Position statement of the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis on the use of Telemedicine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic digestive condition that requires continuous monitoring by healthcare professionals to determine appropriate therapy and manage short- and long-term complications. Telemedicine has become an essential approach for managing chronic conditions such as IBD, improving care accessibility and continuity, decreasing hospitalization rates, and optimizing patient follow-up. It enables rapid treatment adjustments and encourages patient self-management.

Left ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmias in asymptomatic patients with systemic sclerosis.

Introduction And Aims: Cardiac involvement in systemic sclerosis (SS) is frequently silent and a major cause of mortality in these patients. This work aims to study the prevalence and associations of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and arrhythmias in SS.

Methods And Results: Prospective study of SS patients (n=36), excluding those with symptoms of (or) cardiac disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension or cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF).

Non-classical Notch signaling by MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell-derived small extracellular vesicles promotes malignancy in poorly invasive MCF-7 cells.

Aberrant Notch signaling is implicated in breast cancer progression, and recent studies have demonstrated links between the Notch pathway components Notch1 and Notch1 intracellular domain (N1ICD) with poor clinical outcomes. Growing evidence suggests that Notch signaling can be regulated by small extracellular vesicles (SEVs). Here, we used breast cancer cell models to examine whether SEVs are involved in functional Notch signaling.
