Quality of life, depression, daytime sleepiness and fatigue in Omani people with epilepsy: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder that can adversely affect multiple life domains, including mental health, sleep quality, and overall well-being. In Oman, where modern healthcare services have expanded substantially, limited data exist on how these factors influence the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adults with epilepsy. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate HRQoL and its relationships with depression, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue in Omani adults with epilepsy.

Novel Devimistat Results in Complete Remissions in Heavily Pre-Treated Burkitt Lymphoma in a phase II trial.

Patients with primary refractory or relapsed (RR) MYC-driven aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as Burkitt lymphoma (BL), plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), and double/triple hit lymphoma (DHL), have a dismal prognosis with few survivors. The deregulated MYC protein drives proliferation with dependence on tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates as biosynthetic precursors. Devimistat disrupts mitochondrial production of ATP and biosynthetic intermediates.

BRCA1/2 impact on the development of implant-associated lymphoma in women with breast cancer and textured implants.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a type of T-cell lymphoma arising near textured breast implants. In a Dutch population, a higher prevalence of BRCA1/2 was found in BIA-ALCL. We analyzed the risk of BIA-ALCL occurrence related to BRCA in a large population of women with implants followed after breast cancer (BC) mastectomy.
