Pembrolizumab-induced myelitis in stage 4 renal clear cell carcinoma: a case report

Abstract Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) protein, is widely used for renal cell carcinoma but rarely causes central nervous system adverse events such as myelitis. A 58-year-old woman with stage IV renal clear cell carcinoma developed radiating hip pain, paresthesia, hypoesthesia (T10 and below), constipation, urinary retention, and sudden [...] Read more.
Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) protein, is widely used for renal cell carcinoma but rarely causes central nervous system adverse events such as myelitis. A 58-year-old woman with stage IV renal clear cell carcinoma developed radiating hip pain, paresthesia, hypoesthesia (T10 and below), constipation, urinary retention, and sudden right-eye blurred vision one month after her sixth cycle of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib. Neurologic examination revealed asymmetrical inferior paraparesis, upper motor neuron signs, and right eye papilledema. MRI demonstrated patchy hyperintensity on C2-C6 and T2-T5, supportive of myelitis. Intravenous methylprednisolone was initiated, leading to pain relief and motor improvement. This is the first reported case of pembrolizumab-induced myelitis in Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and corticosteroid therapy for optimal recovery.

Charged Stellar Model with Generalized Chaplygin Equation of State Consistent with Observational Data

Abstract In this paper, we found a new model for a compact star with charged anisotropic matter distribution considering the generalized Chaplygin equation of state. The Einstein-Maxwell field equations have been solved with a particular form of metric potential and electric field intensity. The plots show that physical variables such as radial pressure, energy density, charge density, anisotropy, radial [...] Read more.
In this paper, we found a new model for a compact star with charged anisotropic matter distribution considering the generalized Chaplygin equation of state. The Einstein-Maxwell field equations have been solved with a particular form of metric potential and electric field intensity. The plots show that physical variables such as radial pressure, energy density, charge density, anisotropy, radial speed sound, and the mass are fully well defined and are regular in the star's interior. We obtained models consistent with stellar objects such as GJ 832, LHS 43, SAO 81292, GJ 380, GJ 412, and SAO 62377.

New Parameter for Characterization of Dispersed Systems

Abstract A new parameter was proposed, with the help of which a specific disperse system was characterized. In addition, a regularity was found showing the relationship between the structural characteristics of structural units (particle size distribution, standard deviation, intensity and average diameter). Various highly dispersed systems have been investigated, including polystyrene latex, Sucrose and [...] Read more.

Dissemination and Exploitation of Regional Meteo-Hydrological Datasets through Web-based Interactive Applications: The SOL System Case Study

Abstract The effects of climate change are already being felt in several parts of the World. Variability of changing rainfall intensity, drought and weather patterns contribute to determining the vulnerability of many human activities such as agriculture. In the next future, climate change considerations will depend on having appropriate strategies such as strengthen implementation agencies working in a [...] Read more.
The effects of climate change are already being felt in several parts of the World. Variability of changing rainfall intensity, drought and weather patterns contribute to determining the vulnerability of many human activities such as agriculture. In the next future, climate change considerations will depend on having appropriate strategies such as strengthen implementation agencies working in a coordinated manner and with a data-driven approach in order to ensure monitoring, reporting and data verification. In this context, national and regional meteorological Services are facing with high demand for timely and quality information, services and products. A web-based interactive application with the aim of disseminating meteo-hydrological information at regional scale is described in this paper. The web application is built on a relational database and client-side programming has been used for implementing the user interface and controlling the web page behavior. The combination of PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor, a general-purpose scripting language, especially suited to server-side web development) and JavaScript (high-level object-oriented scripting language, nowadays the dominant client-side scripting language of the Web) has been chosen for this reason, since such software is free to use for everyone. The SOL system, developed on behalf of Marche region, Italy, was chosen as a case study, due to its multi-source data framework and because of the processing and public dissemination of several ad-hoc data elaborations.
