Article Synopsis
- Increasing yield in mass insect rearing is essential for food and feed production, but there's limited understanding of how different diets affect insect growth and survival.
- The study focused on how different protein-to-carbohydrate diets influenced the growth and development of tropical house crickets from hatch to adulthood, using a nutritional geometry approach.
- Findings showed that a 3:1 protein-to-carbohydrate diet maximized yield, with crickets growing larger and surviving better, while males tended to consume more protein than females despite both preferring a more balanced 1.05:1 diet.
Article Synopsis
- Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) and its similar tumor, malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor/sarcoma (GINET), often lead to local and distant relapses, with limited success from systemic treatments.
- A study analyzed data from 43 patients, revealing a 5-year overall survival rate of 42%, with most tumors being EWSR1::ATF1-translocation-positive and showing a high rate of metastasis.
- The findings highlighted that complete tumor resection significantly improves survival rates compared to incomplete resection, while systemic treatments and radiation were largely ineffective.
Purpose: The prognosis of patients with metastatic GIST and imatinib-sensitive primary mutations has significantly improved. However, limited data are available to inform patients about outcomes across different lines of treatment. This retrospective analysis aims to evaluate patient outcomes at a large German GIST referral center over the past 15 years.

These disparities persist in hospitals with staffed professional interpreters, raising questions about interpreter access and the impact on outcomes. A retrospective review of 1133 trauma activations at a single center Level 1 Trauma Center in 2021-2022 was conducted.
