Patterns in progression from early-stage melanoma to late-stage melanoma: implications for survivorship follow-up.
Melanoma Manag
December 2024
Cleveland Clinic, Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland, OH44195, USA.
This study determined the characteristics of patients with early-stage melanoma (IA-IIA) who later had stage IV recurrence. We retrospectively examined 880 melanoma patients and identified those who progressed to stage IV disease from an initial early-stage (n = 50). We observed a median latent period of 4 years between early-stage diagnosis and metastatic disease.

Spine Deform
January 2025
Spine Unit, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Institute of Orthopedics, Lerdsin Hospital, College of Medicine, Rangsit University, 190 Silom Road, Bangkok, 10500, Thailand.
Study Design: A prospective comparative study.
Objectives: To compare the curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using supine traction push-prone and push-prone traction radiographs and to determine which method is more effective in predicting the postsurgical correction.
Background: Preserving spinal motion is one of the critical objectives in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery.
Distinct Functional Roles of Narrow and Broadband High-Gamma Activities in Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex.
J Neurophysiol
January 2025
Neuroscience Research Institute, Seoul National University Medical Research Center, Seoul, Korea.
Previous studies have shown that high-gamma (HG) activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) has distinct higher (broadband) and lower (narrowband) components with different functions and origins. However, it is unclear whether a similar segregation exists in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), and the origins and roles of HG activity in S1 remain unknown. Here, we investigate the functional roles and origins of HG activity in S1 during tactile stimulation in humans and a rat model.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, and Occupational Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, USA.
Background: People undergoing major orthopaedic surgery are at increased risk of postoperative thromboembolic events. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are recommended for thromboprophylaxis in this population. New oral anticoagulants, including direct factor Xa inhibitors, are recommended as alternatives.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada.
Rationale: Osteoporosis is an abnormal reduction in bone mass and bone deterioration, leading to increased fracture risk. Alendronate belongs to the bisphosphonate class of drugs, which inhibit bone resorption by interfering with the activity of osteoclasts (bone cells that break down bone tissue). This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2008.
