Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between left atrial (LA) cardiomyopathy and premature atrial contractions (PACs) in individuals with severe obesity, aiming to improve understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) risk.
- The research involved 192 obese subjects and 50 non-obese controls, using methods like Holter monitoring and echocardiography to analyze heart health.
- Results showed that larger LA size correlated with more PACs in the obese group, but no AF was detected, suggesting a need for better screening methods incorporating LA health in this population.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in nasopharyngeal cancer patients after chemoradiation, focusing on those with complete and partial metabolic responses as measured by PET/CT scans.
- - Results indicated that patients with a complete metabolic response had significantly better DFS (60.157 months) compared to the PFS of those with partial response (8.145 months), with certain factors like SUVmax and tumor size being linked to poorer outcomes.
- - Key findings showed 84% of responders experienced DFS with a low recurrence rate, while non-responders had more disease progression, and no significant predictors for PFS were identified among non-responders.

Background: For the initial staging of breast cancer (BC), 18FDG PET/CT is recommended by professional guidelines in stage III (except T3N1) and inflammatory BC (T4d) and optional when conventional imaging is equivocal or suspicious. However, growing evidence also supports its role in the staging of intermediate-risk groups (IIA, IIB, T3N1 of IA). This study aimed to compare the impact of 18FDG PET/CT with conventional imaging (CT-chest+abdomen+pelvis and bone scan; CT-CAP+BS) in staging, cost-effectiveness, and radiation exposure in the initial staging of BC.

Culturally appropriate research frameworks are needed for investigating Pacific well-being. This study expands on existing Pacific methodologies and presents a well-being research framework by studying the Niue community. Traditional storytelling or talanoa methodology, referred to as tala in the Niue context, was used to explore and understand the lived experiences of well-being from Niue elders.
