Introduction: The treatment of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has radically changed in recent years. Response to neoadjuvant treatment has provided prognostic information, and the achievement of a pathological complete response (pCR) is associated with improved prognosis. An exact treatment algorithm that embraces the trade-off of efficacy and toxicity in a risk-adapted manner has, however, not been consolidated.
Areas Covered: In this review, we focused on the current treatments used for patients with early triple negative breast cancer, aiming at framing a therapeutic approach toward risk-adapted treatment optimization. We reviewed the clinical trials and other evidence at the foundation of the current clinical practice in early TNBC and identified possible areas of clinical implementation.
Expert Opinion: In our opinion, treatment optimization will ensure improved patient-centric outcomes, with less toxicities, better long-term quality of life and risk-adapted treatment modulation. Presently, treatment modulation can be applied in some patients through de-intensification, for small TNBC, informed by novel biomarkers and based on the response to neoadjuvant treatments, especially in the case of pCR. Innovative approaches should incorporate baseline risk and cancer biology, treatment response, and post-surgery biomarkers of prognosis, to deliver risk-adapted treatments for patients with early TNBC.

Department of Orthopedics, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin Province, PR China.
Rationale: Bilateral gluteus medius contractures in adults are rare in clinical practice, with only a few cases reported. These contractures may result from repeated intramuscular injections during childhood. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic process, treatment, and outcomes can provide insights into effective management strategies.

Inflammatory responses and lipid metabolism disorders are key components in the development of coronary artery disease and contribute to no-reflow after coronary intervention. This study aimed to investigate the association between the neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR) and no-reflow phenomenon in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This study enrolled 288 patients with STEMI from September 1st, 2022 to February 29th, 2024, in the Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University.

Background And Objectives: Retrospective studies examining errors within a surgical scheduling setting do not fully represent the effects of human error involved in transcribing critical patient health information (PHI). These errors can negatively impact patient care and reduce workplace efficiency due to insurance claim denials and potential sentinel events. Previous reports underscore the burden physicians face with prior authorizations which may lead to serious adverse events or the abandonment of treatment due to these delays.

Purpose: To explore strategies related to cancer-related financial toxicity (FT) from the perspectives of cancer survivors and stakeholders in China and to evaluate their views within the context of the social ecological model (SEM).
Methods: Between March and July 2022, we conducted a descriptive qualitative study with semistructured interviews of 23 cancer survivors and 14 stakeholders. Qualitative content analysis on the basis of the SEM was used to analyze the data with NVivo 12.
Is there a risk of developmental problems in infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and/or pre-eclampsia?
PLoS One

Developmental and Early Physiotherapy Unit, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: The aims of this study were (i) to describe the early spontaneous movements in 3-to 5-month-old infants in groups of infants born to mothers with GDM and/or PE, (ii) to compare them, and (iii) to analyze the differences between infants with these risk factors and typically developing infants born to mothers without GDM and/or PE and other risk factors.
Methods: This cohort study included 255 infants in 4 groups: (i) 96 infants born to mothers with GDM, (ii) 78 infants born to mothers with PE, (iii) 31 infants born to mothers with GDM and PE, and (iv) 50 typically developing infants. Early spontaneous movements, including not only fidgety movements but also concurrent movement and postural patterns, were assessed using the General Movements Assessment (GMA), which determines the Motor Optimality Score-Revised (MOS-R).
