乳腺癌随访和药物副作用管理策略的研究进展

乳腺癌是全球女性发病率最高的恶性肿瘤,随着诊断技术及治疗手段的不断提高,乳腺癌患者接受系统治疗后生存期明显延长。乳腺癌患者需要长时间的随访以便及早监测到局部复发和远处转移。此外,激素敏感性乳腺癌患者还需要给予5~10年的内分泌治疗,针对其副作用的全程管理也需要随访,进而提高患者的生活质量,减轻患者疾病负担。本文就近年来乳腺癌随访相关方面进行简要综述。

Association between dysglycemia and the Charlson Comorbidity Index among hospitalized patients with diabetes

AimInpatient dysglycemia has been linked to short-term mortality, but longer-term mortality data are lacking. Our aim was to evaluate the association between inpatient dysglycemia and one-year mortality risk.MethodsRetrospective chart review of adults with diabetes hospitalized between 2015 and 2019. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was used to estimate 1-year mortality risk, stratified into low (CCI ≤ 5) and high risk (CCI ≥6). Simple and multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between dysglycemic measures and high mortality risk.ResultsAmong 22,639 unique admissions, BG ≥ 180, ≥300, ≤70, <54 and <40 mg/dL were associated with adjusted odds of 1.43 (95 % CI, 1.33, 1.54), 1.58 (95 % CI, 1.48, 1.68), 2.16 (95 % CI, 2.01, 2.32), 2.58 (95 % CI, 2.32, 2.86), and 2.56 (95 % CI, 2.19, 2.99) for high mortality risk, respectively. Older age and Black race were positively associated with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure (CHF), and moderate to severe liver disease were most strongly associated with hyperglycemia, while renal disease, CHF, peripheral vascular disease, and peptic ulcer disease were most strongly associated with hypoglycemia.ConclusionsInpatient hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia were both positively associated with higher one-year mortality risk, with stronger magnitude of association observed for hypoglycemia. The association appears to be mediated mainly by presence of diabetes-related complications.     

Necrotising myositis – learnings for a plastic surgeon

BackgroundNecrotising myositis (NM) is a life-threatening emergency. Prompt treatment is associated with more favourable outcomes, but early diagnosis is challenging. The initial absence of cutaneous signs and symptoms coupled with delayed recognition commonly result in higher rates of morbidity and mortality.ObjectivesAnalyse data regarding demographics, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of previously reported cases. This publication is intended for plastic surgeons in training to help them look out for this disease.Search methods/criteriaPublications reporting necrotising myositis between 1974 to January 2020 were identified from Embase, Medline All, Web of Science Core Collection, Google Scholar and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial.Data collection and analysis: Identified studies were exported to an end note library. In animal studies, studies relating to statin-induced myotoxicity and auto-immune myositis were excluded. The quality of included case reports was assessed using JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports.Main resultsThe most common initial presentation was a few days of antecedent prodromal flu-like symptoms associated with muscle pain. The mean age was 43.3 years and 82% had no significant medical history. The most frequent misdiagnoses were muscle strain (11%), deep vein thrombosis (10%) and viral illness (9%). Seventy-four per cent of presentations were due to Group A Streptococcus infections and only 3.5% of cases were polymicrobial. The most common clinical course following the initial presentation was rapid deterioration into profound sepsis and progression into multi-organ failure. The overall mortality rate was 36.5%.ConclusionsNM is a life-threatening muscle infection. It is a diagnostic conundrum as initial presentation is often only myalgia without features of preceding trauma. We propose that a high index of suspicion and increased awareness will reduce morbidity.OtherPROSPERO (registration number CRD42018087060). Nil funding/conflict of interest.     

Role of arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction on lower limb performance in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional study

AimTo verify whether arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction influence lower limb muscle strength and gait speed in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsCross-sectional study including seventy-eight older adults with T2DM (aged 67 ± 6 years and 42 % male). Arterial stiffness was assessed using pulse wave velocity (PWV), while endothelial function was measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD). Lower limb muscle strength and gait speed were assessed using the 30-second chair stand test (30s-CST) and 10-Meter Walk Test, respectively.ResultsBoth PWV (m/s) and FMD (%) were univariately associated with number of repetitions in 30s-CST and gait speed (P < 0.05). After control for age, sex and body mass index, PWV remained associated with repetitions in 30s-CST (95 % CI: ?0.494 to ?0.054; P = 0.015) and gait speed (95 % CI: ?0.039 to ?0.002; P = 0.031). After adjustments for control variables, T2DM duration and glycemic control, FMD was associated with repetitions in 30s-CST (95 % CI: 0.008 to 0.324; P = 0.039) and gait speed (95 % CI: 0.011 to 0.038; P = 0.001).ConclusionIn older adults with T2DM, both arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are associated with decreased leg muscle strength and slower gait speed.
