Background: Sintilimab is an antibody against programmed cell death protein 1. We assessed the efficacy and safety of sintilimab plus albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
Methods: This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04341883) enrolled patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who progressed after at least one line of systemic therapy. The patients received sintilimab 200 mg and nab-paclitaxel 260 mg/m body surface area every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Key secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DoR), and safety.
Findings: From January 13, 2020 to February 21, 2022, 27 patients were enrolled and received treatment. Median patient age was 50 years (range, 34-68 years). By data cut-off (May 22, 2022), in intention-to-treat population, ORR was 44.4% (95% CI, 24.4%-64.5%). The disease control rate was 88.9% (95% CI, 70.8%-97.6%). Median PFS was 5.2 months (95% CI, 2.7-7.7 months). Median DoR was 3.8 months (95% CI, 0.7-6.9 months), and median OS was 13.1 months (95% CI, 5.8-20.4 months). Treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 44.4% of the patients, and the most common AEs were decreased neutrophil count (22.2%), decreased white blood cell count (14.8%), and anemia (7.4%). The most common potential immune-related AEs were grade 1-2 hypothyroidism (18.5%), neutropenia (11.1%), and rash (7.4%).
Interpretation: Sintilimab plus nab-paclitaxel treatment shows promising antitumor activity and manageable toxicity in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Larger randomized controlled trials are required for validation.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, genetic alterations, and biological behaviors of hamartomatous inverted hyperplastic polyp (HIHP) in the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical, sonographic, endoscopic and pathologic data of 10 HIHP cases diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China from January 2013 to March 2024 were collected. Their clinicopathological features and histological morphology were analyzed.

Objective: The administration of amiodarone or lidocaine is recommended during the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients presenting with defibrillation-refractory or recurrent ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Our objective was to use 'target trial emulation' methodology to compare the outcomes of patients who received amiodarone or lidocaine during resuscitation.
Methods: Adult, non-traumatic OHCA patients in the ESO Data Collaborative 2018-2023 datasets who experienced OHCA prior to EMS arrival, presented with a shockable rhythm, and received amiodarone or lidocaine during resuscitation were evaluated for inclusion.

Background: People with subclinical atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke, albeit to a lesser extent than those with clinical atrial fibrillation, leading to an ongoing debate regarding the benefit of anticoagulation in these individuals. In the ARTESiA trial, the direct-acting oral anticoagulant apixaban reduced stroke or systemic embolism compared with aspirin in people with subclinical atrial fibrillation, but the risk of major bleeding was increased with apixaban. In a prespecified subgroup analysis of ARTESiA, we tested the hypothesis that people with subclinical atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack, who are known to have an increased risk of recurrent stroke, would show a greater benefit from oral anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention compared with those without a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack.

Purpose: To present the case of a young patient with BRAF V600E-mutant cutaneous melanoma who developed bilateral choroidal metastases complicated by neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in both eyes following the interruption of nivolumab therapy.
Methods: A 28-year-old female with primary cutaneous melanoma of the left hand underwent surgical resection and adjuvant nivolumab. Immunotherapy was discontinued due to immune-related acute interstitial nephritis.

The emergence of new variants and diverse vaccination regimens have raised uncertainty about vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2. This study aims to investigate the impact of Omicron primo-/reinfection and primary vaccination schedules on the immunogenicity of an mRNA-based booster dose over a six-month period. We conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the durability and level of antibodies of 678 healthcare workers fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
