Background: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prognostic factors on the survival of patients diagnosed with uterine carcinosarcoma.
Methods: A sub-analysis of the SARCUT study, a multicentric retrospective European study, was carried out. We selected 283 cases of diagnosed uterine carcinosarcoma for the present study. Prognosis factors influencing survival were analyzed.
Results: Significant prognostic factors for overall survival were: incomplete cytoreduction (HR = 4.02; 95%CI = 2.68-6.18), FIGO stages III and IV (HR = 3.21; 95%CI = 1.83-5.61), tumor persistence after any treatment (HR = 2.90; 95%CI = 1.97-4.27), presence of extrauterine disease (HR = 2.62; 95%CI = 1.75-3.92), a positive resection margin (HR = 1.56; 95%CI = 1.05-2.34), age (HR = 1.02; 95%CI = 1.00-1.05), and tumor size (HR = 1.01; 95%CI = 1.00-1.01). Significant prognostic factors for disease-free survival were: incomplete cytoreduction (HR = 3.00; 95%CI = 1.67-5.37), tumor persistence after any treatment (HR = 2.64; 95%CI = 1.81-3.86), FIGO stages III and IV (HR = 2.33; 95%CI = 1.59-3.41), presence of extrauterine disease (HR = 2.13; 95%CI = 1.44-3.17), administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (HR = 1.84; 95%CI = 1.27-2.67), a positive resection margin (HR = 1.65; 95%CI = 1.11-2.44), presence of LVSI (HR = 1.61; 95%CI = 1.02-2.55), and tumor size (HR = 1.00; 95%CI = 1.00-1.01).
Conclusions: Incomplete cytoreduction, presence of tumor residual after treatment, advanced FIGO stage, extrauterine disease, and tumor size are significant prognostic factors decreasing disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with uterine carcinosarcoma.

Whether pediatric dialysis is morally obligatory is an ethical issue. The study's aim was to understand neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' beliefs regarding the ethical use of pediatric dialysis. A single center study was conducted using theoretical and case-based surveys.

Radiofrequency microneedling is a cutting edge technology with evidence-based outcomes demonstrating skin tightening and retraction. These ancillary procedures complement and enhance the results of dynamic definition liposculpture.

Objectives: In this study we aimed to educate the reader about providing bipolar RF to various anatomic regions of the face.
Methods: A retrospective review of cases was conducted to assess the safety of zone-specific RF-assisted facial rejuvenation in S.
Background: Acne is an inflammatory skin disease afflicting the majority of the world's population at some point in their lifetime, and is seen to be chronic in about 50% of cases. Acne leads to significant social withdrawal, depression, and disfiguring scars in many cases. Available treatments are characterized by high rates of relapse, dangerous side effects, and social stigma, which often leads to poor patient compliance and treatment failure.

Background: Cancer-associated cachexia can inhibit immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy efficacy. Cachexia's effect on ICI therapy has not been studied in large cohorts of cancer patients aside from lung cancer. We studied associations between real-world routinely collected clinical cachexia markers and disability-free, hospitalization-free and overall survival of cancer patients.
