Importance: Few studies have assessed the relationships between language, race, and code status in a PICU.
Objectives: We aimed to identify whether non-English language preference (NELP) or race was associated with code status in a PICU.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of 45,143 patients admitted to the PICU between January 2013 and December 2022, excluding those with pre-PICU do not resuscitate (DNR) orders.
Purpose: NFE2L2/KEAP1/CUL3 mutations have been validated for radiation resistance in cell-based assays and animal models. However, clinical validation of these biomarkers has been challenging due to multimodality treatment regimens. This study aims to investigate the association between NFE2L2/KEAP1/CUL3 mutations and patient outcomes, including local failure (LF), locoregional failures (LRF), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), using samples from a phase III trial in which patients were treated with radiation monotherapy at 2 controlled doses.

Background: The breast-sharing technique uses the lower quadrants discarded from a contralateral symmetrizing reduction mammoplasty to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy. The aim of our study was to revisit this old technique and to improve its vascular predictability by preoperative computed tomography angiography (angio-CT) and intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) imaging.
Methods: Twenty-six patients were enrolled and assessed by a preoperative angio-CT to localize and evaluate the internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP).
Purpose: The scapholunate ligament (SLL) is the most frequently injured wrist ligament. The aim of this study was to investigate cellular and extracellular changes within the SLL following injury.
Methods: Fifteen SLLs were harvested, ranging between 39 days to 20 years from time of injury.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the progression patterns and outcomes of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) patients with neck disease who received high-dose intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), focusing on those with unresected or partially resected tumors. !* -
- The analysis included 40 patients treated from 2010 to 2020, revealing a median overall survival of 7.1 months and a median progression-free survival of 7.4 months for those with locoregional disease. !* -
- The findings indicate that despite aggressive treatment, 53% of patients experienced loco-regional progression, predominantly in highly irradiated areas, emphasizing the need for improved targeting and strategy in treatment planning. !
