MDM2 analysis in the management of benign lipomas versus atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas: A useful prognostication tool?

Introduction: Well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLS) are low-grade lipomatous tumors with low malignant potential. Previous review identified controversy on whether upfront wide resection is necessary when they occur on the trunk or the extremities. MDM2 amplification is a genetic mutation typically present in WDLS and absent in benign lipomas (BL).

Development and initial implementation of electronic clinical decision supports for recognition and management of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients and is associated with poor patient outcomes and high costs of care. The implementation of clinical decision support tools within electronic medical record (EMR) could improve AKI care and outcomes. While clinical decision support tools have the potential to enhance recognition and management of AKI, there is limited description in the literature of how these tools were developed and whether they meet end-user expectations.

Surgical management of truncal and extremities atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcoma: A systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Atypical lipomatous tumors or well-differentiated liposarcomas (ALT/WDLS) are low-grade soft tissue tumors that are commonly located on the trunk and extremities. There is no consensus on the best surgical approach for ALT/WDLS.

Methods: A systematic literature review of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Scopus, and google scholar was performed.

Identification of Mature Atherosclerotic Plaque Proteome Signatures Using Data-Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with complex pathobiology and one of the most common causes of cardiovascular events. The process is characterized by complex vascular remodeling processes that require the actions of numerous proteins. The composition of atherosclerotic plaque is increasingly recognized as a major factor governing the occurrence of cardiovascular or neurological symptoms.
