AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on 30 patients with locally advanced breast cancer, treated with a combination chemotherapy regimen and radiation therapy.
- The therapy had a high overall clinical response rate of 96.7%, with 83.3% showing positive results on mammography.
- Following treatment, 25 patients underwent radical mastectomy, and 66.6% of them had no recurrence within three years, indicating effective management of their cancer.
Article Abstract
The investigation involved 30 patients with locally advanced breast cancer (T3-4N1-2M0). Combination therapy comprised two courses: carboplatin 300 mg/m2, i.v., dropwise, on day 1; doxorubicin 30 mg/m2, i.v., bolus-flow, on days 1 and 8; 5-fluorouracil 350 mg/m2, i.v., bolus-flow, on days 1 and 8, and irradiation of the breast and regional metastasis area (single target dose--2 Gy, total target dose--40 Gy). Overall clinical response was 96.7% (29/30), mammography-wise--83.3% (25/30). All patients were found operable and radical mastectomy was performed in 25. Therapeutic effect stage III-IV was histologically confirmed in 40% (25/30), stage I-II--60% (15/25). Median overall and recurrence-free survival was not reached within 36 months in 24/30, relapse-free survival was been reported in 16/24 (66.6%), tumor progression--8/24 (33.4%). Three-year; host-mastectomy recurrence-free survival--68.8 +/- 16.0%.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that causes severe joint deformities and impaired functionality, affecting the well-being and daily life of individuals. Consequently, there is a pressing demand for identifying viable therapeutic targets for treating RA. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of osteoclast differentiation in PBMC from patients with RA through transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.

Introduction Recently, immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have become crucial in regulating cancer progression and treatment responses. The dynamic interactions between tumors and immune cells are emerging as a promising strategy to activate the host's immune system against various cancers. The development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involve complex biological processes, with the role of the TME and tumor phenotypes still not fully understood.

Background: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia that induces blood coagulation and hemolysis upon exposure to cold temperatures. Strict temperature control is essential to mitigate these effects, especially during surgical procedures where hypothermia is possible.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male, 165 cm and 72 kg, diagnosed with CAD, underwent cerebral vascular anastomosis.

Morphea is a chronic inflammatory fibrosing disorder. Since fibrosis is the hallmark of both scars and morphea, our attention was raised for the possible use of Fractional Ablative CO lasers and microneedling as treatment modalities for morphea. To compare the efficacy and safety of Fractional Ablative CO lasers and microneedling in the treatment of morphea.

Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.
