Background: Factors to accurately stratify patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in different prognostic groups are still needed. This study aims to investigate 1) the prognostic potential of circulating cell-free (CF) and extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived microRNA (miRNAs), and 2) their added value with respect to known prognostic factors (PFs).

Methods: The RESTING study is a multicentre prospective observational cohort study on resected stage IA-IIIA patients with NSCLC.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chronic thoracic pain can be difficult to diagnose and treat, especially when it stems from uncommon issues like osteo-muscular conflicts, as seen in a unique case involving a male patient with right tenth rib pain.
  • - The patient, who had suffered from this pain for ten years without relief from conservative treatments, underwent a CT scan that revealed a conflict between the rib and his internal oblique muscle, leading to a surgical solution.
  • - This case highlights the value of advanced diagnostic methods and targeted surgical procedures in resolving complex pain conditions, suggesting that personalized treatment approaches can significantly improve patient outcomes.

  • There is a lack of standardized methodology for writing and reporting radiological case reports, despite their increasing numbers.
  • A multidisciplinary team of 40 experts developed the CARE-radiology reporting guideline, influenced by the CARE statement and quality enhancement methodologies.
  • After a thorough review and a Delphi survey, the final checklist consists of 38 items across 16 domains, aimed at improving the quality and completeness of radiological case reports.

Amphibians are particularly sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by the intensification and modernization of farming occurring in the second half of the twentieth century in the Mediterranean basin. However, artificial water bodies, associated with traditional husbandry, proved to be important surrogate for amphibian feeding and reproduction. Here, multilocus genotypes were used to investigate the spatial population structure of Lissotriton vulgaris meridionalis and the role of drinking troughs in supporting viable breeding populations within a rural landscape interested by traditional husbandry and agriculture.

Article Synopsis
  • The SUPER guideline was developed to improve the quality of surgical technique reporting, addressing gaps in existing guidelines to ensure comprehensive documentation across various surgical disciplines and innovations.
  • Created through a collaborative process involving surgeons, editors, and experts from different countries, the guideline includes 22 essential items organized into six sections, covering everything from background and rationale to preoperative preparations and postoperative considerations.
  • The implementation of SUPER aims to enhance transparency in surgical reporting, aiding not just surgeons but also journal editors, reviewers, and practitioners who need clear and reproducible surgical techniques.
