Compartmentation of the immune response into 3 main spatial cancer-immune phenotypes (SCIs) - inflamed, excluded, and desert - has been proposed as the main predictor of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumors. The objective of the study was to define and characterize the SCI in a consecutive series of 213 endometrial carcinomas (ECs) by correlating it with molecular subtypes, clinicopathologic features, and prognosis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and next-generation sequencing were used to assign surrogate molecular EC subtypes: POLE mutant (POLE), mismatch repair deficient (MMRd), TP53 mutant (p53abn), and no specific molecular profile (NSMP).

Potential prognostic indicators have been associated with decreased survival during canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE), such as body weight, sex, and clinicopathological parameters. Few studies reported the prognostic factors for CPE in Italy; therefore, the aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors associated with the survival of dogs admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Perugia University, naturally infected with canine parvovirus. Seventy-six medical records of dogs with a definitive diagnosis of parvoviral infection admitted from 2017 to 2021 have been reviewed and included in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/mTOR signaling pathways along with gut microbiota in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), highlighting their significance in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and sporadic cases.
  • Both pathways showed hyperactivation in FAP lesions compared to classic CRC, with specific microbiota compositions linked to these signaling alterations.
  • Overall, the research identifies new biomarkers and therapeutic targets that could enhance prevention and early detection of CRC and adenomas.

Background: Because of wars, conflicts, persecutions, human rights violations, and humanitarian crises, about 84 million people are forcibly displaced around the world; the great majority of them live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). People living in humanitarian settings are affected by a constellation of stressors that threaten their mental health. Psychosocial interventions for people affected by humanitarian crises may be helpful to promote positive aspects of mental health, such as mental well-being, psychosocial functioning, coping, and quality of life.

Mental health conditions, recognised as a global crisis, were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to mental health services remains limited, particularly in low-income regions. Task-sharing interventions, exemplified by Problem Management Plus (PM+), have emerged as potential solutions to bridge this treatment gap.
