Background: Synchronous para-aortic lymph node metastasis (PALNM) in colorectal cancer (CRC) is a relatively rare clinical entity. There is a lack of consensus on management of these patients, and the role of para-aortic lymph node dissection (PALND) remains controversial. This systematic review aims to describe the survival outcomes in colorectal cancer with synchronous PALNM when lymph node dissection is performed.
Methods: A systematic review of Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science databases for PALND in CRC was performed. Studies including patients with synchronous PALNM undergoing resection with curative intent, published from the year 2000 onwards, were included.
Results: Twelve retrospective studies were included. Four studies reported survival outcomes for rectal cancer, two for colon cancer and six as colorectal. Survival outcomes for 356 patients were included. Average 5-year overall survival (OS) was 22.4%, 33.9% and 37.7% in the rectal, colon and colorectal groups respectively. Three year OS in the groups was 53.6%, 46.2% and 65.7%.
Conclusion: There remains a lack of quality data to confidently make recommendations regarding the management of synchronous PALNM in colon and rectal cancer cohorts. Retrospective data suggests a benefit in highly selective cohorts and therefore a case-by-case evaluation remains the standard of care.

Background And Hypothesis: Unlike X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome, no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has yet been demonstrated in patients carrying a single variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Methods: We carried out a multicenter retrospective study to assess the risk factors involved in renal survival in patients presenting a single pathogenic variant on COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Results: 97 patients presenting a single pathogenic variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4 were included.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Its progression is influenced by complex interactions involving genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been identified as key regulators of gene expression, affecting diverse biological processes, notably programmed cell death (PCD).

Background: Both quantitative and qualitative aspects of muscle status significantly impact clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Comprehensive monitoring of baseline muscle status and its changes is crucial for risk stratification and management optimization. However, repeatable and accessible indicators are lacking.
