Article Synopsis
  • Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a serious disease typically diagnosed late, and while its incidence is rising in the US, specific trends based on race/ethnicity and stage at diagnosis are not well understood.
  • A study analyzed GBC incidence and mortality rates from 2001 to 2020 using data from the large American cancer databases, focusing on various racial/ethnic groups and different stages of the disease.
  • Findings showed a general decrease in GBC incidence across most races/ethnicities, with the exception of Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB), who had an increasing trend until 2014; early-stage GBC incidence was only declining in Hispanics, while Non-Hispanic Whites (NH

We sought to explore the strategies and behaviours employed by University serial winning coaches during seasons of both low performance and a maladaptive team culture. We interviewed seven University team sport coaches and subsequently analyzed the data using a reflexive thematic analysis (RTA). Results indicated that our coaches generally felt unprepared for the unexpected and challenging season, leading to increased stress and decreased psychological well-being.

Background: Colorectal cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. As early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) becomes more prevalent in the US, research attention has shifted towards identifying at-risk populations. Previous studies have highlighted the rising rate of early-onset adenocarcinoma (ADC) and neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in the US.

(1) Background: While prior data showed an increasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults, the contribution of adenocarcinoma (ADC) and neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to this trend is not well studied. Therefore, we conducted a comparative analysis of the incidence rates and time trends of colorectal ADC and NETs in young adults (aged 24-54) using the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database. (2) Methods: Age-adjusted CRC incidence rates between 2001 and 2020 were calculated and categorized by sex, histopathology, and stage at diagnosis.

Introduction: The hippocampus (HPC) supports integration of information across time, often indexed by associative inference (AI) and statistical learning (SL) tasks. In AI, an indirect association between stimuli that never appeared together is inferred, whereas SL involves learning item relationships by extracting regularities across experiences. A recent model of hippocampal function (Schapiro et al.

Aberrant ( signaling contributes to cancer cell development, proliferation, and metastases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). exon 14 (METex14) skipping mutation is noted in approximately 4% of NSCLC cases and is targetable with the recently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors capmatinib and tepotinib. Capmatinib, the focus of this review article, is a highly selective inhibitor approved for use in patients with ex14 mutated NSCLC.

Introduction: Brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) are frequently managed by endovascular embolization with a growing number of centers embolizing with intent to cure. Hemorrhage post-embolization is a severe and poorly understood complication. We present a novel imaging finding associated with post-embolization hemorrhage that has significantly impacted the management of patients at our institution.

Many breast cancer (BC) patients suffer from complications of metastatic disease. To form metastases, cancer cells must become migratory and coordinate both invasive and proliferative programs at distant organs. Here, we identify srGAP1 as a regulator of a proliferative-to-invasive switch in BC cells.
