According to Moscow city Oncological Dispensary, the number of patients with malignant neoplasms of ENT organs has increased during the last 5 years. In 79-84% of the patients the diseases is diagnosed at stage III-V which leads to rather poor results of treatment. Results of analysis of causes for late diagnosis of ENT neoplasms point out to the necessity to raise oncologic alertness among ambulatory physicians. Up-to-date methods of early diagnosis of oncological diseases of ENT organs are discussed.

TP53 germline testing and hereditary cancer: how somatic events and clinical criteria affect variant detection rate.
Genome Med
January 2025
Hereditary Cancer Group, Oncobell Program, Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL), Av. Gran Via 199-203, L'Hospitalet del Llobregat, 08908, Spain.
Background: Germline heterozygous pathogenic variants (PVs) in TP53 cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a condition associated with increased risk of multiple tumor types. As the associated cancer risks were refined over time, clinical criteria also evolved to optimize diagnostic yield. The implementation of multi-gene panel germline testing in different clinical settings has led to the identification of TP53 PV carriers outside the classic LFS-associated cancer phenotypes, leading to a broader cancer phenotypic redefinition and to the renaming of the condition as "heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome" (hTP53rc).

J Med Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, University Children Hospital, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: Poikiloderma with neutropenia is a rare genetic disorder primarily characterized by the presence of poikiloderma and congenital chronic neutropenia. Mutations in the C16orf57 gene, which encodes the USB1 protein, are implicated as the underlying cause of poikiloderma with neutropenia.
Case Presentation: Our patient, an 11-year-old Syrian male child who presented with poikiloderma, palmoplantar keratoderma, pachyonychia, recurrent infections, and neutropenia, is considered to be the first documented case in Syria.
Exploring the barriers to cervical screening and perspectives on new self-sampling methods amongst under-served groups.
BMC Health Serv Res
January 2025
NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration, Centre for Primary Care & Health Services Research, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health, The University of Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK.
Background: Cervical screening rates have fallen in recent years in the UK, representing a health inequity for some under-served groups. Self-sampling alternatives to cervical screening may be useful where certain barriers prohibit access to routine cervical screening. However, there is limited evidence on whether self-sampling methods address known barriers to cervical screening and subsequently increase uptake amongst under-screened groups.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Collage of Medicine and Health Science, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia.
Background: In developing countries evidences regarding pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients are lacking, despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, identifying the factors that influence PH is crucial to improve the quality of care.
Objective: To determine prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and its associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients at the public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.
2-[F]Fluoropropionic Acid PET Imaging of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity.
Mol Imaging Biol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Weill Cornell Medicine, 413 E 69th Street, Room BB-1604, New York, NY, 10021, USA.
Purpose: Treatment of pediatric cancers with doxorubicin is a common and predictable cause of cardiomyopathy. Early diagnosis of treatment-induced cardiotoxicity and intervention are major determinants for the prevention of advanced disease. The onset of cardiomyopathies is often accompanied by profound changes in lipid metabolism, including an enhanced uptake of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).
