The complexity of CRS is apparent from the many individ- ual risk factors that have been associated with this diagno- sis, and the inability of any single risk factor to explain the syndrome. Factors include atopy, humoral immunodefi- ciency and other immune deviations, autocrine and[r]

In this study, we examined patients who had non-progressive disease for at least 2 years after diagnosis of inoperable locoregional recurrent or metastatic breast cancer under continuous trastuzumab treatment.

Hepatitis B virus is one of the most common causes of liver failure in the world. Hepatitis B virus-related acute liver failure (HBV-ALF) may occur after acute hepatitis B or acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B. HBV-ALF can result in high mortality.

Cases of non-traumatic splenic rupture are rare and entails a potentially grave medical outcome. Hence, it is important to consider the differential diagnosis of a non-traumatic splenic rupture in patients with acute or insidious abdominal pain.
