The aim of the present research was to evaluate the prognostic value of the Kiel classification of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. For this purpose a series of 100 consecutive, previously untreated adults with advanced malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas was analyzed. The median age of the patients was 54 years; 61 patients were males. Although the number of the various groups considered was limited, a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) was found in the median survival of patients with lymphomas of low-grade malignancy (lymphocytic, lymphoplasmacytoid, centrocytic, centroblastic-centrocytic lymphoma) and lymphomas of high-grade malignancy (centroblastic, lymphoblastic, immunoblastic lymphoma). A difference in survival (p < 0.001) was also observed among the patients with lymphocytic lymphoma and those with centroblastic-centrocytic lymphoma, whereas no significant difference in survival was found between the histological subtypes of high-grade malignant lymphomas. Our observations support the opinion that the Kiel classification is useful in clinical practice to distinguish the histological types with a better prognosis from those with a worse one; in addition this classification appears to be of conceptual value.

AbstractThe Oxford classification of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) can evaluate each MEST-C score individually. We analysed a new grading system that utilised the total MEST-C score in predicting renal prognosis. Altogether, 871 IgAN patients were classified into three groups using the new Oxford classification system (O-grade) that utilised the total MEST-C score (O-grade I: 0–1, II: 2–4, and III: 5–7 points), and the 10-year renal prognosis was analysed. The clinical findings became significantly severer with increasing O-grades, and the renal survival rate by the Kaplan–Meier method was 94.1%, 86.9%, and 74.1% for O-grades I, II, and III, respectively. The hazard ratios (HRs) for O-grades II and III with reference to O-grade I were 2.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3–6.0) and 6.3 (95% CI 2.7–14.5), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, mean arterial pressure and eGFR, proteinuria at the time of biopsy, treatment of corticosteroids/immunosuppressors, and O-grade (HR 1.63; 95% CI 1.11–2.38) were the independent factors predicting renal prognosis. Among the nine groups classified using the O-grade and Japanese clinical-grade, the renal prognosis had an HR of 15.2 (95% CI 3.5–67) in the severest group. The O-grade classified by the total score of the Oxford classification was associated with renal prognosis.

Eligibility Assessment

The new McDonald diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) incorporate detailed criteria for the interpretation and classification of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, but, in contrast, provide no instructions for the interpretation of clinical findings. Because MS according to the McDonald criteria is one of the primary endpoints in a large trial enrolling patients after the first manifestation suggestive for a demyelinating disease (BENEFIT study), it was decided to organize a centralized eligibility assessment for this trial. During this eligibility assessment it was observed that there were marked inconsistencies in the decisions of participating neurologists with respect to the classification of clinical symptoms as being caused by one or more lesions provoking discussions in about one in every five patients. This paper describes these inconsistencies and their sources, and recommends a systematic approach that attempts to reduce the variability in interpreting clinical findings.

Diagnosis And Classification

Behçet’s Disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem vasculitis with unknown etiology, which is characterized by the triad of recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and iritis. The eye is one of the most commonly affected organs and typical ocular involvement is panuveitis with hypopyon and retinal vasculitis. The diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation including biomicroscopic and funduscopic examination. This article aims to review the clinical findings, diagnosis, and classification of BD.
