Anal cancer is an uncommon disease in a sensitive region of the body that benefits from early and systematic workup and treatment. Main modalities for workup include history, physical examination, and MRI. PET scan and computed tomography scan are helpful in assessing spread of disease.

Article Synopsis
- Increased left ventricular mass is linked to serious heart issues such as cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, with a focus on understanding the variability in regional hypertrophy patterns.
- The study analyzed data from over 35,000 UK Biobank participants, finding that specific patterns of hypertrophy (apical and septal) are associated with higher risks for cardiovascular problems, independent of overall left ventricular mass.
- The results indicate that apical and septal hypertrophy may have distinct genetic influences, suggesting the need for more research to explore these variations in diverse populations.
Background: Strict patient isolation in hospital is associated with adverse health outcomes. However, there is a lack of high-quality evidence for effective interventions to improve safety and quality of care for these patients.
Aims: To identify patient reported areas for improvement in the care of patients in hospital isolation and to determine the feasibility of collecting patient reported outcomes using validated tools.
Article Synopsis
- The rise of omic data brings new challenges in how we handle, analyze, and integrate this information, which is crucial for biological research.
- Bioconductor serves as a comprehensive platform for community-driven analysis of biological data, while tidy R programming introduces an innovative approach for organizing and manipulating data.
- The tidyomics software ecosystem connects Bioconductor with tidy R practices, aiming to simplify omic analysis and facilitate collaboration across different scientific disciplines, as evidenced by its successful application in analyzing a large dataset from the Human Cell Atlas.
