Article Synopsis
  • High-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has high rates of recurrence and progression, and there's a need to better understand the tumor microenvironment (TME) for identifying treatment outcome biomarkers.
  • Researchers analyzed TME components and PD-L1 expression in 73 NMIBC patients, finding significant changes in tissue compared to non-tumoral samples, including increased cancer-associated fibroblasts and altered immune cell distributions.
  • The study identified myofibroblasts (myoCAFs) and M2-like macrophages as particularly significant in high-grade NMIBC, with myoCAFs correlating to higher rates of cancer progression and recurrence, providing insights for future prognostic markers.

Intermediate CAG expansions in the gene ataxin-2 () are a known risk factor for ALS, but little is known about their role in FTD risk. Moreover, their contribution to the risk and phenotype of patients might vary in populations with different genetic backgrounds. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of intermediate CAG expansions in with the risk and phenotype of ALS and FTD in the Spanish population.

Aim: We examined the correlation between how long it took the parents of very low birthweight infants, born weighing up to 1500 g, to provide different kinds of autonomous care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Methods: This prospective observational was conducted in the NICU of a Spanish hospital from 10 January 2020 to 3 May 2022. The unit had 11 beds single-family rooms and provided eight beds in an open bay room.

The main aim is to compare oncological outcomes and patterns of recurrence of patients with early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer according to lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) status. The secondary objective is to determine preoperative predictors of LVSI. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed data from 2,624 older adults to examine the link between cumulative smoking exposure and cognitive decline, using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-37) over three years.
  • Results indicated that cognitive decline increased with higher smoking exposure, where those with low pack-years declined by 1.05 points and those in high tertiles declined by about 1.17 points compared to non-smokers.
  • The findings suggest that cumulative smoking negatively impacts cognition in older adults, highlighting the need for more research to understand this association further, especially among those without dementia.*
