Emergence of Circulating Tumor DNA as a Precision Biomarker in Lung Cancer Radiation Oncology and Beyond.
Hematol Oncol Clin North Am

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is emerging as a transformative biomarker in the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This review focuses on its role in detecting minimal residual disease (MRD), predicting treatment response, and guiding therapeutic decision-making in radiation oncology and immunotherapy. Key studies demonstrate ctDNA's prognostic value, particularly in identifying relapse risk and refining patient stratification for curative-intent and consolidative treatments.

Introduction: Despite recommendations from the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) coverage remains low in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Community health workers (CHWs) can play an important role in expanding ANC coverage through pregnancy identification, provision of health education, screening for complications, delivery of therapeutic care and referral to higher levels of care. However, despite the success of CHW programmes in various countries, WHO has called for additional research to develop evidence-based models that optimise CHW service delivery and that can be replicated across geographies.

This review highlights the crucial role of neuroelectrophysiology in illuminating the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and progression, emphasizing its potential to inform the development of effective treatments. Electrophysiological techniques provide unparalleled precision in exploring the intricate networks affected by AD, offering insights into the synaptic dysfunction, network alterations, and oscillatory abnormalities that characterize the disease. We discuss a range of electrophysiological methods, from non-invasive clinical techniques like electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography to invasive recordings in animal models.

The expansion of glutamine residue track (polyQ) within soluble proteins (Q proteins) is responsible for nine autosomal-dominant genetic neurodegenerative disorders. These disorders develop when polyQ expansion exceeds a specific pathogenic threshold (Q) which is unique for each disease. However, the pathogenic mechanisms associated with the variability of Q within the family of Q proteins are poorly understood.

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Background: The regulatory role of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele in the clinical manifestations of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the APOE ε4 allele on cognitive and motor functions in SCA3 patients.
Methods: This study included 281 unrelated SCA3 patients and 182 controls.
