Introduction: Foot bimalleolar angle (FBM angle) and Pirani score are recognized as assessment and prognostic tools for objective assessment of clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus, or CTEV) treatment. The present study proposed to study various factors that determine the improvement in FBM angle and Pirani score in patients treated by the Ponseti technique.
Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted after obtaining ethical clearance, and 42 children with CTEV (60 feet) were enrolled.
Introduction: Patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) have an unmet medical need. The objective of this trial was to assess the efficacy and toxicities of a novel triple immunotherapy regimen-pembrolizumab, low-dose cyclophosphamide, and maveropepimut-S (MVP-S). This regimen was designed to activate tumor-specific T cells by targeting the tumor-associated antigen survivin with MVP-S and reducing two important T cell inhibitory pathways: T cell exhaustion and regulatory T cells with pembrolizumab and metronomic cyclophosphamide, respectively.

Therefore, we aim to perform a systematic literature review on lipidomic analysis in serum/plasma and plaque samples of patients with carotid atherosclerosis.
Methods: We performed a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines on the lipidomic profile in serum/plasma and carotid artery plaques from patients with significant carotid disease by degree of stenosis in preoperative imaging and clinical presentation (symptomatic, asymptomatic, radiation-induced carotid disease).
