An operationalized workflow paradigm is presented and validated with pilot subject data. This approach is reproducible with a high concordance rate between individual readers (kappa 0.73 [confidence interval 0.59-0.87; =<0.0001]) using a 5-point scale to assess [F] labeled fluorodeoxyglucose metabolic activity in lymphomatous lesions. These results suggest an operationally practical 5-point scale workflow paradigm for potential use in larger clinical trials evaluating lymphoma therapeutics.

Background: Preliminary data suggest promising activity of loncastuximab tesirine in follicular lymphoma, and synergistic activity between rituximab-induced cytotoxicity and loncastuximab tesirine. In this study, we evaluated loncastuximab tesirine combined with rituximab for second-line and later treatment of follicular lymphoma.

Methods: We did a single-arm, investigator-initiated, phase 2 trial at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami, FL, USA.

Background And Objective: Hypertension (HTN) has been linked to an elevated risk of prostate cancer (PC) development and poorer prognosis in localized cases, and is a common side effect of hormonal PC treatments. However, its relationship with the prognosis of metastatic PC is still unclear. We assessed the prognostic role of treatment-related HTN in patients with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive PC (mHSPC) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or in combination with docetaxel or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs).

Background: The rising prevalence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in young adults, particularly with undetermined pathogenesis, is a growing concern. This study assessed risk factors, treatments, and outcomes between young AIS patients with undetermined and determined pathogeneses.

Methods And Results: This was a retrospective cohort study including AIS patients aged 18 to 55 years in Switzerland, treated between 2014 and 2022.

Background: Maintaining physical activity throughout life is crucial for overall health and wellbeing. Yet the age-related decline in average physical activity, a natural phenomenon also observed in animals, poses a challenge. This study aimed to investigate whether participation in organised sports supported by the Swiss Youth+Sports (Y+S) programme is associated with sustaining or enhancing physical activity among children and adolescents during 5 years of follow-up.

Background And Objectives: Chronic breathlessness is a frequent diagnostic challenge in primary care. Our aim is to evaluate the feasibility of a stepwise breathlessness diagnostic algorithm for primary care.

Method: This mixed-methods study included: (1) a general practitioner (GP) nominal group technique study; (2) focus groups on GPs' views on the algorithm; and (3) analysis of algorithm alignment against patterns of diagnostic referrals and diagnoses of breathlessness presentations (2014-19) from the MedicineInsight primary care electronic health record (EHR) dataset of 1,961,264 patients (405 general practice sites).
