Philadelphia-like (Ph-like) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a high-risk subset of B-cell ALL characterized by high rates of treatment failure. Unsatisfactory outcomes with frontline therapy in adults with Ph-like ALL have been observed irrespective of the employed regimen, including modern pediatric-inspired regimens. Notably, Ph-like ALL is not an uncommon entity in adults, and it's prevalence extends to older patients with B-cell ALL. As the majority of Ph-like ALL cases harbor genetic alterations in kinases and/or cytokine receptors, the integration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in newly diagnosed patients and poor early responders with Ph-like ALL has emerged as an area of active research with several ongoing clinical trials. AZ191 DYRK inhibitor Furthermore, the encouraging activity of novel therapies such as inotuzumab and blinatumomab in chemo-refractory B-cell ALL has promoted an interest in introducing these agents early in Ph-like ALL management, which may lead to improved cure rates with frontline therapies, sparing more adults from undergoing early allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Finally, the high relapse rate in patients with Ph-like ALL, does not necessary correlate with early minimal residual disease (MRD) response, raising the question of consolidation with allogenic HCT in all adults with Ph-like ALL in first complete remission irrespective of MRD response.Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) among older adults continues to be associated with a dismal prognosis. Novel effective immunotherapies and targeted agents are expected to address unmet needs in adult ALL. This review has summarized recent evidence to determine whether these approaches can lead to the decreased use of chemotherapy among older adults with ALL and result in improved outcomes.Relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) has a poor prognosis. While the heterogeneity and diversity of R/R AML pose hurdles towards defining a standard of care, there have been various advances over the years. These, however, have added to the complexity of decision-making for R/R AML. This review has summarized evidence that will provide insights into factors that influence treatment choices in R/R AML and determine whether ongoing clinical trials can aid in identifying a standard approach for different sub-groups of patients.In the engineering practice, lacking of data especially labeled data typically hinders the wide application of deep learning in mechanical fault diagnosis. However, collecting and labeling data is often expensive and time-consuming. To address this problem, a kind of semi-supervised meta-learning networks (SSMN) with squeeze-and-excitation attention is proposed for few-shot fault diagnosis in this paper. SSMN consists of a parameterized encoder, a non-parameterized prototype refinement process and a distance function. Based on attention mechanism, the encoder is able to extract distinct features to generate prototypes and enhance the identification accuracy. With semi-supervised few-shot learning, SSMN utilizes unlabeled data to refine original prototypes for better fault recognition. A combinatorial learning optimizer is designed to optimize SSMN efficiently. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through three bearing vibration datasets and the results indicate the outstanding adaptability in different situations. Comparison with other approaches is also made under the same setup and the experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed method for few-shot fault diagnosis.
Internal fixation is currently considered the gold standard in treatment for femoral neck fractures in adults. However, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after internal fixation would occur in quite proportion of patients with femoral neck fracture, even in Garden I femoral neck fracture. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the blood biomarkers (serum albumin, pre-albumin, total protein and total lymphocyte count) and ONFH following internal fixation of Garden I femoral neck fracture in adults.
This is a single center cohort study, in which each patient who sustained a Garden I femoral neck fracture had been treated with internal fixation, and had adequate preoperative blood examinations. The serum albumin was categorized as ≥ 40g/L or < 40g/L. The pre-albumin was categorized as ≥ 22mg/dL or < 22mg/dL. The total protein was categorized as ≥ 65g/L or < 65 g/L. The total lymphocyte count was categorized as ≥1.1× 10
/L or <1.1×10
/L. Multivariate cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the association between blood markers and the osteonecrosis of femoral head during the 2-years follow-up period controlling the confounders.
A total of 10 cases of ONFH were identified. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low total lymphocyte count and hypertension state were significant independent risk factors for ONFH after internal fixation for Garden I femoral head fractures.
Blood biomarkers were potential predictors for ONFH after internal fixation Garden I femoral neck fractures. We suggest that routine laboratory tests might can be used to assist surgeons to identify patients at great risk of ONFH.

Ankle sprain lesions are the most common ligament lesions in humans. One particularly dangerous consequence of this pathology is an inability to quickly and sufficiently depress the brake pedal when driving a car. The high incidence of the lesion, in the context of a society that is highly automobile-dependent, makes the question "When can a patient safely drive a car again?" of particular socioeconomic importance.
Though orthopaedic physicians are often confronted with this question, finding an answer in the sparse literature on the topic proves difficult. This study aims to provide a definitive answer to this question.
Prospective Case Control Study.
30 patients with grad II and III ligament injuries of the right ankle (18 women, 12 men) and 30 healthy volunteers (19 women, 11 men) participated in this study. Brake reaction time (BRT) was assessed using a previously reported custom-made driving simulator. BRT was assessed two, four and six weeks after injury. Simultaneously the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle Hindfoot Score (AOFAS-AHS) was assessed.
