Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of 25Gy/5# prophylactic pelvic nodal irradiation for regional control during stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) for high risk prostate cancer.

Methods: The multinational XXXX consortium database of patients treated with curative-intent prostate SBRT for high risk prostate cancer was queried for prophylactic radiotherapy 25Gy/5# to the pelvic lymph nodes. Details of Phoenix-defined biochemical failure, and location of recurrence (local, regional, or distant) were extracted.

Evidence that myelin repair is crucial for functional recovery in multiple sclerosis (MS) led to the identification of bexarotene (BXT). This clinically promising remyelinating agent activates multiple nuclear hormone receptor subtypes implicated in myelin repair. However, BXT produces unacceptable hyperlipidemia.

Recent studies report a fluctuating course of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across development characterized by intermittent periods of remission and recurrence. In the Multimodal Treatment of ADHD (MTA) study, we investigated fluctuating ADHD including clinical expression over time, childhood predictors, and between- and within-person associations with factors hypothesized as relevant to remission and recurrence. Children with ADHD, combined type (N 483), participating in the MTA adult follow-up were assessed 9 times from baseline (mean age = 8.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies suggest that oligodendrocyte lineage cells show varying functional and molecular characteristics during development and in diseases, notably multiple sclerosis, where grey matter lesions undergo more remyelination than white matter lesions.* -
  • Research comparing progenitor cells and mature oligodendrocytes from grey and white matter revealed that grey matter cells were better at ensheathing synthetic nanofibers and were more vulnerable to metabolic injury, indicating unique molecular profiles between the two types.* -
  • RNA sequencing demonstrated that differences in gene expression are more pronounced between cell types than regions, with grey matter cells showing higher levels of genes important for myelination, while both cell types exhibited up-regulated genes related to stress and injury response.*
