Purpose: The treatment of oligodendroglioma consists of tumor resection and radiochemotherapy. The timing of radiochemotherapy remains unclear, and predictive biomarkers are limited.
Experimental Design: Adult patients diagnosed with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutated, 1p/19q-codeleted CNS WHO grade 2 and 3 oligodendroglioma at the Medical University of Vienna and the Kepler University Hospital Linz (Austria) in 1992 to 2019 were included. Progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between early postoperative treatment and initial observation were compared using propensity score-weighted Cox regression models. DNA methylation analysis of tumor tissue was performed using Illumina MethylationEPIC 850k microarrays.
Results: One hundred thirty-one out of 201 (65.2%) patients with CNS WHO grade 2 and 70 of 201 (34.8%) with grade 3 oligodendroglioma were identified. Eighty-three of 201 (41.3%) patients underwent early postoperative treatment, of whom 56 of 83 (67.5%) received radiochemotherapy, 15 of 84 (18.1%) radiotherapy (RT) only and 12 of 83 (14.5%) chemotherapy only. Temozolomide-based treatment was administered to 64 of 68 (94.1%) patients, whereas RT + procarbazine, lomustine (CCNU), and vincristine (PCV) were applied in 2 of 69 (3.5%) patients. Early treatment was not associated with PFS [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.74; 95% CI, 0.33-1.65, P = 0.459] or OS (adjusted HR: 2.07; 95% CI, 0.52-8.21, P = 0.302) improvement. Unsupervised clustering analysis of DNA methylation profiles from patients receiving early treatment revealed two methylation clusters correlating with PFS, whereas no association of clustering with O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation, CNS WHO grade, extent of resection, and treating center could be observed.
Conclusions: In this retrospective study, early postoperative treatment was not associated with improved PFS/OS in oligodendroglioma. The potentially predictive value of whole-genome methylation profiling should be validated in prospective trials.

Combining systemic inflammation biomarkers with traditional prognostic factors to predict surgical site infections in elderly hip fracture patients: a risk factor analysis and dynamic nomogram development.

Background: Systemic inflammation biomarkers have been widely shown to be associated with infection. This study aimed to construct a nomogram based on systemic inflammation biomarkers and traditional prognostic factors to assess the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) after hip fracture in the elderly.
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients over 60 with acute hip fractures who underwent surgery and were followed for more than 12 months between June 2017 and June 2022 at a tertiary referral hospital.
A finite element analysis to assess tibial bone fracture in malleolar regions following total ankle replacement: Influences of implant designs and implant-bone interfacial conditions.

Background: Tibial bone fractures in the malleolar regions are a major concern during the early postoperative period of total ankle replacement (TAR), affecting patient outcomes such as stability and recovery. Design, placement, and anatomic misalignment of implant components can contribute to malleolar fractures. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of implant design features, including keel, peg, stem, and bar type design, and bone-implant interfacial conditions on malleolar fracture following TAR.

Background: Accurate estimation of recurrence risk for cervical cancer plays a pivot role in making individualized treatment plans. We aimed to develop and externally validate an end-to-end deep learning model for predicting recurrence risk in cervical cancer patients following surgery by using multiparametric MRI images.
Methods: The clinicopathologic data and multiparametric MRI images of 406 cervical cancer patients from three institutions were collected.

Objectives: To investigate through a meta-analysis of comparative studies the impact of donor type (brain death DBD vs circulatory death DCD) on the short- and long-term outcomes of lung transplantation(LTx).
Methods: Literature search (terms "lung transplantation" AND "donation after circulatory death") was performed up to July 2022 and studies comparing outcomes of LTx from DCD versus DBD were selected. Primary endpoints were early and long-term mortality.
