Background: A few studies focus on the long-term outcomes and surveillance strategies for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and microvascular invasion (MVI) who experience postoperative recurrence. The aim of this study was to explore the patterns and prognosis of early and late recurrence (ER and LR) after hepatectomy of such patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients with HCC and MVI after hepatectomy from 26 centers in China from 2009 to 2020 were included. Overall survival (OS) and post-recurrence survival (PRS) were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.
Results: Of 2828 included patients, 1200 patients developed ER and 607 patients developed LR. Among patients with recurrence, 1166 patients had intra-hepatic recurrence as the primary site of first recurrence. The median OS times for the ER, LR, and non-recurrence groups were 20.2, 52.6, and 58.9 months, respectively. Besides, patients with ER had shorter PRS (14.3 vs. 18.9 months, p < 0.001) than LR. Compared to extra-hepatic and both intra- and extra-hepatic recurrence, intra-hepatic recurrence had better OS and PRS (p < 0.001). Recurrence patients who underwent regular postoperative surveillance had longer OS (37.1 vs. 23.4 months, p < 0.001) and PRS (21.2 vs. 11.9 months, p < 0.001) compared to those with irregular surveillance.
Conclusions: Patients with HCC and MVI are more likely to develop ER within 1 year, and ER has a worse prognosis compared to LR. Intra-hepatic is the predominant recurrence site in ER and LR. Postoperative surveillance can improve survival outcomes in patients with recurrence.

Objective: To investigate the application of whole exome sequencing (WES) in the prenatal diagnosis of isolated fetal growth restriction (FGR) with a normal result by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).
Methods: This retrospective study included singleton fetuses with isolated FGR in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between July 2018 and August 2023. All fetuses were subjected to invasive prenatal testing with CMA and WES.
Late pandemic COVID-19 positivity at the time of thrombectomy is associated with poor outcomes and tandem carotid pathology.

Objectives: COVID-19 is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Studies from early in the pandemic show increased rates of unfavorable recanalization, poor outcomes, and mortality in patients who were COVID-19 positive at the time of mechanical thrombectomy. However, there are currently no studies examining these parameters during the later pandemic when circulating variants were less virulent.

Background: FOXP1 syndrome is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with complex clinical presentations including global developmental delay, mild to profound intellectual disability, speech and language impairment, autism traits, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and a range of behavioral challenges. To date, much of the literature focuses on childhood symptoms and little is known about the FOXP1 syndrome phenotype in adolescence or adulthood.
Methods: A series of caregiver interviews and standardized questionnaires assessed psychiatric and behavioral features of 20 adolescents and adults with FOXP1 syndrome.
