Background: This study aimed to investigate prognostic factors for predicting the survival of patients with extensive-disease-stage small-cell lung cancer treated with chemoimmunotherapy.
Methods: Patients were classified according to overall survival (OS): favorable corresponded to an OS ≥ 24 months, moderate corresponded to an OS of 6-24 months, and poor corresponded to an OS < 6 months. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate prognostic factors.
Is multidisciplinary treatment effective for invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma?

Article Synopsis
- * Analyzing data from 1183 patients, it found that completing 6 months of postoperative adjuvant therapy significantly improved overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival, especially for high-risk patients.
- * Additionally, neoadjuvant therapy showed benefits for those with borderline resectable IPMC, and any treatment for recurrence after surgery was linked to longer survival compared to no treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated treatment strategies for nonfunctioning small pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-spNENs) in a large Japanese cohort, with a focus on surgically resected cases.
- A total of 606 NF-spNENs were analyzed, revealing that tumor grade and size significantly impacted outcomes, including lymph node metastasis and recurrence.
- Findings suggest that treatment plans should prioritize personalized approaches based on tumor grading and size rather than relying solely on size for decision-making.
Extremism, knowledge, and overconfidence in the covid-19 restriction times.
Front Psychol
February 2024
Public response to restriction policy against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can polarize into two extremes: one absolutely in favor of restrictions for the sake of human life and health, and other absolutely against the restrictions for the sake of human rights and daily life. This study examines psychological nature of extremism regarding individuals' self-restraint from social behavior, which was and has been encouraged by the Japanese government as restriction measures, as well as possible measures to mitigate this extremism. We hypothesize that people with more extreme views on self-restraint tend to have less knowledge of this virus, and, nevertheless, tend to be more overconfident in the sense that they falsely believe they understand COVID-19 and the effects of self-restraint.

This study evaluated whether muscle mass depletion assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and low muscle strength assessed by the peak expiratory flow rate as a percentage of predicted value (%PEFR) were associated with surgical outcomes in patients with resected NSCLC.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 219 patients with resected NSCLC between 2016 and 2021.
