Background: It has been hypothesized that both atrial fibrillation (AF) and medications for AF are poorly tolerated in athletes.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of AF and AF treatments on sports performance.
Methods: An Internet-based survey, initiated via StopAfib.
Background: Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare melanoma subtype characterized by dense fibrous stroma, a propensity for local recurrence, and a high response rate to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade. Occult sentinel lymph node positivity is significantly lower in both pure and mixed DM than in conventional melanoma, underscoring the need for better prognostic biomarkers to inform therapeutic strategies.
Methods: We assembled a tissue microarray comprising various cores of tumor, stroma, and lymphoid aggregates from 45 patients with histologically confirmed DM diagnosed between 1989 and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to assess the effectiveness of radiotherapy in managing brain metastases and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in breast cancer patients and to provide treatment recommendations based on existing literature.
- A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed for studies published between 1985 and May 2023, focusing on various types of radiotherapy for breast cancer-related brain metastases.
- Conclusions indicate that while specific radiotherapy guidelines show variability based on breast cancer subtypes, stereotactic radiosurgery is generally recommended for 1-4 brain metastases, while whole-brain radiotherapy is advised for multiple cases, especially in symptomatic patients, although treatment plans should be tailored and may include reevaluating local options after several weeks.
The nucleation of bubbles on solid surfaces is an important phenomenon in nature and technological processes like electrolysis. During proton-exchange membrane electrolysis, the nucleation and separation of the electrically nonconductive oxygen in the anodic cycle plays a crucial role to minimize the overpotential it causes in the system. This increases the efficiency of the process, making renewable energy sources and the "power-to-gas" strategy more viable.
