Background: Several clinical trials have shown that immunotherapy plays a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with metastatic synovial sarcoma. Immune-related genes (IRGs) have been demonstrated to predict the immunotherapy response in certain malignant tumours. However, the clinical significance of IRGs in patients with synovial sarcoma (SS) is still unclear.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge to global health. In the context of an overwhelmed healthcare system and the rising demand for alternative strategies to manage stress and anxiety, this study aims to investigate and analyze the use of Integrative and Complementary Practices (ICP) in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing their importance in promoting health and well-being. We conducted a cross-sectional study among n = 12,136 Brazilian adults predominantly female, white, under 40 years of age and with a predominantly higher education level between August 24 and December 16, 2020, to assess the use of ICP.

Electronic spins associated with the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond offer an opportunity to study spin-related phenomena with extremely high sensitivity owing to their high degree of optical polarization. Here, we study both single- and double-quantum transitions (SQT and DQT) in NV centers between spin-mixed states, which arise from magnetic fields that are non-collinear to the NV axis. We demonstrate the amplification of the ESR signal from both these types of transition under laser illumination.

Introduction: Integrated care pathways (ICPs) are crucial for delivering individualised care. However, the development of ICPs is challenging and must be well designed to provide the expected benefits. Regarding this, healthcare organisations are increasingly adopting management systems based on Lean Thinking to improve their organisational processes by eliminating non-value-added steps.

Background: Patients with active cancer and aortic stenosis may be under-referred for valve interventions due to concerns over a prohibitive risk. However, whether active cancer impacts outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unknown.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library in December 2023 for studies comparing the post-TAVR outcomes of patients with versus without active cancer.
