Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) presents a significant clinical challenge due to its high fatality rate and limited surgical candidacy. With only 30-40% of patients eligible for surgery upon diagnosis, alternative therapies are imperative. This study assesses the efficacy of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization for unresectable ICC patients in a non-university tertiary care center (NUTCC).

Costimulation blockade: the next generation.

Curr Opin Organ Transplant

January 2025

Division of Nephrology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA.

Purpose Of The Review: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are central to immunosuppression in kidney transplantation (KT), improving short-term outcomes but falling short in enhancing long-term outcomes due to cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal complications. Belatacept, an FDA-approved costimulation blocker, offers a less toxic alternative to CNIs but is limited by its intravenous administration and reduced efficacy in high-immunological-risk patients.

Recent Findings: Emerging therapies target more specific pathways to improve efficacy and accessibility.

Retina-on-chip: engineering functional models of the human retina using organ-on-chip technology.

Lab Chip

January 2025

Applied Stem Cell Technologies Group, Department of Bioengineering Technologies, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands.

The retina is a complex and highly metabolic tissue in the back of the eye essential for human vision. Retinal diseases can lead to loss of vision in early and late stages of life, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Due to its accessibility for surgical interventions and its isolated nature, the retina is an attractive target for novel genetic therapies and stem cell-based regenerative medicine.

Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) frequently occur in the acute phase of myocarditis. Possible arrhythmic recurrences and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in this setting are reasons for concern, and limited data have been published to guide clinical management of these patients. The aim of the present paper is to report the incidence of major arrhythmic events, defined as sustained VA, SCD and appropriate implantable cardiac-defibrillator (ICD) treatment, in patients with acute myocarditis and ventricular arrhythmic phenotype.
