Background: Nursing care insurance companies in Germany have the legal mandate to develop measures to strengthen the health resources of residents of nursing homes. The present study aimed to examine a mindfulness-informed mind-body intervention (on-site and app) adapted for residents in nursing homes regarding their effect on health-related parameters.
Methods: A pilot study (DRKS00030409) was carried out with three groups in twelve nursing homes (RCT).
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often requires allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for cure, but historically alloHCT has been strikingly underutilized. Reasons for this remain uncertain at the population level. We examined alloHCT utilization over time and explored associations between demographic/healthcare factors and use of alloHCT by age group (AYA 15-39y, adult 40-64y, older adult 65-79y) using a linked dataset merging the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, California Cancer Registry, and California Patient Discharge Database.

- Childhood exposure to radioactive iodine from the Chornobyl accident increases the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), particularly in younger individuals.
- A study of 428 PTC cases found that cervical lymph node metastases (cLNM) were more common in PTC with certain genetic fusions compared to mutations, and this frequency varied significantly by specific gene types.
- Molecular profiling of the cLNM showed strong genetic concordance with primary PTCs and identified 17 differentially expressed genes, pointing to potential biological mechanisms in PTC metastasis that require further investigation.
