Association of Weight-Bearing Activity and Prognosis of Plantar Melanoma: An Unanticipated Perspective.
Ann Surg Oncol

Department of Plastic Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: In the development of plantar melanoma, it is suspected that mechanical stress caused by weight-bearing activities, such as walking, rather than ultraviolet exposure, may play a significant role, showing a concentrated prevalence in areas of the foot where weight-bearing actions are prevalent. However, research investigating whether such mechanical stress influences disease prognosis has been limited. This study was designed to investigate the association between weight-bearing activity and the oncologic outcomes of patients with plantar melanoma.

Article Synopsis
- * The ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan is the best imaging method for detecting CTEPH because it is more sensitive than CT pulmonary angiography, though its results may differ from those seen in acute PE cases.
- * Recent advancements show that combining V/Q scans with SPECT or SPECT/CT improves diagnostic accuracy, which helps in early detection and better treatment outcomes for patients with CTEPH.
Telerehabilitation using a 2-D planar arm rehabilitation robot for hemiparetic stroke: a feasibility study of clinic-to-home exergaming therapy.

Articares Pte Ltd, 67, Ayer Rajah Crescent, #07-11/12, Singapore, 139950, Singapore.
Background: We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a 2D-planar robot for minimally supervised home-based upper-limb therapy for post-stroke hemiparesis.
Methods: The H-Man, end effector robot, combined with web-based software application for remote tele-monitoring were evaluated at homes of participants. Inclusion criteria were: strokes > 28 days, Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA) > 10-60/66, presence of a carer and absence of medical contraindications.
Prognostic implication of DPD quantification in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

November 2024
Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine II, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Aims: Quantification of cardiac [99mTc]-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) uptake enhances diagnostic capabilities and may facilitate prognostic stratification in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). This study aimed to evaluate the association of quantitative left ventricular (LV) DPD uptake with myocardial structure and function, and their implications on outcome in ATTR-CA.
Methods And Results: Consecutive ATTR-CA patients (n=100) undergoing planar DPD scintigraphy with Perugini grade 2 or 3, alongside quantitative DPD SPECT/CT imaging and speckle-tracking echocardiography between 2019 and 2023, were included and divided into two cohorts based on median DPD retention index (low DPD uptake: ≤5.
The Utility of Baseline Characteristics and [I]MIBG Cardiac Adrenergic System Scintigraphy in Qualifying Patients with Post-Infarction Heart Failure for Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Placement.
J Clin Med

Department of Congenital Heart Diseases, National Institute of Cardiology, 04-628 Warsaw, Poland.
Post-infarction heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients often face persistent risks of sudden cardiac arrest leading to sudden cardiac death. While implanting a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can enhance prognosis, complications and costs limit its widespread use. Current patient qualification criteria, relying on imperfect parameters, require refinement.
