Characteristics and prognosis of testicular mixed teratoma and seminoma.
J Cancer Res Ther
December 2024
Department of Urology, The Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, Gusu School, Nanjing Medical University, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China.
Background: To evaluate the association of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics with the survival of patients with testicular mixed teratoma and seminoma (TMTS).
Methods: The data of 3296 eligible patients with TMTS who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier survival curves.
High-Cost Cancer Drug Use in Medicare Advantage and Traditional Medicare.
JAMA Health Forum
January 2025
Department of Health Systems, Management, and Policy, University of Colorado Cancer Center, Aurora.
Importance: Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are designed to incentivize the use of less expensive drugs through capitated payments, formulary control, and preauthorizations for certain drugs. These conditions may reduce spending on high-cost therapies for conditions such as cancer, a condition that is among the most expensive to treat.
Objective: To determine whether patients insured by MA plans receive less high-cost drugs than those insured by traditional Medicare (TM).
Balancing enthalpy and entropy in inhibitor binding to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).
Phys Chem Chem Phys
January 2025
Center for Advanced Materials Research, Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai, Zhuhai, 519087, China.
Understanding the molecular mechanism of inhibitor binding to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is of fundamental importance for designing targeted drugs for prostate cancer. Here we designed a series of PSMA-targeting inhibitors with distinct molecular structures, which were synthesized and characterized using both experimental and computational approaches. Microsecond molecular dynamics simulations revealed the structural and thermodynamic details of PSMA-inhibitor interactions.

Esophagus
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-Machi, Aoba-Ku, Sendai, Miyagi, 980-8574, Japan.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is standard for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, though often ineffective. Therefore, predicting the response to chemotherapy before treatment is desirable. However, there is currently no established method for predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

J Community Genet
January 2025
Laboratório de Hormônios e Genética Molecular-LIM42, Disc de Endocrinologia do Hospital das Clínicas, da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Neonatal screening is a critical public health initiative introduced worldwide to detect severe congenital disorders early in life. This study provides an updated overview of public neonatal screening in Brazil, highlighting the transition from initial pilot projects to a robust national program. Through the analysis of recent data up to 2023, we discuss the coverage and regional efficiencies of the program.
