There is limited information regarding the treatment and outcomes of early stage triple-negative breast cancer (esTNBC) in real-world settings in Japan. Retrospective analyses of the Medical Data Vision database assessed treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), patient characteristics, outcomes and prognostic factors among four groups (neoadjuvant therapy+surgery+adjuvant therapy; neoadjuvant therapy+surgery; surgery+adjuvant therapy; surgery only) of esTNBC patients. Treatment patterns, HCRU and demographics varied among the four groups. HCRU was greater and prognosis tended to be worse in the neoadjuvant+surgery+adjuvant therapy group. Our results provide insights into the treatment practices, HCRU and prognosis of esTNBC in Japan. The treatment practices were heterogeneous, reflecting the decision-making process in Japan during the study period.

Background: HIV remains a major challenge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, particularly for young women who face disproportionate risks and barriers to prevention and treatment. Most HIV cure trials, however, occur in high-income countries.
Objective: To examine the perspectives of young women diagnosed with acute HIV in a longitudinal study, focusing on their perceptions on ATI-inclusive HIV cure trials and the barriers and facilitators to participation.

Objectives: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. However, limited data are available regarding the specific characteristics and needs of women with PCOS in Latin America. This consensus sought to evaluate the evidence-based practices for the management of PCOS for Latin American populations, consolidate regional insights, identify eventual gaps in implementation and identify key research opportunities.

December 2025
Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
In the current age of technological advancement, stress has emerged as a silent pandemic affecting individuals, especially young generations, globally. Factors such as increased competition, social pressures fueled by social media and smartphones, and a sense of diminished control in the face of modern challenges contribute to rising stress levels. In addition to the negative implications on mental well-being, stress affects physiological processes such as the menstrual cycle.

Background: Recovery of degraded coral reefs is reliant upon the recruitment of coral larvae, yet the mechanisms behind coral larval settlement are not well understood, especially for non-acroporid species. Biofilms associated with reef substrates, such as coral rubble or crustose coralline algae, can induce coral larval settlement; however, the specific biochemical cues and the microorganisms that produce them remain largely unknown. Here, we assessed larval settlement responses in five non-acroporid broadcast-spawning coral species in the families Merulinidae, Lobophyllidae and Poritidae to biofilms developed in aquaria for either one or two months under light and dark treatments.
