Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic condition that increases the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, which can result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have become a key tool in managing patients with unexplained syncope, and guidelines advise their use in individuals with recurrent, unexplained syncope or palpitations. However, the role of ILRs in inherited arrhythmic conditions like BrS remains a topic of debate.

Previous data suggests almost one third of myeloma patients acquire mutations in the key IMiD effector cereblon by the time they are pomalidomide refractory. Some events, including stop codons/frameshift mutations and copy loss, having clearly explicable effects on cereblon function.

The immune system has emerged as a major factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). PANoptosis is a newly defined programmed cell death mechanism related to many inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to identify the differentially expressed (DE) PANoptosis-related genes with characteristics of immune dysregulation (PRGIDs) in AD using bioinformatics analysis of bulk RNA-seq and single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data.

A subset of ER+/HER2- BC contains dense lymphocytic infiltration. We hypothesized that addition of an anti-programmed death 1 agent may increase pCR rates in this BC subtype.

Background: According to the latest Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) guidelines, carotid revascularization for asymptomatic individuals should be offered if the perioperative stroke/death rate does not exceed 3%. Heart failure (HF) has been associated with reduced survival rates following carotid revascularization, which may significantly impact the risk-benefit decision of treating asymptomatic patients with HF. This study aimed to evaluate the 30-day postoperative risks in asymptomatic patients with newly diagnosed and/or decompensated HF undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS).
