    .79 GBq (range 5.00–7.29 GBq). Normal organ absorbed doses, from lowest to highest, were red marrow (0.03 ± 0.03 Gy/GBq), total body (0.04 ± 0.03 Gy/GBq), liver (0.13 ± 0.33 Gy/GBq), salivary glands (0.65 ± 0.42 Gy/GBq), and kidneys (0.72 ± 0.36 Gy/GBq...Objective: 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT) is increasingly used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Posttreatment dosimetry is essential for assessing normal organ absorbed doses. Therefore, this study aims

    Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a rare, life-threatening disease with acquired pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. ESCALATE evaluated eltrombopag in combination with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in pediatric patients (aged 1 to <18 years...) with relapsed/ refractory (R/R) or treatment-naïve SAA. The eltrombopag starting dose was 25 mg/d for patients aged 1 to <6 years and 50 mg/d for patients aged 6 to <18 years; dose modifications (maximum dose, 150 mg/d) were allowed to achieve a target platelet

    Natural Polyphenol Corilagin Enhances Osteogenesis and Chondrogenesis Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Implications for Bone and Cartilage Regeneration

    pharmacological properties, its potential role in regulating bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) differentiation has not been fully explored in biomedical applications. In this study, we investigated the effects of corilagin on BM-MSC viability, protein....56 to 50 µg/mL within 48 h, whereas prolonged exposure resulted in a time-dependent reduction in viability. In BM-MSCs, corilagin significantly enhanced osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, as evidenced by increased

    Severe falciparum malaria treated with artesunate complicated by delayed onset haemolysis and acute kidney injury
    (2015) Katherine Plewes; Haider, Md Shafiul; Kingston, Hugh W F; Yeo, Tsin W; Aniruddha Ghose; Hossain, Md Amir; Dondorp, Arjen M; Turner, Gareth D H; Anstey, Nicholas M; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicine. Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit
    Background: Severe falciparum malaria may be complicated by haemolysis after parasite clearance, however the mechanisms remain unclear. Recent reports describe a pattern of delayed onset haemolysis among non-immune travellers with hyperparasitaemia treated with intravenous artesunate, termed post-artesunate delayed haemolysis (PADH). The occurrence and clinical impact of PADH following severe malaria infections in areas of unstable transmission are unknown. Case: A 45-year-old Bangladeshi male was initially admitted to a local hospital with severe falciparum malaria complicated by hyperparasitaemia and treated with intravenous artesunate. Twenty days from his first presentation he was readmitted with delayed onset haemolytic anaemia and acute kidney injury. Multiple blood transfusions and haemodialysis were required. Renal biopsy revealed acute tubular injury and haem pigment nephropathy. His haemoglobin and renal function recovered to baseline after 62 days from his second admission. Discussion: This case highlights the differential diagnosis of post-malaria delayed onset haemolysis, including the recently described syndrome of post-artemisinin delayed haemolysis. The pathophysiology contributing to acute kidney injury in this patient and the limited treatment options are discussed. Conclusions: This report describes PADH complicated by acute kidney injury in an adult patient living in a malaria hypoendemic region who subsequently required blood transfusions and haemodialysis. This case emphasizes the importance of routine follow up of haemoglobin and renal function in artesunate-treated patients who have recovered from severe malaria.
