Health-related quality of life is increasingly becoming an important end point in cancer research. Until recently, relatively little was known about the health-related quality of life of glioblastoma multiforme patients. This is due to the relative scarcity of this disease compared with other cancers and its dismal prognosis. Now, there is progress in the treatment of this tumor: new (combination) treatments will be studied in randomized trials and health-related quality will be incorporated as a (secondary) end point next to progression-free survival. Glioblastoma multiforme patient health-related quality of life may also have prognostic significance and may, therefore, be used with the individual patient to tailor treatment. This review aims to chart the history of glioblastoma multiforme and treatment, reporting on the latest health-related quality of life tools and research findings.

A randomized trial of low-dose thrombolysis, ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis, or heparin for intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism-the STRATIFY trial: design and statistical analysis plan.

Department of Cardiology, The Heart Centre, Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE) carries a significant risk of hemodynamic deterioration or death. Treatment should balance efficacy in reducing clot burden with the risk of complications, particularly bleeding. Previous studies on high-dose, short-term thrombolysis with alteplase (rtPA) showed a reduced risk of hemodynamic deterioration but no change in mortality and increased bleeding complications.

Laboratory of Human Milk and Lactation Research, Department of Medical Biology, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland.
Introduction: Donor human milk (DHM) is the first alternative if mother's own milk is unavailable or contraindicated. Much DHM research has focused on its nutritional, immunological and biochemical composition in response to various maternal variables, standard human milk banking procedures and storage protocols. The current systematic review protocol, however, aims to systematically gather and analyse existing data pertaining to the impact of these aforementioned factors on the clinical, health-related and developmental outcomes observed in infants fed with DHM.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of perioperative testosterone supplementation on orthopedic surgical outcomes.
Methods: Three online databases were searched from database inception until September 2024. Three reviewers independently screened all titles, abstracts, and full-texts of articles investigating perioperative testosterone use in orthopedic surgery.
Comparison of self-perception in relation to the normative need for orthodontic treatment in a population of dental students in Brazil: A cross-sectional study.

December 2024
Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ 21941-617, Brazil.
Introduction: This study aimed to identify predictive factors of having a positive or negatively divergent self-perception from the normative orthodontic treatment need (N-OTN).
Methods: All eligible undergraduate students from the School of Dentistry of the XXX were recruited through convenience sampling. They were clinically evaluated to determine their N-OTN using the IOTN and were asked about their self-perceived orthodontic treatment need (S-OTN) using the same scale for both evaluations.
