POLATUZUMAB-VEDOTIN+BENDAMUSTIN+RITUXIMAB AS SALVAGE AND BRIDGING THERAPY IN RELAPSED/REFRACTORY DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA
Although diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a paradigm of highly curative disease with a complete remission (CR) rate of ≈ 60%–70% in an upfront setting, the remaining 30%–40% of patients present a relapse/refractory setting. These population are highly critical and amended for salvage treatment approach. Novel appro...

ASSESSMENT OF TREATMENT OUTCOMES IN MULTIPLE MYELOMA ACCORDING TO PROGNOSTIC FACTORS AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Multiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of abnormal plasma cells. Global five-year survival rates range from 60% to 70%, largely due to novel therapeutic strategies. In our country, conventional therapies remain standard, with monoclonal antibodies recently introduced for relapsed/refractory cases....

CONCURRENT ISCHEMIC STROKES FROM OCCLUSION OF CAROTID AND VERTEBRAL ARTERIES FOLLOWING A WASP STING IN THE TONGUE
There are no specific risk factors for stroke after bee or wasp stings; however, several researchers have cited multiple stings in the head and neck region as a significant factor in the occurrence of these serious complications. We present a case of a previously healthy man with multiple acute cerebral infarctions in the subcortical and borderline...

AN INNOVATIVE REGRESSION-BASED METHOD FOR COVID-19 DETECTION: ENHANCING DIAGNOSTIC PRECISION THROUGH CONTINUOUS PREDICTION
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical importance of accurate and reliable methods for the early detection and management of cases. Traditional approaches to COVID-19 diagnosis often rely on binary classification methods, which may limit their accuracy and robustness. In this study, we propose a novel approach that leve...

ANTHROPOLOGICAL CRITERIA IN CREATING A SMILE DURING THE FABRICATION OF COMPLETE DENTURES
When making complete dentures, both functional and aesthetic criteria need to be met so that the patient can accept the prosthetic restoration more easily and be satisfied with it. The aim of the research was to determine smile parameters as anthropological criteria for the selection of teeth when making complete dentures. The study included 91 den...
