Letetresgene Autoleucel in Advanced/Metastatic Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma.

Purpose: The cancer/testis antigen New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1) is a promising target in myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS).

Methods: In this pilot study, we assessed the adoptive T-cell therapy NY-ESO-1cT letetresgene autoleucel (lete-cel) in patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02:01-, HLA-A*02:05-, and/or HLA-A*02:06-positive advanced/metastatic NY-ESO-1-expressing MRCLS. Patients underwent a reduced-dose (cohort 1) or standard-dose (cohort 2) lymphodepletion regimen (LDR).

Renal artery angioplasty in Takayasu disease: Difficult anatomy addressed with a novel technique.

Takayasu arteritis is a well-established medical entity involving inflammatory changes in large arteries. We describe a characteristic case of Takayasu arteritis, in a young woman with significant renal artery stenosis, presenting with hypertensive urgency. Unsuccessful guide wire passage due to fibrotic septae in lumen of the left renal artery necessitated an innovative interventional approach, using an IMA-guide catheter and a UB3 coronary guidewire to cross the lesions, followed by placement of a coronary drug eluting stent, with an aim to avoid restenosis.

The Systematic Development of a Mobile Phone Delivered Text-messaging Tobacco Cessation Intervention in India.

Introduction: Tobacco consumption is a leading cause of mortality globally. Eighty percent of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite this, there is a large treatment gap due to both demand and supply-side barriers.

Recombinant human FOXJ1 protein binds DNA, forms higher-order oligomers, has gel-shifting domains and contains intrinsically disordered regions.

Forkhead box protein J1 (FOXJ1) is the key transcriptional regulator during the conversion of mammalian primary cilium with a 9 + 0 architecture to the motile (9 + 2) one. The nucleotide sequences of the full-length and DNA-binding domain (DBD) of the open reading frame (ORF) were isolated and expressed into E. coli as 6xHis-tagged proteins.

Effect of Newer Intraorifice Barriers on the Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth: An In Vitro Study.

Aim: This study aimed to assess and compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth using three new intraorifice barrier materials.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 extracted human mandibular premolars having single roots were decoronated to 14 mm length, prepared up to rotary F3 ProTaper Gold files, and sealed with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. Specimens were divided into one control and three experimental groups ( = 15): Group 1, control; Group 2, Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fosses, France); Group 3, resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC, GC Gold Label 2 LC, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan); and Group 4, flowable nanohybrid composite (G-aenial Universal Flo, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

Different types of greenspace within urban parks and depressive symptoms among older U.S. adults living in urban areas.

Access to greenspace in the form of urban parks is frequently used to study the mental health benefits of nature and may alleviate depression. However, there is a lack of research that considers the different types of vegetated and non-vegetated spaces that parks can provide. Our aim was to investigate whether different types of accessible park area, grassy; tree covered; and non-vegetated, were associated with depressive symptoms among older (≥50 years) urban US adults.

The impact of digital inequities on salivary gland cancer disparities in the United States.

Introduction: Technology and internet access have become increasingly integrated into healthcare as the primary platform for health-related information and provider-patient communication. Disparities in access to digital resources exist in the United States and have been shown to impact health outcomes in various head and neck malignancies. Our objective is to evaluate the associations of digital inequity on health outcomes in patients with salivary gland cancer (SGC).

Stroke Rehabilitation Clinical Practice Guidelines in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review of Quality and Unique Features.

Introduction: Efforts toward reducing stroke burden have been an immense challenge. One important reasons could be the scope and quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) developed for stroke rehabilitation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), restricting its translation to clinical practice. This systematic review aimed to assess the availability, scope and quality of CPGs for stroke rehabilitation in LMICs.

Replication fork barriers to study site-specific DNA replication perturbation.

DNA replication ensures the complete and accurate duplication of the genome. The traditional approach to analysing perturbation of DNA replication is to use chemical inhibitors, such as hydroxyurea or aphidicolin, that slow or stall replication fork progression throughout the genome. An alternative approach is to perturb replication at a single site in the genome that permits a more forensic investigation of the cellular response to the stalling or disruption of a replication fork.

Perspectives of smokers, smokeless tobacco users and cessation practitioners in India: A qualitative study.

Introduction: India is the second largest consumer of tobacco in the world and accounts for 70% of global deaths due to smokeless tobacco (SLT) use.

Aim: The aim of this study is to understand the perspectives of tobacco users (smokers and SLT users) and practitioners in India to inform cessation interventions.

Method: Semi-structured in-depth interviews with tobacco users (smoked and smokeless; n=23), and healthcare practitioners (n=13).

Source-Specific Air Pollution and Loss of Independence in Older Adults Across the US.

Importance: Air pollution is a recognized risk factor associated with chronic diseases, including respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, which can lead to physical and cognitive impairments in later life. Although these losses of function, individually or in combination, reduce individuals' likelihood of living independently, little is known about the association of air pollution with this critical outcome.

Objective: To investigate associations between air pollution and loss of independence in later life.

Which battering interventions work? An updated Meta-analytic review of intimate partner violence treatment outcome research.

This meta-analytic review is an update to the first meta-analysis of battering interventions (Babcock et al., 2004) and includes 59 studies that evaluated treatment efficacy for domestically violent men and women. The outcome literature of controlled quasi-experimental and experimental studies was reviewed to test the relative impact of Duluth, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and novel types of treatment on subsequent recidivism of violence.

Family Accommodation in Children and Adolescents With Misophonia.

Family accommodation (e.g., reassurance, modifying routines, assisting avoidance) has not been explored among youth with misophonia but may have important clinical and intervention implications.

Assessing social vulnerabilities of salivary gland cancer care, prognosis, and treatment in the United States.

Background: Salivary gland cancers (SGC)-social determinants of health (SDoH) investigations are limited by narrow scopes of SGC-types and SDoH. This Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)-study hypothesized that socioeconomic status (SES) most contributed to SDoH-associated SGC-disparities.

Methods: Retrospective cohort of 24 775 SGCs assessed SES, minority-language status (ML), household composition (HH), housing-transportation (HT), and composite-SDoH measured by the SVI via regressions with surveillance and survival length, late-staging presentation, and treatment (surgery, radio-, chemotherapy) receipt.
