Lower Extremity Blood Flow Restriction Training in Athletes Significantly Improves Strength-Related Outcomes in 58% of Studies Compared to Non-Blood Flow Restriction Control.

Purpose: To examine the role of lower extremity blood flow restriction (BFR) in the athletic population.

Methods: This study was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. Searches of Level I and II studies were performed on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases.

Rectal Cancer Watch & Wait Management: Experience of 545 Patients from the U.S. Rectal Cancer Research Group.

Background: The use of a watch and wait management strategy following a complete clinical response to neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer is increasing. However, insights into implementation, treatments, and outcomes, on a United States national level, are limited.

Objective: To investigate and report on watch & wait management practices and outcomes in the US.

Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification in NRG Oncology Phase III Randomized Trials Using Multimodal Deep Learning With Digital Histopathology.

Purpose: Current clinical risk stratification methods for localized prostate cancer are suboptimal, leading to over- and undertreatment. Recently, machine learning approaches using digital histopathology have shown superior prognostic ability in phase III trials. This study aims to develop a clinically usable risk grouping system using multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) models that outperform current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk groups.

Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins-a report of two cases.

Background: Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins (IMHMV) is a rare condition that poses a diagnostic challenge to surgeons and pathologists alike. Our aim is to describe two cases of IMHMV requiring operative intervention. The challenge going forward is accurately and systematically identifying factors from both a pathologic and clinical perspective that guide timely diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatment.

The predicting value of post neoadjuvant treatment magnetic resonance imaging: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Neoadjuvant therapy has become standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer patients. It is correlated with improved clinical and pathological outcomes, including significant tumor downstaging and organ preservation in certain patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has become the standard for pre-operative staging, is also used for clinical and pre-operative restaging following pre-operative treatment.
