Purpose: Determine if molecular classification using mismatch repair (MMR) and p53 protein expression predicts recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in endometrial cancer (EC) patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation (CRT) versus chemotherapy (CT).

Methods: GOG-0258, a phase III randomized trial (NCT00942357), compared CRT to CT. Immunohistochemistry assessed MMR and p53 status.

Article Synopsis
  • The Kimel Family Centre is conducting a two-year study to assess personalized dementia risk reduction programs aimed at lowering dementia risk and improving cognitive health in participants aged 50 and older.
  • Participants will undergo a thorough dementia risk assessment to receive tailored reports that address their specific health risk factors across five domains: physical activity, nutrition, cognitive engagement, social connections, and mental wellbeing.
  • About 450 participants will select programs based on their individual strategies, with assessments happening every six months and annually to track changes in their dementia risk and cognitive health.

Limited research has characterized the metabolic health benefits of bodyweight interval exercise (BWE) performed outside of a laboratory setting. Metabolic responses to exercise can also be influenced by meal timing around exercise, but the interactive effects of BWE and nutrition are unknown. This study investigated the effects of BWE performed in the fasted or fed state on postprandial glycemia, post-exercise fat oxidation and appetite perceptions.

Distributed and point-of-care (POC) manufacturing facilities enable an agile pharmaceutical production paradigm that can respond to localized needs, providing personalized and precision medicine. These capabilities are critical for narrow therapeutic index drugs and pediatric or geriatric dosing, among other specialized needs. Advanced additive manufacturing, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and drop-on-demand (DoD) dispensing technologies have begun to expand into pharmaceutical production.

The impact of training volume on protein requirements in endurance trained males was investigated with indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) methodology on a recovery day (REST) or after a 10 or 20 km run while consuming a single suboptimal protein intake (0.93 g/kg/day). Phenylalanine excretion (FCO; inverse proxy for whole body protein synthesis) was greatest and phenylalanine net balance was lowest on REST compared to post-exercise recovery with no difference between training volumes.
