Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term physical performance and activity levels of older men who have survived radical prostate cancer compared to matched controls.
- The research included 109 men aged 70 and older who had received robotic surgery or radiation therapy, and their results were compared to 327 men from the general population.
- Overall, survivors showed similar physical performance and activity levels as controls, with only minor differences in grip strength and balance that might not be clinically significant, indicating that cancer treatment likely did not adversely affect their functional status.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality, emphasizing the need for advanced biomarkers to guide treatment. As part of an international consortium, we previously categorized CRCs into four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1-CMS4), showing promise for outcome prediction. To facilitate clinical integration of CMS classification in settings where formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are routinely used, we developed NanoCMSer, a NanoString-based CMS classifier using 55 genes.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Recently, there have been annual increases in emergency medical service (EMS) demand with concurrent clinician shortages. Understanding the diverse number of EMS clinicians available for emergent roles is vital for planning and resource management. Our study aims to understand the roles and environments of US EMS clinicians.

- - A long-term study in Norway tracked 9,745 individuals for 30 years to explore how midlife depression and anxiety might influence the risk of developing dementia.
- - The research found that individuals who later developed dementia showed higher rates of anxiety and depression throughout the study, with a notable increase especially in the years leading up to their dementia diagnosis.
- - The results indicated that mixed anxiety and depressive symptoms were more prevalent in older individuals with dementia, suggesting a significant link between mental health issues in midlife and subsequent dementia risk across various types of dementia.
