A family-based behavioral group obesity randomized control feasibility trial across a clinical trials network: a focus on contact hours.
J Pediatr Psychol
January 2025
Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, United States.
Objective: This ancillary study's purpose is to describe the relationship between dose of treatment and body mass index (BMI) outcomes in a tele-behavioral health program delivered in the IDeA States Pediatric Clinical Trials Network to children and their families living in rural communities.
Methods: Participants randomized to the intervention were able to receive 26 contact hours (15 hr of group sessions and 11 hr of individual sessions) of material focused on nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral caregiver training delivered via interactive televideo. Dose of the intervention received by child/caregiver dyads (n = 52) from rural areas was measured as contact hours.
A Comparison of Different Machine Learning Classifiers in Predicting Xerostomia and Sticky Saliva due to Head and Neck Radiotherapy using a Multi-objective, Multimodal Radiomics Model.
Biomed Phys Eng Express
January 2025
Radiation Oncology, Emory University, Emory Midtown Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia, 30322, UNITED STATES.
Although radiotherapy techniques are the primary treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC), they are still associated with substantial toxicity, and side effect. Machine learning (ML) based radiomics models for predicting toxicity mostly rely on features extracted from pre-treatment imaging data. This study aims to compare different models in predicting radiation-induced xerostomia and sticky saliva in both early and late stage of HNC patients using CT and MRI image features along with demographics and dosimetric information.

Serviço de Arritmia Cardíaca, Hospital SOS Cardio, Florianópolis, SC - Brasil.
Background: Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with catheter ablation (CA) has evolved significantly. However, real-world data on long-term outcomes are limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Objective: This multicenter prospective cohort of consecutive patients aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-time CA for AF in Southern Brazil from 2009 to 2024.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF GASTRIC CANCER: A 3-YEAR ANALYSIS.
Arq Bras Cir Dig
January 2025
Universidade de São Paulo, Faculdade de Medicina, Hospital das Clínicas, Department of Gastroenterology - São Paulo (SP), Brazil.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has overloaded healthcare systems worldwide. Other diseases, such as neoplasms, including gastric cancer, remained prevalent and had their treatment compromised.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the treatment of gastric cancer and adherence to the recommended preoperative COVID-19 screening protocol.
MELANOMAS, SARCOMAS, AND RENAL METASTASES IN THE LIVER: HOW TO TREAT?
Arq Bras Cir Dig

D'Or Institute for Research and Education, Digestive Surgery Residency Program - Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil.
Liver metastases from melanomas, sarcomas, and renal tumors are less frequent. Treatment and prognosis will depend on whether they are isolated or multiple, size and location, the presence or absence of extrahepatic neoplastic disease, age, stage of the initial disease, initial treatments instituted, time of evolution, and clinical condition of the patient. Recently, a high number of oncological therapies including monotherapy or in combination, neoadjuvants or adjuvants, and immuno-oncological treatments have been developed and tested, increasing disease-free time and survival.
