Despite great progress in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), especially with the development of increasingly effective invasive techniques for AF ablation, many unanswered questions remain regarding the pathogenic mechanism of the arrhythmia and its prevention methods. The development of AF is based on anatomical and functional alterations in the cardiomyocyte resulting from altered ionic fluxes and cardiomyocyte electrophysiology. Electric instability and electrical remodeling underlying the arrhythmia may result from oxidative stress, also caused by possible mitochondrial dysfunction.

Platelets, which are vital for blood clotting and immunity, need to maintain a delicately balanced relationship between generation and destruction. Recent studies have highlighted that reactive oxygen species (ROS), which act as second messengers in crucial signaling pathways, are crucial players in this dance. This review explores the intricate connection between ROS and platelets, highlighting their dual nature.

Advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) has a dismal prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 10%. Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the backbone of the first-line treatment of aUC for over 40 years. Only in the last decade, the treatment of aUC has evolved and been enriched with new classes of drugs that demonstrated pivotal improvements in terms of oncological responses and, ultimately, survival.

Background: Non-metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a challenging scenario: the rarity of the disease, the limited number of completed prospective trials, and the shortcomings of comparability across series produce several controversial topics and unanswered questions. Guideline recommendations usually include all the different therapeutic options, de facto transferring to the multidisciplinary team the responsibility on the final decision. This secondary analysis of the GARIBALDI study was aimed to explore the correlation of center type, self-declared volume, and commitment with the overall survival (OS) in patients with non-metastatic PDAC.

Psychosis in children and adolescents has been studied on a spectrum from (common) psychotic experiences to (rare) early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders. This research review looks at the state-of-the-art for research across the psychosis spectrum, from evidence on psychotic experiences in community and clinical samples of children and adolescents to findings from psychosis risk syndrome research, to evidence on early-onset psychotic disorders. The review also looks at new opportunities to capture psychosis risk in childhood and adolescence, including opportunities for early intervention, identifies important unanswered questions, and points to future directions for prevention research.
