Beyond myeloid neoplasms germline guidelines: Validation of the thresholds criteria in the search of germline predisposition variants.

Introduction: Germline predisposition to myeloid neoplasms can be suspected in patients younger than 50 years or when harboring mutations with a variant allele frequency (VAF) higher than 30% for point mutations in specific genes. To investigate the VAF thresholds' accuracy we have explored the prevalence of germline variants below the 30% VAF threshold.

Methods: A total of 40 variants with VAF lower than 30% in bone marrow samples of myeloid neoplasm patients were selected and studied in CD3 cells.

Bile Acids in Pancreatic Carcinogenesis.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a dangerous digestive tract tumor that is becoming increasingly common and fatal. The most common form of PC is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Bile acids (BAs) are closely linked to the growth and progression of PC.

Case and Management Considerations of Low-Grade Cystic Duct Stump Dysplasia after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Cholecystectomies have become one of the more commonly practiced procedures. As a result, there has been a rise in neoplastic changes in excised specimens. Due to this, surgeons must be prepared to manage possible malignancy after resecting what was previously thought to be a benign gallbladder.

Mediators of Outcome in Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy with Youth: A Systematic Review.

This article aimed to provide a systematic narrative synthesis of existing studies on the mediators of change in psychotherapy with adolescents (10-19 years) and transition age youth (TAY) (20-29 years) who have experienced trauma-related symptoms or posttraumatic disorder. Additionally, we were interested in identifying psychotherapy-, trauma type-, and clients' age- and gender-specific mediators of treatment outcome. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, a total of 3,723 studies published in PubMed and PsycINFO databases were screened against inclusion criteria, revealing 15 eligible studies.
