    Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The main therapeutic options for MPM include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy (RT). Although multimodality therapy has been reported to improve survival, not every medically operable patient is able to undergo all recommended therapy. With improvements in surgical techniques and systemic therapies, as well as advancements in RT, there has been a potential new paradigm in the management of this disease. In this review, we discuss the current literature on MPM management and propose a functional treatment algorithm.

    Dobrava Hantavirus Infection Complicated by Panhypopituitarism, Istanbul, Turkey, 2010
    (CENTERS DISEASE CONTROL, 2012-01-01) Sariguzel, Nevin; Hofmann, Joerg; Canpolat, Alper Tunga; Turk, Ali; Ettinger, Jakob; Atmaca, Deniz; Akyar, Isin; Yucel, Serap; Arikan, Ender; Uyar, Yavuz; Caglayik, Dilek Y.; Kocagoz, Ayse Sesin; Kaya, Aysin; Kruger, Detlev H.
    We identified Dobrava-Belgrade virus infection in Turkey (from a strain related to hantavirus strains from nearby countries) in a patient who had severe symptoms leading to panhypopituitarism, but no known risk for hantavirus. Our findings emphasize the need for increased awareness of hantaviruses in the region and assessment of symptomatic persons without known risk factors for infection.
