Urachal cancer (UrC) is a rare disease which is mostly diagnosed late due to symptoms caused by its local invasion to the urinary bladder. Given the lack of clinical trials and guideline recommendations for systemic treatment, a molecularly informed precision oncology approach is a viable option for UrC already in the early lines of systemic treatment. While single case experiences may provide valuable reference for later decision-making, well-documented clinical experience with off-label targeted treatments is limited to a few patients.

This pilot study compared THV expansion measured using large-field-of-view intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) vs. multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and assessed the correlation between THV dimensions and transvalvular gradients.

Methods: In total, 150 institutionalised older adults were recruited for the study. Eighty-one participants completed the retesting.
Article Synopsis
- Missions into Deep Space this decade are concerning due to potential health risks from microgravity and galactic cosmic radiation, especially for kidneys.
- Researchers used various biological and clinical analyses on samples from spaceflight-exposed mice, humans, and simulated environments.
- Key findings reveal that spaceflight causes kidney-related issues like increased risk of kidney stones, changes in nephron structure, and damage from radiation exposure.
