Article Synopsis
- Synovial sarcoma is a type of aggressive soft-tissue cancer with limited response to current immunotherapies, highlighting the need for better understanding of the immune cells in its tumor microenvironment.
- Researchers studied 41 patients to analyze the relationship between immune cell types, tumor subtype (biphasic vs. monophasic), disease progression, and response to treatments like chemotherapy.
- Findings indicated that biphasic synovial sarcomas had a higher presence of immune cells, particularly T cells, which correlated with better patient survival, suggesting they may respond more favorably to immunotherapies.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare macular thickness measurements using two imaging methods (OCT and OCTA) in diabetic patients.
- Despite similar macular thickness readings in most areas, the OCTA method provided quicker scans with less fixation deviation compared to OCT.
- Using OCTA may enhance patient comfort and streamline clinical processes by reducing the need for additional scanning methods.
Facial emotion perception deficits, a possible indicator of illness progression and transdiagnostic phenotype, were examined in high-risk psychosis (CHR) patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 35 studies (2567 CHR individuals, 1103 non-transitioned [CHR-NT], 212 transitioned [CHR-T], 512 first-episode psychosis [FEP], and 1936 healthy controls [HC]). CHR showed overall (g = -0.369 [95 % CI, -0.
