Background: Although an advantage of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is eradication of axillary disease, nodal pCR rates are much lower for ER+/HER2- breast cancer than other subtypes. We sought to evaluate the association of genomic risk with nodal pCR in ER+/HER2- disease.
Methods: Patients with ER+/HER2- clinically-node-positive (cT0-cT4d/cN1-cN3/cM0) breast cancer treated with NAC and surgery 2010-2018 in the National Cancer Database were identified. Low genomic risk was classified as Oncotype Dx Recurrence Score (RS) 0-25, or Mammaprint 70-gene or RS coded as "Low." High genomic risk included RS >25, or 70-gene or RS coded as "High." Nodal pCR was compared between patients with high versus low genomic risk by using chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression.
Results: Of 15,698 patients, genomic risk was available for 692 of 15,698 (4.4%). High genomic risk was similar between patients aged <50 years versus 50+ (50.8% vs. 57.3%, p = 0.10). Nodal pCR was higher in high genomic risk (25.0%) than low genomic risk (10.4%, p < 0.001). This difference was observed both for patients aged <50 years (29.9% vs. 9.8%) and aged ≥50 years (22.7% vs. 10.8%). On multivariable analysis adjusted for potential confounding variables, including age, grade, and PR status, genomic risk was independently associated with decreased odds of residual nodal disease (odds ratio 0.49, p = 0.002).
Conclusions: For patients with node-positive ER+/HER2- breast cancer treated with NAC, nodal pCR was highest in patients aged <50 years with high genomic risk tumors. In contrast, nodal pCR rates were low in patients with low genomic risk tumors, regardless of age. This information may help when counseling patients regarding axillary management.

Genes encoding OXA-48-like carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes are often located on plasmids and are abundant among carbapenemase-producing (CPE) worldwide. After a large plasmid-mediated outbreak in 2011, routine screening of patients at risk of CPE carriage on admission and every 7 days during hospitalization was implemented in a large hospital in the Netherlands. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of the hospitals' 2011 outbreak-associated plasmid among CPE collected from 2011 to 2021.

Background: Brain intraparenchymal schwannoma is a rare clinical entity, generally curable with adequate resection.
Methods And Results: We describe a case in a male patient first presenting at 19 months of age, the youngest reported age for this lesion. It also appears to be the first case connected to a germline TSC2 p.

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) and other tic disorders (TDs) have a substantial genetic component with their heritability estimated at between 60 and 80%. Here we propose an oligogenic risk score of TDs using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from a group of Polish GTS patients, their families, and control samples (n = 278). In this study, we first reviewed the literature to obtain a preliminary list of 84 GTS/TD candidate genes.

A major risk to the poultry industry is antimicrobial resistance (AMR), specifically with regard to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infections. The sensitivity patterns of 100 MG isolates to biocides and antibiotics were examined in this study to clarify the interactions between antimicrobial agents and resistance mechanisms. The antimicrobial activity against MG was assessed using broth microdilution, and the results are shown as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for each strain, the MIC distribution (range), the MIC, and/or the MIC.

The emergence of carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) poses a significant public health threat, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with limited surveillance and treatment options. This study examines the genetic diversity, resistance patterns, and transmission dynamics of 66 CRKP isolates recovered over 5 years (2015-2019) after the first case of CRKP was identified at a tertiary care hospital in Lima, Peru. Our findings reveal a shift from to as the dominant carbapenemase gene after 2017.
