Objective: Evaluate the impact of radiotherapy on cause specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) for stage (I-III) clear cell, mucinous, and endometriod ovarian cancer.
Methods: We analyzed incidence, survival, and treatments from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program from 2004 to 2011 for clear cell, mucinous, and endometriod histologies of the ovary for stages (I-III). We examined CSS and OS for all three histologies combined and each histology with relation to the use of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT). Survival analysis was calculated by Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analysis.
Results: CSS was higher in individuals not receiving RT at 5 years (81% vs. 74%) and 10 years (74% vs. 65%, p=0.003). OS was higher in individuals not receiving RT at 5 years (76% vs. 73%) and 10 years (64% vs. 59%, p=0.039). Stage III patients receiving RT had a higher OS at 5 years (54% vs. 44%) and 10 year intervals (36% vs. 30%, p=0.037). Stage III patients with mucinous histology receiving RT had a higher OS at 5 years (50% vs. 36%) and 10 years (45% vs. 26%, p=0.052).
Conclusion: Those receiving RT had a lower CSS and OS at 5 and 10 years. However, subgroup analysis revealed a benefit of RT in terms of OS for all stage III patients and for stage III patients with mucinous histology.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of preoperative prealbumin levels on long-term survival outcomes after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC) dichotomized based on age.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary stage I-III GC between May 2006 and March 2017. Patients were allocated to groups based on age (≥ 70 or < 70 years) and subgroups based on prealbumin levels (high, ≥ 22 mg/dL; moderate, 15-22 mg/dL; or low, < 15 mg/dL), and multivariate Cox regression was used for survival analyses.

Introduction: Toxocarosis in human beings is currently diagnosed by serological assay based on the detection of antibodies against Toxocara antigens. Toxocara canis larvae do not reach the adult stage in paratenic hosts like humans and mice. Therefore experimental infection in mice, which mimics the biology of human infection, might be relevant to get a better understanding of human toxocarosis.

Two main stages are differentiated in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD), one compensated (cACLD) with an excellent prognosis, and the other decompensated (dACLD), defined by the appearance of complications (ascites, variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy) and associated with high mortality. Preventing the progression to dACLD might dramatically improve prognosis and reduce the burden of care associated with ACLD. Portal hypertension is a major driver of the transition from cACLD to dACLD, and a portal pressure of ≥10 mmHg defines clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) as the threshold from which decompensating events may occur.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) covers a broad spectrum of profile from simple fatty liver, evolving to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), to hepatic fibrosis, further progressing to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MASLD has become a prevalent disease with 25% in average over the world. MASH is an active stage, and requires pharmacological intervention when there is necroptotic damage with fibrotic progression.
