Oncolytic bacteria are a classification of bacteria with a natural ability to specifically target solid tumors and, in the process, stimulate a potent immune response. Currently, these include species of , , , / (Coley's Toxin), , , and . Advancements in techniques and methodology, including genetic engineering, create opportunities to "hijack" typical host-pathogen interactions and subsequently harness oncolytic capacities.

The National Working Group on RE-AIM Planning and Evaluation Framework (herein Workgroup) was established in 2004 to support the application of the framework and advance dissemination and implementation science (D&I). Workgroup members developed and disseminated products and resources (and continue to do so) to advocate for consistent application of RE-AIM and allow for cross study comparisons. The purpose of this paper is to summarize key Workgroup activities, products, and services (e.

Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the completeness and accuracy of the reporting of sample size calculations in randomised controlled trial (RCT) publications on the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: A sample of 97 RCTs published between 2004 and 2014 was reviewed for the calculation of their sample size. It was examined whether a (complete) description of the sample size calculation was presented.

Hydralazine and nitrate combination was the first treatment that showed improved survival of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFREF) in the Vasodilator Heart Failure Trial (V-HeFT trial) in 1986. This showed a 34% reduction of mortality at 2 years of follow-up in patients with advanced heart failure (New York Heart Association Class IV). The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), beta-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and most recently sacubitril-valsartan have superseded the combination of hydralazine and nitrates.

Synopsis: Desmoid tumors can be safely managed with watchful waiting, including either observation alone or tamoxifen/NSAIDs. Surgery at first presentation can be associated with significant treatment burden.
Background: Immediate surgery was historically recommended for desmoid tumors.
