Background: Sinonasal mucosal melanoma has poor survival despite multimodality treatment. While the impact of immunotherapy (IT) on metastatic cutaneous melanoma is well-defined, there are relatively little data on sinonasal mucosal melanoma.

Objective: We sought to define immunotherapy outcomes in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma.

The effectiveness of loss-framed versus gain-framed messages in attracting attention and influencing purchase intention among younger and older adults remains unclear. We tracked the eye movements of 92 younger (18-39 years) and 83 older adults (60-82 years) while they viewed 32 advertisements and reported their purchase intentions for each advertised product. The results showed that loss-framed (vs.

Introduction: The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management of grade IV-V pancreaticoduodenal injuries.

Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers from January 2010 to December 2020.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex, life-threatening condition that requires timely care of patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients transferred to a cardiac intensive-care unit from outside hospitals, compared to those of patients admitted directly to a CS centre.

Methods: Patients admitted with CS (January 1, 2014-December 31, 2019) were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the role of pathological dural invasion (pathDI) as a predictor for neck metastases and recurrence in patients with olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), using data from a multicenter database of ONB cases collected between 2005 and 2021.
  • - Among the 258 patients reviewed, those with pathDI had a significantly lower 10-year neck recurrence-free survival (61.8%) compared to those without it (85.7%), indicating a strong negative impact of pathDI on prognosis.
  • - The analysis revealed that pathDI is a significant predictor of neck recurrence and recurrence at other sites, suggesting that future research could lead to changes in treatment strategies for patients with pathDI. *
