Article Synopsis
- The CONFIRM trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of annual fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) versus colonoscopies in reducing colorectal cancer mortality, enrolling over 50,000 veterans between May 2012 and December 2017.
- The study analyzed participant demographics and examined reasons for those who chose not to participate, highlighting a mix of preferences for either colonoscopy or stool tests based on geographic and temporal factors.
- Among the 50,126 participants recruited, there was a diverse representation, and the study also noted that 11,109 eligible individuals opted out of participation for various reasons, with insights gathered via case report forms.
Outcomes of pediatric patients with therapy-related myeloid neoplasms.
Bone Marrow Transplant
December 2021
Long-term outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMNs) are dismal. There are few multicenter studies defining prognostic factors in pediatric patients with tMNs. We have accumulated the largest cohort of pediatric patients who have undergone HCT for a tMN to perform a multivariate analysis defining factors predictive of long-term survival.

Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies exceeding 10(12) electron volts and are bright sources of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission, it is not yet known where the VHE emission originates. Here we report on radio and VHE observations of the radio galaxy Messier 87, revealing a period of extremely strong VHE gamma-ray flares accompanied by a strong increase of the radio flux from its nucleus.
