Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is characterized by an increased risk of diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer, and is caused by pathogenic germline variants of E-cadherin and -E-catenin, which are key regulators of cell-cell adhesion. However, how the loss of cell-cell adhesion promotes cell dissemination remains to be fully understood. Therefore, a three-dimensional computer model was developed to describe the initial steps of diffuse gastric cancer development.

Background And Objectives: The Royal Australian College of General Practice recommends that all women contemplating pregnancy or in early pregnancy should be offered reproductive genetic carrier screening (RGCS). In November 2023, a new Medicare item number was introduced for RGCS to detect cystic fibrosis (CF), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and fragile X syndrome (FXS) carrier status. The role of general practice in offering RGCS is recognised as being of crucial importance, but only a minority of general practitioners (GPs) are offering such screening.

Article Synopsis
  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like tofacitinib (TCB) are effective in treating psoriasis, and this study aims to enhance TCB's effectiveness while minimizing side effects through a new topical emulgel formulation.
  • The emulgel was created by combining TCB with various ingredients, resulting in a formulation with ideal viscosity, firmness, and controlled release of the drug over 24 hours.
  • The new TCB-emulgel showed significantly improved anti-psoriatic effects in a mouse model, reducing psoriasis severity scores and inflammation markers compared to existing treatments, supporting its potential for clinical use in managing psoriasis.

Limited data exists concerning the post lung transplantation outcomes of patients diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We delineate the clinical trajectories and outcomes for 3 patients with MDS and Short Telomere Syndrome (STS) who underwent lung transplantation. Our findings suggest that patients with STS and low-risk MDS, especially those harboring the SF3B1 mutation, tolerated standard immunosuppression and antimicrobial prophylaxis well without significant deviation from a typical post-transplant course.
