Article Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the pooled prevalence of vaccination willingness, unwillingness, and hesitancy among patients with multiple sclerosis.

Methods: Databases including PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched. by two expert researchers, as well as references in the included studies, which were published before October 2021.

Results: Three hundred eighty articles were found in four data bases. One hundred eighty-two studies remained following deleting duplicates. Finally, ten studies remained for the meta-analysis. Totally, 5983 patients with MS were assessed. The pooled prevalence of willingness to vaccination among patients with MS was 76% (95% CI: 67-85%) (I = 98.4%, p < 0.001). Unwillingness pooled prevalence to vaccination among patients with MS was 2% (95% CI: 2-3%) (I = 97.9%, p < 0.001). Hesitancy pooled prevalence to vaccination among patients with MS was 0% (I = 98%, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: According to the findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis, more than two-thirds of patients with MS were willing to obtain COVID-19 vaccines.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

Description of a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS) who underwent immunotherapy with ocrelizumab and suffered a severe course of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE): A 33-year-old man presented with acute cerebellitis with tonsillar herniation. The initial suspected diagnosis of TBE was confirmed after a significant diagnostic delay, likely caused by negative serological testing due to B-cell depletion from ocrelizumab treatment for underlying MS. TBE diagnosis was made using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and oligo-hybrid capture metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of cerebral spinal fluid and brain biopsy samples which yielded a near-full length TBE Virus (TBEV) genome.

Purpose: Computed tomography fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided biopsy is an established technique for sampling pulmonary lesions, particularly with the growing prevalence of lung nodule screening programs. This study investigated procedural and lesion-related factors affecting success and complication rates in routine CTF-guided lung core-needle biopsies at a tertiary center.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous CTF-guided lung biopsies over a 10-year period (2007-2016) were retrospectively analyzed.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.
