Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how exercise affects tumors in mice with a type of aggressive cancer found in kids called neuroblastoma.
- They put 14 male mice into two groups: one group exercised a lot for 5 weeks, and the other group did nothing.
- The results showed that exercise changed many proteins in the tumors, helping us understand how working out might fight cancer better, especially by affecting energy use and how the body controls tumor growth.
Background: Despite their frequency and potential impact on prognosis, cancers diagnosed via self-referral to the emergency department are poorly documented. We conducted a detailed analysis of cancer patients diagnosed following emergency self-referral and compared them with those diagnosed following emergency referral from primary care. Given the challenges associated with measuring intervals in the emergency self-referral pathway, we also aimed to provide a definition of the diagnostic interval for these cancers.

Patients And Methods: Age- and sex-matched case-control study of octogenarians with and without recent hip fracture. Vascular risk factors, subclinical vascular diseases (assessed by carotid plaques, carotid intima media thickness and arterial stiffness) as well as cardiovascular diseases were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the route of diagnosis (emergency vs. nonemergency) and the type of symptoms influence the time it takes to diagnose various cancers and their outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 6,700 cancer patients diagnosed at a hospital in Barcelona between 2013 and 2023, focusing on both emergency presentation routes and primary care referrals.
- Results show that patients with specific alarm symptoms had quicker diagnosis times compared to those with nonlocalizing symptoms, with emergency routes generally leading to faster diagnosis than nonemergency referrals.
