Purpose: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma that develops sporadically or in Neurofibromatosis type 1 patients. Its development is marked by the inactivation of specific tumor suppressor genes (TSGs): NF1, CDKN2A and SUZ12EED (Polycomb Repressor Complex 2). Each TSG loss can be targeted by particular drug inhibitors and we aimed to systematically combine these inhibitors, guided by TSG inactivation status, to test their precision medicine potential for MPNSTs.

Background: In Chile, the cases of cognitive impairment and dementia are on the rise and are expected to triple by 2050. Additionally, older adults face life changes that may contribute to depression onset. We studied the relationship between cognitive impairment (CI), functional decline (FD) and depression with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular event mortality in the Chilean population aged ≥60 years.

Background: In the last years, the Cor-Knot device has been increasingly used in heart valve surgery. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of valvular complications in patients who underwent valvular surgery using the Cor-Knot device in multicentric cohorts at one-year follow-up.
Methods: Three hundred and sixty-eight patient underwent heart valve repair or replacement surgery using automated titanium suture fasteners in four cardiothoracic surgery departments between September 2018 and January 2020.

Background: APOE4 leads to increased neuroinflammation, neurocognitive decline, increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, and may be associated with increased delirium risk. However, the safety and feasibility of pharmacologic modulation of APOE to prevent neuroinflammation and postoperative delirium is unclear.
Methods: We performed a Phase II, triple blind, escalating dose, randomized controlled trial to determine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of the APOE mimetic peptide CN-105 for preventing postoperative neuroinflammation and delirium.
