Assiduous surveillance for genetic aberrations is necessary in patients on cytotoxic therapies to detect therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN). Current modalities include metaphase cytogenetics and FISH. Since t-MN may develop abruptly in cytogenetically normal patients, a discussion exploring additional methods such as SNP-array and targeted-deep-sequencing to detect subchromosomal abnormalities is needed.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a rare but serious inflammatory disease of the heart that should be considered for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supportive therapy when it occurs. The diagnosis of FM is made more difficult in the context of Marfan's syndrome combined with aortic root dilation. We report a case of a patient on ECMO support and with comorbid Marfan's syndrome who was finally diagnosed with FM after computed tomography angiography (CTA) differentiated between FM, coronary artery disease, and aortic root dilation.

To analyze the clinical characteristics of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced type 1 diabetes (T1D). This was a retrospective case series study of clinical data from 24 patients with ICI-T1D admitted to People's Hospital of Henan Provincial between January 2018 and December 2024. The data collected included demographic characteristics, ICI usage, clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, and clinical outcome.

Background: The present case describes a rare presentation of sudden onset acute bilateral vision loss due to cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to malignant rise in intracranial pressure.
Case Presentation: A 23-year-old male patient presented with sudden onset bilateral loss of vision of one week duration. Best-corrected visual acuity was 6/18, N12, and perception of light in the right and left eye, respectively.

With opportunistic fungal pathogens increasingly recognized as a global public health threat, the population at high risk for invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has expanded beyond traditionally immunocompromised individuals-such as those with malignancies, organ transplantation, diabetes mellitus, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-to include critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) receiving invasive support and immunomodulatory therapies. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is one of the most lethal opportunistic infections in this population, characterized by insidious onset, clinical heterogeneity, and a lack of specific signs, often resulting in delayed diagnosis. Disseminated or breakthrough aspergillosis carries an exceedingly high mortality rate.

Background: Entrectinib, a recently approved multikinase inhibitor indicated for advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has demonstrated significant survival benefits in metastatic disease. However, it carries risks of severe cardiotoxicity. We report the successful management of entrectinib-induced fulminant myocarditis using integrated venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) circulatory support.
