Recent advancements in immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that target programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), have provided renewed optimism for the treatment of patients with TNBC.

Article Synopsis
  • Postinduction hypotension (PIH) is a serious concern for older adults undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), as it can lead to negative health outcomes.* -
  • The study analyzed 777 TAVR patients, finding that those with PIH had a higher incidence of complications such as stroke and acute kidney injury compared to those without PIH.* -
  • The results indicate that managing PIH is crucial because it significantly increases the risk of severe postoperative issues, particularly in older patients.*

Low-quality wound healing and defects in the suture technique lead to the occurrence of incisional hernia (IH). However, the causal relationship between human circulating inflammatory cytokines, immune cell traits, and the risk of IH remains unclear.
