This multicenter phase II study first investigated the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) when given every 3 weeks to patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer who had received a prior round of fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy. Patients
Lymphopenia during radiotherapy (RT) may have an adverse effect on treatment outcome. The aim of this study is to investigate associations between lymphopenia and RT parameters in patients with advanced lung cancer. Moreover, to investigate the prognostic role of lymphopenia, blood The number of patients who are administered immunosuppressive agents has been increasing. Accordingly, more patients face higher risks for developing immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD). Although immunodeficiency-associated LPD are distinct from other lymphoid neoplasms
BACKGROUND
The authors investigated how lymphopenia and low serum albumin levels correlate with the prognosis of patients with carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP).
METHODS
Univariate and multivariate prognostic factor analyses were conducted in a population of 317 consecutive patients with CUP who
The main aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors and consequence of LTCFs-acquired infections in Taiwan through a 16-month follow-up. This prospective cohort study invited residents of 10 private LTCFs in Taipei for study. For each participant, Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS), use of
There is limited information available describing the clinical and epidemiological features of Spanish patients requiring hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this observational study, we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and epidemiological features of severe
Age-related immune impairment may be one of the factors influencing successful and pathological aging, being strongly tied to nutritional status. Several long term cohort studies suggest that a lower total lymphocyte count is associated with higher mortality. Nevertheless, prevalence, incidence and
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to clarify the association between nutritional state on admission and in-hospital death in tuberculosis (TB) patients, including a high proportion of elderly patients.
METHODS
A retrospective cohort study of 246 TB patients was conducted. The serum albumin
BACKGROUND
We observed 2 cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) occurring in HIV-negative patients during treatment with dose-dense chemotherapy with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by paclitaxel (T). These represent the first case reports of PCP occurring during dose-dense
BACKGROUND
A frequent manifestation of advanced NSCLC is malnutrition, even though there are many studies which relate it with a poor survival, its relation with toxicity has not yet been consistently reported. The aim of this study was to associate malnutrition and albumin serum levels with the
BACKGROUND
The prognostic significance of hypoalbuminemia and the dynamic changes in serum albumin during hospitalization in internal medicine wards has not been sufficiently investigated.
METHODS
Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 276 patients admitted to our internal
BACKGROUND
In patients hospitalized with decompensated biventricular failure having hypoalbuminemia and lymphocytopenia without underlying hepatic or renal disease, we addressed the presence of a protein-losing enteropathy (PLE).
METHODS
We studied 78 patients having a dilated cardiomyopathy, who
OBJECTIVE
Lymphopenia is a common consequence of chemoradiation therapy yet is seldom addressed clinically. This study was conducted to determine if patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) treated with definitive chemoradiation develop significant lymphopenia and if this affects
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical, laboratory, and radiologic features of 34 cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Beijing.
METHODS
All patients were admitted to the isolation wards. Their demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiologic characteristics were analyzed. Univariate and
The clinical and laboratory features of 18 adult pellagrins are reviewed. Only four patients (22%) had the full trial of dermatitis, diarrhea and dementia. Dermatitis alone occurred in six(33%), dementia in five(28%) and dermatitis and diarrhea in three(17%). In one patient, dermentia was the
