Background: The use of local consolidative therapy (LCT) in patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving, with a preponderance of data supporting the benefits of such therapeutic approaches incorporating pulmonary resection for appropriately selected candidates. However, practices vary widely institutionally and regionally, and evidence-based guidelines are lacking.
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons assembled a panel of thoracic surgical oncologists to evaluate and synthesize the available evidence regarding the role of pulmonary resection as LCT.
Introduction: Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a highly prevalent inflammatory skin condition which is often resistant to conventional treatments. Molecular insights of CHE remain limited. Tape stripping combined with high-throughput RNA sequencing can now provide a better insight into CHE pathogenesis in a minimally invasive fashion.

- Signal transduction is key for communication and response in microbial communities, allowing them to adapt to environmental changes and establish structures for collective behaviors.
- Microbial communication occurs through methods like quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and chemotaxis, which help coordinate activities, enhance resource use, and improve resilience against stress.
- Understanding these signaling processes, especially in synthetic microbial consortia, has important implications for biotechnology, including biosensors, biodegradation, and waste management.
Background: Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Prior studies have found that delayed treatment carries risk of disease progression. However, factors that predict delay to surgery are relatively understudied.
