleural thickening from minimal pleural effusion may be difficult as both lesions appear as anechoic on grayscale ultrasound, hence, free of “echoes” does not confirm the presence of pleural fluid.

Maternal Sirolimus Treatment Reverses Cardiac Rhabdomyoma‐Induced Hydrops Fetalis in a Twin Gestation With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Summary 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.

Hierarchical clustering of clinical and flow cytometry parameters is associated with deterioration in patients with community‐acquired pneumonia in the emergency department: A preliminary study

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anticipating the evolution of septic patients with community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging for front‐line physicians in the Emergency Department (ED). Prognosis depends mainly on early identification, antibiotics, organ support, but also immune status.

Cytological Assessment of Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in Ascitic Fluid

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms typically arising in the stomach and small intestine and rarely involving extra‐gastrointestinal organs. While fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) offers reliable diagnosis, exfoliation of GIST cells into body fluids is exceedingly rare and diagnostically challenging.

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.
