Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises 85% of cases with rising incidence among never-smokers (NS). This study seeks to compare clinical, imaging, pathology, and outcomes between NS and ever-smokers (S) NSCLC patients to identify significant differences if any.

Due to the lack of early clinical signs, metastasis often occurs before diagnosis, impacting treatment and prognosis. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common comorbidity in lung cancer patients, with shared risk factors exacerbating outcomes.

- Facets synovial cysts (FSCs) are benign growths from facet joints that can lead to nerve pain, and this study explored the effectiveness of CT-guided procedures for their treatment, comparing IPCR and DF methods.
- The retrospective review examined 90 FSC rupture attempts on 75 patients over 10 years, revealing that IPCR alone had a 70% success rate, but when combined with DF after IPCR failure, the success rate rose to 90.6%.
- The study concluded that having the option to use DF after IPCR failure significantly improves treatment outcomes, highlighting the advantages of using CT guidance for these procedures.

The registry seeks to further understand the natural history and prevalence of FKRP-related conditions; aid the rapid identification of eligible patients for clinical studies; and provide a source of information to clinical and academic communities.
Methods: Registration is patient-initiated through a secure online portal.
Objective: This study examined the association between age at alcohol use onset and adult alcohol misuse and dependence by testing the sensitive-period hypothesis that early adolescence (11-14) is a vulnerable period of development during which initiating alcohol use is particularly harmful.
Method: Data came from a longitudinal panel of 808 participants recruited in 1981. Participants were followed through age 33 in 2008 with 92% retention.
