Background: Risk-stratification of patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) relies on validated nomograms, such as Sarculator. This retrospective study investigated whether radiomic features extracted from computed tomography (CT) imaging could i) enhance the performance of Sarculator and ii) identify G3 dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) or leiomyosarcoma (LMS), which are currently consider in a randomized clinical trial testing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: Patients with primary localized RPS treated with curative-intent surgery (2011-2015) and available pre-operative CT imaging were included.
Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most abundant stromal cellular component in the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs contribute to tumorigenesis and have been proposed as targets for anticancer therapies. Similarly, dysregulation of SUMO machinery components can disrupt the balance of SUMOylation, contributing to tumorigenesis and drug resistance in various cancers, including breast cancer.

- The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up the use of digital tools in healthcare, especially telemedicine, which provides many advantages but faces challenges due to some doctors not being tech-savvy.
- A study was done at a Northern Italian university to explore medical students' and residents' readiness for using telemedicine after the pandemic, focusing on their tech skills and past experiences.
- Results showed that while most students had smartphones and wanted more telemedicine training, many were not confident in using digital health information and had limited experience with telemedicine in school.
Background: Mobile technology is increasingly prevalent in healthcare, serving various purposes, including remote health monitoring and patient self-management, which could prove beneficial to early hospital discharges.
Aims: This study investigates the transitional care program experience facilitating early discharges in a pediatric setting through the use of an easy-to-use mobile medical device (TytoCare™, TytoCare Ltd., Natanya, Israel).
