Background: Early diagnosis of breast cancer is essential for effective treatment and improved survival rates. A longer gap between the appearance of symptoms and the initiation of therapy results in advanced disease and lower survival.Objectives: to assess factors associated with diagnosis delay among Sudanese women with breast cancer.

Objectives: The study sought to evaluate outcomes and the impact of PASCAL mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair device iterations.
Methods: The REPAIR (REgistry of PAscal for mltral Regurgitation) study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter registry including consecutive patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) treated from 2019 to 2024.
In previous work we discovered that T lymphocytes play a prominent role in the rise of brain metastases of ER-negative breast cancers. In the present study we explored how T lymphocytes promote breast cancer cell penetration through the blood brain barrier (BBB). An in vitro BBB model was employed to study the effects of T lymphocytes on BBB trespassing capacity of three different breast carcinoma cell lines.

- Granulomatous disease can occur in up to 20% of patients with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), with granulomas forming in response to unknown antigenic triggers.
- This study aimed to compare the cellular organization and protein expression of CVID granulomas with those in other granulomatous diseases like sarcoidosis and tuberculosis.
- Findings showed that CVID granulomas are smaller and have distinct cellular characteristics, including a higher presence of certain immune cells, indicating a different underlying cause for their formation compared to other granulomatous diseases.
