Introduction: The impact of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in tumor-associated cells, such as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells and endothelial cells, on patient outcomes in clinical specimens have not been examined. For the first time, we characterized the expression and spatial locations of ER stress markers, BiP and CHOP, in tumor-associated cells and assessed their prognostic significance in a panel of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patient samples.
Methods: Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed on tumor microarrays and images were analyzed using HALO AI software.

Article Synopsis
- SER4a ankle fractures involve intricate treatment challenges due to complications with the medial clear space, focusing on quantifying joint parameters through weightbearing CT scans.
- Ten patients with isolated Weber B fibula fractures were studied, revealing consistent abnormal measurements in the medial clear space and differences in rotation and translation of the injured ankle.
- While joint contact area appeared unchanged between injured and uninjured ankles, significant increases in external rotation and lateral translation were noted, leaving clinical implications of these findings still unclear.
Thriving Through Adaptation: Adaptive Sports after Spinal Cord Injury.
Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am
February 2025
This article focuses on identifying how health care providers can support a person with spinal cord injury to pursue and maintain involvement in adaptive sports. Benefits and barriers of sport participation, equipment considerations, and recommendations on how to determine sport appropriateness for a person with spinal cord injury will be provided. The authors emphasize through appropriate medical management and consideration of level of disability, functional performance, psychological readiness, and individual preference, a health care provider can play a valuable role in connecting individuals with spinal cord injury to adaptive sports and recreation.

We evaluate the association of race with presenting stage, treatment, and survival of invasive breast cancer among octogenarians.
Methods: Women (≥ 80 years) with invasive breast cancer were identified in 2004-2020 NCDB.
