Background/aim: The clinical benefits of durvalumab consolidation therapy following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with daily low-dose carboplatin in elderly patients with unresectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear.
Patients And Methods: This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study. We analyzed the medical records of consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC who received CCRT with daily low-dose carboplatin from April 2014 to March 2021.
The autologous pericardial aortic valve repair technique developed by Ozaki et al., using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium, has demonstrated superior durability to bioprosthetic valves. However, this technique has certain limitations, including excessive cusp height and cusp fluttering due to leaflet redunduncy.

We aimed to investigate clinicopathological and molecular features of PTC in AYA patients and compare them to those of PTC in older patients (≥40 years). This retrospective study enrolled 1,677 patients diagnosed with PTC from January 2018 to December 2022, with 400 AYA patients and 1,277 older adults.

- Oceanic islands are valuable for studying plant ecology and evolution, particularly through cases like Callicarpa glabra, Callicarpa parvifolia, and Callicarpa subpubescens, which are native to the Ogasawara Islands.
- These species exemplify evolutionary changes such as adaptive radiation and dioecious sex expression, making them ideal candidates for understanding genetic relationships and colonization processes.
- Phylogenomic analysis revealed that these species share a common ancestor with East Asian plants, having diverged about three million years ago, likely due to long-distance dispersal from East Asia followed by speciation on the islands.
Background: This study was designed to compare diagnostic categories of thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and incidence of thyroid tumors in the multi-institutional Asian series with a special focus on diagnostic category IV (suspicious for a follicular neoplasm) and follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTCs).
Methods: Distribution of FNAC categories, incidence of thyroid tumors in resection specimens and cytologic diagnoses of surgically confirmed follicular adenomas (FAs) and FTCs were collected from 10 institutes from five Asian countries and were compared among countries and between FAs and FTCs.
Results: The frequency of category IV diagnoses (3.
