Article Synopsis
- Researchers created a new risk model called G-score to better predict if patients with solitary fibrous tumors will have recurrences, or if their disease will come back.
- They studied a large group of 318 patients worldwide and found that 33% had their disease come back over time.
- The G-score did a really good job at predicting who was at low risk for recurrence compared to other models, which means patients with a low score might not need to visit the doctor as often.
Background: The prognostic impact of comorbidities in patients with sarcomas is not well defined. The aims of this study were to examine the implications of comorbidities and abnormal peripheral blood indices in patients with sarcomas.
Methods: A population-based database was assembled to extract patients with sarcoma in Hong Kong between January 2004 and March 2018.
Fluorescence imaging signal is severely limited by the quantum efficiency and emission wavelength. To overcome these challenges, novel NIR-emitting KNdLiF nanoparticles under NIR excitation was introduced as fluorescence imaging probe for the first time. The photostability of KNdLiF nanoparticles in the water, phosphate buffer saline, fetal bovine serum and living mice was investigated.

We investigated the glutamate-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the protective effects of PIN and NAS in the retina.

Cure is rare and utilizing information arising from our improved understanding of brain tumor biology may be of value. Interferon alpha (IFNalpha) treatment as restorative immunotherapy has been utilized in malignant gliomas in the past.

Methods: Intraoperative angiography was performed prospectively in the surgical treatment of 517 consecutive aneurysms regardless of the lesion's location, size, or complexity.
