AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of a Nutrition Support Team (NST) on the nutrition and growth of premature infants in NICUs.
- Researchers compared the average daily intake of calories, protein, and fat before and after the NST introduction, and measured growth through changes in length, weight, and head circumference z-scores.
- Results showed that the NST significantly improved caloric and lipid intake, as well as length growth in the infants after 28 days, indicating the importance of nutritional support for optimal development.
Article Abstract
Purpose: For neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), appropriate nutritional assessment and intervention are important for adequate growth. In this study, we aimed to determine whether there were changes in the nutritional supply and growth status of premature infants hospitalized in the NICU after the introduction of the Nutrition support team (NST).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed premature infants admitted to the NICU for over 14 days. The average daily calorie, protein, and fat supply at 1 and 2 weeks after birth were compared before and after NST, and growth was evaluated by changes in length, weight, and head circumference z-scores at birth and 28 days after birth.
Results: A total of 79 neonates were included in the present study, with 32 in the pre-NST group and 47 in the post-NST group. The average daily energy supply during the first (=0.001) and second (=0.029) weeks postnatal was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group. Lipid supply for the first week was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group (=0.010). The change in the z-score for length was significantly higher in the post-NST group than in the pre-NST group (=0.049).
Conclusion: Nutrient supply and length z-score change increased significantly at 28 days after birth in the post-NST group. These results suggest that calorie calculators and NST activity can promote adequate growth and development in neonates.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the long-term outcomes between breast-conserving surgery plus radiotherapy (BCS + RT) and mastectomy in early breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST).
- Data from nearly 14,000 patients showed that BCS + RT significantly improved breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) compared to mastectomy.
- The research developed a machine learning model called the random survival forest (RSF), which outperformed other predictive models, and a web-based tool for clinicians to help personalize treatment strategies.

Omission of Breast Surgery in Exceptional Responders.

Breast cancer management has transformed significantly over the last decades, primarily through the integration of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) and the evolving understanding of tumor biology, enabling more tailored treatment strategies. The aim of this review is to critically present the historical context and contemporary evidence surrounding the potential of omission of surgery post-NST, focusing on exceptional responders who have achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR). Identifying these exceptional responders before surgery remains a challenge, however standardized image-guided biopsy may allow optimized patient selection.

Background: 13-15% of breast cancer/BC patients diagnosed as pathological complete response/pCR after neoadjuvant systemic therapy/NST suffer from recurrence. This study aims to estimate the rationality of organoid forming potential/OFP for more accurate evaluation of NST efficacy.
Methods: OFPs of post-NST residual disease/RD were checked and compared with clinical approaches to estimate the recurrence risk.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) in clinically node-positive breast cancer (BC) patients based on post-NST multiple-parameter MRI and clinicopathological characteristics.
Methods: In this retrospective study, females with clinically node-positive BC who received NST and followed by surgery between January 2017 and September 2021 were included. All axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) on MRI were matched with pathology by ALN markers or sizes.
