Article Abstract

The clinical expert consensus statement on takotsubo syndrome (TTS) part II focuses on the diagnostic workup, outcome, and management. The recommendations are based on interpretation of the limited clinical trial data currently available and experience of international TTS experts. It summarizes the diagnostic approach, which may facilitate correct and timely diagnosis. Furthermore, the document covers areas where controversies still exist in risk stratification and management of TTS. Based on available data the document provides recommendations on optimal care of such patients for practising physicians.

Blood pressure variability (BPV), independent of mean BP, is an emerging predictor of cardiovascular risk and hypertension-mediated organ damage. However, its clinical utility remains limited due to the lack of clear guideline recommendations, leading to variability in physician practices. Using the modified Delphi method, this is the first Egyptian consensus to provide expert recommendations for integrating BPV in Egypt's resource-limited settings.

Skull base reconstruction is a critical component of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS). Bed rest remains an indispensable element of post-operative care, which should be carefully considered for reducing the risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and enhancing surgical outcomes (1, 2). However, the necessity of bed rest continues to be controversial as indicated by the expert consensus on perioperative management of skull base reconstruction, due to a lack of high-quality evidence to support its effectiveness (1-4).

IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Istituto di Ematologia "Seràgnoli", Bologna, Italy; Dipartimento di Scienze Mediche e Chirurgiche, Università di Bologna, Bologna, Italy. Electronic address:

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Despite its transformative potential, significant challenges persist in optimizing patient identification and referral pathways to ensure timely and equitable access. This expert consensus, developed through the Delphi methodology, analyzes key barriers to the referral process and proposes structured solutions to enhance collaboration between referring treatment centers (RTCs) and qualified treatment centers (QTCs).

Sonazoid, a combined blood pool and Kupffer-cell agent, can be specifically phagocytosed by Kupffer cells in the liver, allowing lesion detection and characterization of focal liver lesions (FLLs) at the post-vascular phase apart from the vascular phase which is similar to that of other second-generation US contrast agents. Sonazoid CEUS is currently approved for use in some Asian countries. With the increasing use of Sonazoid CEUS for FLLs in clinical practice, developing consensus or guidelines to help standardize its use is required.
