Article Abstract
Neutropenic enterocolitis, or typhlitis, is an unusual acute complication of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, characterized by inflammatory process involving colon and/or small bowel that may progress to necrosis, haemorrhage, perforation and septicaemia. Typhlitis is usually seen in the setting of severe chemotherapy-induced neutropenia for acute leukaemia. Nevertheless, it is increasingly recognized as a complication of therapy in solid tumors. We present a case of typhlitis in a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received pemetrexed, as second-line chemotherapy treatment.

Background: Peltopepimut-S is a therapeutic vaccine, which induces specific expansion of both CD4+helper and CD8+cytotoxic T-cells against human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6/E7 oncoproteins.
Patients And Methods: In a randomized phase 2 trial, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of peltopepimut-S plus cemiplimab compared with cemiplimab alone as first-line or second-line therapy in recurrent/metastatic HPV16-positive head and neck cancer. The primary efficacy endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) by an independent review (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.

Benzodiazepine and non-benzodiazepine hypnotics (Z-drugs) are known risk factors for adverse events, including delirium and falls. Although formularies are intended to promote appropriate prescribing, few comprehensive studies have assessed their clinical impact in the context of sleep medications. This study aimed to evaluate changes in hypnotic prescribing patterns and associated clinical outcomes following the implementation of a sleep medication formulary.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), particularly when it involves the central nervous system (CNS), remains a significant clinical challenge. Cerebral tuberculoma, though rare, can present with complex symptoms that overlap with other neurological conditions, making timely diagnosis difficult. The condition demands a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and effective management, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities.
