Non-Hodgkin lymphomas make up a group of malignant neoplasms of lymphoid origin, according to their corresponding cell line, as B or T cell lymphomas classified. Mostly, these entities come from B lymphocytes, being the most frequent diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In the oral cavity, non-Hodgkin lymphomas have low incidence and their prognosis, clinical evolution and response to treatments, depend on the subtype presented. These malignancies can develop in soft tissues of the oral cavity or centrally in the jaws. We report an 80-year-old patient with an injury corresponding to large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the oral cavity, who has been treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, responding favorably to treatment. Likewise, in order to describe this infrequent type of lesions of the oral cavity and to assess the prognosis they have, a literature review was performed. It is ...

Background The pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been used in a wide range of critically ill patients. It is not indicated for routine care of heart failure (HF), but its role in cardiogenic shock (CS) has not been clarified. Methods and Results We conducted a retrospective cohort study with the use of the National Inpatient Sample and identified a total of 9,431,944 adult patients admitted from 2004 to 2014 with the primary diagnosis of HF (n = 8,516,528) or who developed CS (n = 915,416) during the index hospitalization. Overall, patients with PAC had increased hospital costs, length of stay, and mechanical circulatory support use. In patients with HF, PAC use was associated with higher mortality (9.9% vs 3.3%, OR 3.96; P < .001) but the excess of mortality declined over time. In those with CS, PAC was associated with lower mortality (35.1% vs 39.2%, OR 0.91; P < .001) and in...
