Productive cough, a forgotten phenotype of refractory chronic cough.

Background: Refractory chronic cough (RCC) patients typically complain of a dry cough. Sputum production in these patients has rarely been described in the literature. However, sputum production in RCC may be common, troublesome and particularly challenging to manage.

Syncope: a complication of chronic cough.

Purity Independent Subtyping of Tumors (PurIST), A Clinically Robust, Single-sample Classifier for Tumor Subtyping in Pancreatic Cancer.

Purpose: Molecular subtyping for pancreatic cancer has made substantial progress in recent years, facilitating the optimization of existing therapeutic approaches to improve clinical outcomes in pancreatic cancer. With advances in treatment combinations and choices, it is becoming increasingly important to determine ways to place patients on the best therapies upfront. Although various molecular subtyping systems for pancreatic cancer have been proposed, consensus regarding proposed subtypes, as well as their relative clinical utility, remains largely unknown and presents a natural barrier to wider clinical adoption.
