Addition of pembrolizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab improved outcomes in patients with high-risk, early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer. However, whether the addition of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab to chemotherapy would improve outcomes in high-risk, early-stage, estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER/HER2) breast cancer remains unclear. We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study (KEYNOTE-756) in which patients with previously untreated ER/HER2 grade 3 high-risk invasive breast cancer (T1c-2 (≥2 cm), cN1-2 or T3-4, cN0-2) were randomly assigned (1:1) to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg or placebo Q3W given with paclitaxel QW for 12 weeks, followed by four cycles of doxorubicin or epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide Q2W or Q3W.

This study introduces a novel method for fabricating multicavity, honeycomb-shaped collagen aerogels characterized by continuous pores. We have taken a unique approach to lyophilizing collagen hydrogels, which are UV-irradiated collagen solutions gelatinized in a carbonate buffer solution. The focus of this study was to investigate the effect of UV irradiation times on collagen solutions on collagen hydrogels and aerogels.

We report a rare case of rupture without bleeding secondary to endotension after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. An 82-year-old woman had undergone multiple thoracic endovascular aortic repairs for a distal arch aneurysm. Due to the aneurysm enlargement, stent graft was eventually placed from the ascending aorta to just above the celiac artery after axillo-axillo-common carotid artery bypass.
