Background: The American Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR), American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR), and North American Spine Society (NASS) published a consensus paper with recommendations for lumbar disc nomenclature reports in 2014. We aimed to evaluate the degree of adoption in our radiology department of the ASSR, ASNR, and NASS 2.0 lumbar spine consensus paper using natural language processing (NLP).

Background: The influence of the gut microbiota on long-term immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is poorly understood, as are the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: We performed gut metagenome and metabolome sequencing of gut microbiotas from patients with lung cancer initially treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and explored the underlying mechanisms mediating long-term (median follow-up 1167 days) ICI responses and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Results were validated in external, publicly-available datasets (Routy, Lee, and McCulloch cohorts).

The quality assurance provided by preimplantation biopsy quantification of chronic damage may allow greater use of kidneys from expanded criteria donors, and thereby expand the deceased donor pool. Preimplantation biopsy may, however, identify additional acute or chronic pathologies not considered in the scoring of chronic damage, and these may influence the decision to implant or discard the kidney. This single-centre retrospective cohort study of a contemporary UK donor population systematically characterised the nature of additional findings in 1,046 preimplantation and implantation biopsies over an eight-year period.
