Introduction: Elacestrant has shown significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to standard-of-care endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive), HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC), while potential benefit in early-stage disease requires further exploration. The SOLTI-ELIPSE window-of-opportunity trial investigated the biological changes induced by a short course of preoperative elacestrant in postmenopausal women with early BC.
Methods: Eligible patients with untreated T1c (≥1.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy combined with programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor (sintilimab) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) plus sintilimab, and subsequent maintenance with sintilimab (IC-ICCRT-IO) for patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a retrospective study.
Methods: Data from patients with histologically confirmed, locally advanced, inoperable ESCC who received IC-ICCRT-IO were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment effects were evaluated after 2 cycles of induction therapy and after CCRT by contrast-enhanced CT scans and esophagograms, followed by subsequent evaluations every 3 months post-treatment.

Background: Ecthyma is a deeper form of impetigo involving the epidermis and dermis causing ulcerative plaques. Pathogens commonly responsible for the disease (group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus) typically afflicts children, presenting during early stages with skin lesions that can closely resemble other vesicular and ulcerative dermatoses, such as those observed in mpox infection. The ongoing global outbreak of monkeypox has escalated the urgency for clinicians to accurately differentiate between these conditions due to their overlapping dermatological manifestations.
