Purpose: The prognostic and predictive value of intrinsic subtypes in hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer treated with endocrine therapy and ribociclib (RIB) is currently unknown. We evaluated the association of intrinsic subtypes with progression-free survival (PFS) in the MONALEESA trials.
Methods: A retrospective and exploratory PAM50-based analysis of tumor samples from the phase III MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, and MONALEESA-7 trials was undertaken. The prognostic relationship of PAM50-based subtypes with PFS and risk of disease progression by subtype and treatment were evaluated using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, adjusting for age, prior chemotherapy, performance status, visceral disease, bone-only metastases, histological grade, number of metastatic sites, prior endocrine therapy, and de novo metastatic disease.
Results: Overall, 1,160 tumors from the RIB (n = 672) and placebo (n = 488) cohorts were robustly profiled. Subtype distribution was luminal A (LumA), 46.7%; luminal B (LumB), 24.0%; normal-like, 14.0%; HER2-enriched (HER2E), 12.7%; and basal-like, 2.6% and was generally consistent across treatment arms and trials. The associations between subtypes and PFS were statistically significant in both arms ( < .001). The risks of disease progression for LumB, HER2E, and basal-like subtypes were 1.44, 2.31, and 3.96 times higher compared with those for LumA, respectively. All subtypes except basal-like demonstrated significant PFS benefit with RIB. HER2E (hazard ratio [HR], 0.39; < .0001), LumB (HR, 0.52; < .0001), LumA (HR, 0.63; = .0007), and normal-like (HR, 0.47; = .0005) subtypes derived benefit from RIB. Patients with basal-like subtype (n = 30) did not derive benefit from RIB (HR, 1.15; = .77).
Conclusion: In this retrospective exploratory analysis of hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer, each intrinsic subtype exhibited a consistent PFS benefit with RIB, except for basal-like.

Context: Medical students report high levels of perceived stress and burnout, especially during the preclinical years. The combination of physical stressors from poor posture, poor sleep quality, and mental stressors from the rigorous curriculum stimulates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to secrete cortisol. Previous studies have shown that persistent elevated cortisol levels are associated with negative health outcomes.

A 61-year-old man in critical condition was admitted to the resuscitation room in the emergency department, presenting with chest pain and shortness of breath. His medical history included recent treatment with oral antibiotics for pneumonia, long-standing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a 40-pack-year smoking history, and a left popliteal artery embolus. He was also on chronic medications, including apixaban and aspirin.

The effects of supplemental Zn within steroidal implant strategy on performance, carcass characteristics, trace mineral status, and muscle gene expression were tested in a 59-d study using 128 Angus-crossbred steers (492 ± 29 kg) in a 2 × 4 complete randomized design. Implant strategies included no implant (NoIMP) or Component TE-200 (TE200; Elanco, Greenfield, IN) administered on day 0. Zinc was supplemented at 0, 30, 100, or 150 mg Zn/kg dry matter (Zn0, Zn30, Zn100, Zn150, respectively) from ZnSO4.

Background: Previous studies have shown that patients with rib fractures experience long-term functional limitations. However, the specific predictors of these worse long-term functional limitations remain under-characterized.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including patients ≥18 years with an injury severity score ≥9 and isolated chest injury.
