Article Synopsis
- - The study developed a nomogram to predict the likelihood of pelvic lymph node metastases (ypN+) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nonmetastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, finding that ypN+ is linked to worse overall survival.
- - Data from 6,194 patients were analyzed, revealing that 22.8% of high-risk patients had ypN+, compared to only 8.0% in the low-risk group, with high-risk patients experiencing significantly shorter survival (36.1 vs. 74.0 months).
- - Key factors contributing to the nomogram included age, time from diagnosis to treatment, and the tumor’s histology and stage, making it a valuable tool for assessing risk
Background & Aims: Sustainable diets are characterized by being culturally acceptable, economically fair, affordable and accessible to all, nutritionally sufficient, safe and healthy, and are efficient in their utilization of human and other natural resources. The aim of the present study was to determine the difference in the cost and affordability of providing nutritious and sustainable food baskets in different zones of Iran 2016 through 2019.
Material & Methods: In this repeated cross-sectional study, the expenditure and income data of 128,716 Iranian households that participated in the "Household Income and Expenditure Survey" 2016 through 2019 were used.
Article Synopsis
- Enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab (P) are standard treatments for advanced urothelial carcinoma, and this study investigates the safety of combining EV with radiation therapy (RT).
- The study involved nine patients who received EV and RT simultaneously, focusing on the side effects of radiation and symptom relief.
- Results showed that adverse effects were mostly mild, with significant symptom relief achieved; further research is suggested for broader conclusions.
Article Synopsis
- - A 13-year-old boy presenting with abdominal pain and coffee-ground vomiting was diagnosed with gastric necrosis after showing signs of peritonitis and septic shock, leading to an emergency laparotomy.
- - The surgery revealed gastric necrosis and ischemic changes in the esophagus and duodenum, resulting in a total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy.
- - Post-surgery, the boy tested positive for coronavirus after initially testing negative, and although he was discharged in good condition, he subsequently developed severe anastomotic strictures during follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The study identified factors that delay the start of salvage radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients post-prostatectomy, specifically focusing on PSA levels.
- It analyzed data from 81 patients treated between 2011 and 2022, noting that insurance type significantly influenced the timing of treatment initiation, with HMO and PPO patients more likely to experience delays.
- The findings highlight the importance of PSA monitoring and access to timely care, especially for patients with certain insurance plans, suggesting that healthcare policies may impact treatment outcomes.
