Choreoathetosis is a rare complication of paraneoplastic syndrome, particularly associated with small cell lung cancer. We report case an elderly woman cancer who was diagnosed choreoathetosis due to autoimmune-mediated syndrome. The differential diagnoses for focal neurological deficits such as stroke, immunotherapy-related toxicity, radiation-induced and brain metastasis were considered but the presence onconeural antibodies made syndrome more likely diagnosis. Management in can be...
523 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a primary liver malignancy, is one of the leading causes cancer-related mortality worldwide. The incidence and outcomes HCC vary significantly across racial groups. Secondary metastasis, key factor in disease progression prognosis, also appears to differ by race, though these disparities remain poorly understood. This study aims explore how race influences metastatic HCC, providing valuable insights into potential differences outcomes. Methods:...
32 Background: The prevalence of early-onset colorectal cancers (EOCRC) is rising globally. Disparities in social determinants health can delay access to treatment and impacting outcomes. This study aims analyze factors influencing time from diagnosis among EOCRC patients a racially diverse population, considering tumor sociodemographics. Methods: We analyzed data diagnosed between 2000 2022 at Queen’s Medical Center Honolulu, Hawaii. Time for Asians, Whites, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific...
31 Background: Rates of early-onset colorectal cancers (EOCRC) are increasing in Hawaii across all racial groups. Although previous studies have shown that Native Hawaiians a higher mortality rate compared to other groups, the adjustment for sociodemographic factors been limited. Our objective is perform comprehensive analysis outcomes among patients with EOCRC racially diverse population accounting tumor and patient sociodemographics. Methods: Patients diagnosed between 2000 2022 Hawaii....
671 Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers globally, with significant variations in disease outcomes observed across racial groups. Secondary metastasis plays a critical role determining prognosis and overall survival bladder patients. However, disparities metastatic progression remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate how race influences patterns patients using large national database. Methods: A retrospective analysis National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from...
<title>Abstract</title> Purpose Rates of early-onset colorectal cancers (EOCRC) are increasing in Hawaii across all racial groups. Previous studies have shown that Native Hawaiians a higher mortality rate compared to other groups, however these only performed limited adjustments for sociodemographic factors. Our objective is conduct comprehensive analysis outcomes among patients with EOCRC racially diverse population accounting tumor factors and patient sociodemographics. Method Data were...
Abstract Background: The American Cancer Society and National Institute, emphasize the critical need to disaggregate data for Asian, Native Hawaiian, Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) populations better understand racial disparities in cancer. NHOPI are highly diverse, with distinct genetic, cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds that can influence cancer outcomes. This study aims analyze other patients non-small cell lung (NSCLC) identify prognostic factors, treatment, Methods: Data were...
Background and aim Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) burdens hospitalized patients, particularly those with comorbidities. Colon cancer may worsen CDI severity outcomes. We aimed to assess outcomes in colon patients.
Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are novel nonsteroidal agents abused for performance enhancement such as anabolic steroids. We report a case of 27-year-old man who used 3 different SARMs and presented with progressive weakness. Initial laboratory testing showed kidney liver injury creatinine 4.8 mg/dL total bilirubin 43.3 mg/dL. An extensive workup was negative other causes, the results biopsies were consistent bile cast nephropathy because SARM-associated drug-induced injury....
Renal transplant recipients confront a substantially elevated susceptibility to renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly in their native kidneys as opposed allografts.
ABSTRACT. The clinical impact of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection secondary to immunosuppressive therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been an emerging topic interest, although characteristics infection in COVID-19 patients are not yet well characterized. This study summarizes the existing evidence and recommends future areas research. According PRISMA Extension Scoping Reviews, we performed a search on MEDLINE EMBASE articles with keywords including “ ,”...

Tanariyakul: Mannstadt: Heterozygous germline loss-of-function mutations in the MAX gene, encoding tumor suppressor MYC-associated factor X, are associated with hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (PCC/PGL) syndrome. Furthermore, there reports of patients who developed additional endocrine and non-endocrine tumors. Thus, presence multiple tumors has been proposed to...
Background: While blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, the relationship between BPV obtained in a very short interval and stroke unknown. We aim to examine association history of stroke. Hypothesis: Higher likelihood having Methods: A cross-sectional study using 2017-2020 NHANES included 3 consecutive BP measurements taken 60 seconds apart. The average real (ARV) systolic diastolic (AVR-SBP AVR-DBP) was assessed as an absolute difference BP....
