Abstract Bortezomib, in combination with dexamethasone (VD) or the addition of cyclophosphamide (VCD), is highly effective patients amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Currently, VCD considered as a primary regimen for AL, but it not clear whether to VD further and significantly improves efficacy, given substantial activity bortezomib itself. We retrospectively compared outcomes 101 AL amyloidosis who received ( n =59) =42) two consecutive periods. Early mortality after adjustment Mayo...

Abstract Introduction Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have been presented microcirculation alterations and vascular endothelial dysfunction. Exercise training programs, including inspiratory muscle (IMT) as an alternative/additional means of exercise, shown to improve the functional status these patients. However, there has not much data on acute effect IMT systemic microcirculation. Purpose The aim this study was investigate session non-exercising muscles (systemic effect) in CHF...
Abstract Introduction Chronic heart failure (CHF) has been characterized with microcirculation and endothelial abnormalities, as well impaired function of the respiratory system. Exercise training programs have an important component CHF rehabilitation. Inspiratory muscle (IMT), a supplementary form exercise, induces beneficial effects on functional status patients; however, there not much data its systemic microcirculation. Purpose The aim study was to evaluate effect addition IMT regime...
Background/Objectives: The etiology of diffuse gingival enlargement is multifactorial, and the definitive diagnosis may be challenging. To highlight nuances differential diagnosis, we present two cases generalized overgrowth discuss diagnostic dilemmas. Case description: In first case, an 82-year-old male with a medical history hypertension prostatitis had chief complaint symptomatic oral lesions 20-day duration, accompanied by fever loss appetite. clinical examination revealed diffusely...

We report the case of a 63-year-old patient with myasthenia gravis (MG) due to acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR) who underwent colectomy colon adenoma and developed myasthenic crisis anastomosis leakage after surgery. The two plasma exchanges, 4 6 days preoperatively, received intravenous prednisolone immunoglobulin infusion crisis, which included primarily bulbar symptoms. on 10th postoperative day bowel obstruction symptoms required surgical repair ileostomy. Bowel occurred in AChR...
Background: Bortezomib/dexamethasone with cyclophosphamide or melphalan are commonly used as primary treatment for AL amyloidosis, but limited data exist on the safety and activity of bortezomib IMiDs combinations. Aims: To evaluate VRD combination in newly diagnosed, previously untreated patients amyloidosis. Methods: Between March 2017 2018, 34 consecutive diagnosed amyloidosis were treated VRD; standard organ involvement updated hematologic response criteria used. Results: The median age...
