CLN2 and CLN3 diseases, the most common types of Batten disease (also known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis), are childhood dementias associated with progressive loss of speech, language and feeding skills. Here we delineate speech, language, non-verbal communication and feeding phenotypes in 33 individuals (19 females) with a median age of 9.5 years (range 3-28 years); 16 had CLN2 and 17 CLN3 disease; 8/15 (53%) participants with CLN2 and 8/17 (47%) participants with CLN3 disease had speech and language impairments prior to genetic diagnosis.

- TACE is the standard treatment for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of adding lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to TACE compared to a placebo.
- The multicenter, randomised, double-blind phase 3 study (LEAP-012) involved participants from 137 sites across 33 countries who were randomly assigned to receive either TACE with the new drugs or TACE with a placebo.
- The primary endpoints were progression-free survival and overall survival, and the results reported are from the first interim analysis, which serves as the final analysis for progression-free survival.
Background: Pediatric Surgical Critical Care (PSCC) is a unique specialty incorporating fundamental principles of surgical, neonatal, and pediatric critical care. This study aims to characterize the current landscape of PSCC training to identify opportunities for educational standardization and improvement.
Methods: An anonymous electronic survey-based assessment was distributed to the program directors (PDs) of all current ACGME-accredited PSCC fellowships (n = 14).
Background & Aims: Current prognostic models for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) are not extensively validated and widely accepted. We aimed to develop and validate a continuous model incorporating tumor burden and biology for individual survival prediction and risk stratification.
Methods: Overall, 4,377 treatment-naive candidates for whom TACE was recommended, from 39 centers in five countries, were enrolled and divided into training, internal validation, and two external validation datasets.
