The risk of local recurrence along the core-needle biopsy tract in patients with bone sarcomas
Said Saghieh,Karim Z. Masrouha,Khaled M. Musallam,Rami Mahfouz,Miguel R. Abboud,Nabil J. Khoury,Rachid Haidar +6 more
TL;DR: The study and review of the literature suggest that the incidence of tumor seeding the CNB tract in bone sarcoma patients is apparently low, and possibly negligible.

Challenges Associated With Prolonged Survival of Patients With Thalassemia: Transitioning From Childhood to Adulthood
TL;DR: Although recent advances in the treatment of thalassemia can prolong patient life spans, problems may arise when patients are transferred from pediatric health care settings to adult health care sets, and recommendations for handling them are discussed.

Longitudinal changes in serum ferritin levels correlate with measures of hepatic stiffness in transfusion-independent patients with β-thalassemia intermedia
Khaled M. Musallam,Irene Motta,Marta Salvatori,Mirella Fraquelli,Alessia Marcon,Ali T. Taher,Maria Domenica Cappellini +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed data from a cohort of 42 β-thalassemia intermedia adults followed for four years (median age 38years), and evaluated the association between longitudinal changes in serum ferritin levels and transient elastography values.

Ratio Between Positive Lymph Nodes and Total Excised Axillary Lymph Nodes as an Independent Prognostic Factor for Overall Survival in Patients with Nonmetastatic Lymph Node-Positive Breast Cancer
Hassan A. Hatoum,Faek R. Jamali,Nagi S. El-Saghir,Khaled M. Musallam,Muhieddine Seoud,Hani Dimassi,Jaber Abbas,Mohamad Khalife,Fouad Boulos,Ayman Tawil,F. Geara,Ziad Salem,Achraf A. Shamseddine,Karine Al-Feghali,Ali Shamseddine +14 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that ALNR is a stronger factor in predicting OS than the absolute number of positive axillary lymph nodes, which is a significant predictors of OS.

Thalassemia and venous thromboembolism.
TL;DR: In this review, the molecular and cellular mechanisms leading to hypercoagulability in thalassemia are highlighted, with a special focus on th alassemia intermedia being the group with the highest incidence of thrombotic events as compared to other types of thalasemia.
