Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare tumors that often require extensive surgery, leading to a high risk of local recurrence and necessitating a tailored rehabilitation protocol post-surgery.
- The proposed rehabilitation program, influenced by clinical experiences and literature, outlines specific recovery timelines and exercises to prevent complications associated with immobility.
- After implementing this rehabilitation protocol, a study of 31 patients showed significant improvements in their daily functioning, pain levels, and walking speed, indicating the protocol's effectiveness in enhancing patient recovery.
Article Synopsis
- Amyloidosis derived from apolipoprotein C-II (AApoCII) is a rare condition that primarily affects the kidneys, presenting with symptoms like proteinuria and reduced kidney function, particularly in older patients.
- A study conducted with 25 cases from the Mayo Clinic revealed common histological characteristics, such as nodular amyloid deposits in glomeruli, and proteomic analysis identified specific Apo C-II variants in many patients.
- Despite significant kidney issues, including end-stage kidney disease in about half of the patients, the overall survival rate was more favorable, indicating potential for better outcomes in this condition.
Background: Prostate cancer ranks as the second most common cancer in men worldwide. Dose escalation to the tumor and/or the prostate improves biochemical recurrence-free survival. However, interobserver variability in lesion contouring poses a significant limitation to such therapeutic approaches.
