Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of tumor characteristics on the feasibility of endoscopic management (EM) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) by creating a standardized assessment score known as the Upper TRACT Endometry Score.
- Utilizing expert opinions through a modified Delphi method, the score incorporates factors like tumor radius, architecture, count, and location, validating it with a retrospective database of patients undergoing EM for UTUC.
- Results indicate a significant correlation between the Upper TRACT Endometry Score and the intensity of procedures required for patients, suggesting its potential for improving patient counseling and standardizing the assessment in future cases.
Mobile Experience Sampling (MES) is a promising tool for understanding youth digital media use and its effects. Unfortunately, the method suffers from high levels of missing data. Depending on whether the data is randomly or non-randomly missing, it can have severe effects on the validity of findings.

- Sepsis is a severe condition with high rates of complications and readmissions, making the discharge setting crucial for patient outcomes.
- A study examined 30-day readmission rates for sepsis survivors, finding a significant association between discharge settings (like skilled nursing facilities and home health care) and readmission rates.
- The research highlights the need for careful consideration of discharge plans, as many patients are sent to unsuitable environments that increase their risk of hospital readmission.
Current treatment outcome of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. Following standard therapy, recurrence is universal with limited survival. Tumors from 173 GBM patients are analysed for somatic mutations to generate a personalized peptide vaccine targeting tumor-specific neoantigens.

Mammalian food sources contain α-Gal, but the amount differs. The objective of this study was to investigate the allergenic potency of various foods of mammalian origin among AGS patients.
