Article Abstract
DRESS/DiHS is a complex and potentially fatal drug reaction. Little is known about risk factors and elements that can help to identify patients with a severe reaction early. The aim of the study was to investigate those factors favoring the disease and its severity by analyzing the clinical conditions and therapies preceding the reaction. We conducted a retrospective analysis on patients admitted to our center between 2010 and 2020 who were discharged with a diagnosis of DRESS. We used the RegiSCAR diagnostic criteria. We defined the severity of DRESS using the criteria of Mizukawa et al. We included 25 patients (15 females) with a median age of 66 years. Skin involvement, eosinophilia, and liver injury were the most important aspects. Allopurinol was found to be the most involved drug. Reaction severity was significantly associated with the number of daily medications (p=0.0067) and an age of at least 68 years (p=0.013). In addition, 75% of severe cases had at least three comorbidities in history, and most of the severe cases were female. In our study the advanced age, the high number of comorbidities and home therapies, and the inflammatory state were found to be predisposing elements to the development of the disease and its severity.

Background: Addictive disorders remain a global problem, affecting health, society and the economy. The etiopathogenesis of addictions, which have a multifactorial nature, is poorly understood, making it difficult to develop personalized treatment approaches. Of particular interest is the gene, which regulates serotonergic transmission.

Despite the generally favorable prognosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) following surgery and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, approximately 10% of cases eventually develop resistance to RAI. This condition, known as radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC), is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 10-year survival rate of only 10% from the time of metastasis detection. The limited availability of safe and effective alternative treatments poses a significant challenge to clinical management.

Debilitated calves are often presented with an umbilical remnant infection, septic arthritis, or both. These comorbidities, frequently caused by similar bacteria, must be addressed surgically. In cases of omphalophlebitis where the infection reaches the liver, the clinician generally has 1 option: marsupialization of the vein.

Introduction: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumor-like lesions in multiple organs. While central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cysts are commonly associated with VHL disease, there have been few reported cases of pancreatic hemangioblastoma in patients with VHL disease.
Case Presentation: A male patient in his 30s had been diagnosed with VHL disease and had been followed for cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinoma, for which he had undergone several tumor resections, radiation therapy, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
