Investigating age and ethnicity as novel high-risk phenotypes in mucinous ovarian cancer: retrospective study in a multi-ethnic population.

Objectives: Primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma represents 3% of ovarian cancers and is typically diagnosed early, yielding favorable outcomes. This study aims to identify risk factors, focussing on the impact of age and ethnicity on survival from primary mucinous ovarian cancer.

Methods: A retrospective observational study of patients treated at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust and University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

A novel conditional active biologic anti-EpCAM x anti-CD3 bispecific antibody with synergistic tumor selectivity for cancer immunotherapy.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays several roles in cancer biology. EpCAM is an attractive therapeutic target because of its expression in most solid tumors. However, targeting EpCAM has been challenging because it is also highly expressed in normal epithelial tissues.

The long shadow of woody encroachment: An integrated approach to modeling grassland songbird habitat.

Animals must track resources over relatively fine spatial and temporal scales, particularly in disturbance-mediated systems like grasslands. Grassland birds respond to habitat heterogeneity by dispersing among sites within and between years, yet we know little about how they make post-dispersal settlement decisions. Many methods exist to quantify the resource selection of mobile taxa, but the habitat data used in these models are frequently not collected at the same location or time that individuals were present.

Uterine Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase Rearranged Spindle Cell Neoplasms: Three Cases of an Emerging Entity.

Uterine sarcomas are rare; most are either smooth muscle or endometrial stromal in origin. Recent molecular advances have identified several, genetically defined entities with specific morphologic, clinicopathological associations, and therapeutic options. We report 3 cases of uterine neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase ( NTRK )-rearranged spindle cell neoplasms," currently classified as "emerging entities" in the WHO Classification of Female Genital Tract Tumors, 2020, Fifth Edition.

Telemedicine Critical Care-Mediated Mortality Reductions in Lower-Performing Patient Diagnosis Groups: A Prospective, Before and After Study.

Objectives: Studies evaluating telemedicine critical care (TCC) have shown mixed results. We prospectively evaluated the impact of TCC implementation on risk-adjusted mortality among patients stratified by pre-TCC performance.

Design: Prospective, observational, before and after study.
