A melanoma brain metastasis CTC signature and CTC:B cell clusters associate with secondary liver metastasis: a melanoma brain-liver metastasis axis.

Melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) is linked to dismal prognosis, low overall survival, and is detected in up to 80% of patients at autopsy. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the smallest functional units of cancer and precursors of fatal metastasis. We previously employed an unbiased multilevel approach to discover a unique ribosomal protein large/small subunits (RPL/RPS) CTC gene signature associated with MBM.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 90% of elective anesthetics have been ambulatory: A retrospective analysis of statewide data in Florida from 2010 through 2022.

Background: When the vast majority (e.g., ≈90%) of a specialty's elective (scheduled) care is ambulatory (i.

Decision Regret in Patients with Appendiceal Cancer Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.

Background: Decision regret is an emerging patient reported outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of regret in patients with appendiceal cancer (AC) who underwent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC).

Patients And Methods: An anonymous survey was distributed to patients through the Appendix Cancer and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (ACPMP) Research Foundation.

Wheat MYOSIN-RESEMBLING CHLOROPLAST PROTEIN controls B-type starch granule initiation timing during endosperm development.

Molecular factors that contribute to the diverse spatial and temporal patterns of starch granule initiation between species and organs are poorly understood. Wheat (Triticum sp.) endosperm contains both large A-type granules initiated during early grain development and small B-type granules that initiate about 10 to 15 days later.
