Article Synopsis
- * The tumor has a tendency to recur and can spread to the lungs many years after the initial diagnosis, although cases of lung LGFMS are extremely uncommon.

Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the need for a 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD) reference equation specifically for healthy North African adults over 40 years old, involving 229 Tunisian participants.
- The research found that existing reference equations were not accurate, and identified that gender, age, weight, and height significantly affect 6-MWD, explaining 77% of its variability.
- The study also highlighted that women with higher parity (more than six children) had a reduced 6-MWD compared to those with lower parity, and the newly developed equation provided a reliable prediction for 6-MWD measurements in this demographic.
