Genomic and clinical landscape of RAS mutations in acute myeloid leukemia

RAS mutations are recurrent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); yet, their genomic and clinical landscape remain poorly characterized. We analyzed centralized molecular profiling data in 8,553 patients with newly diagnosed AML. Of these, 1,775 (21%) harbored RAS mutations: NRAS in 1...

Multimodal Prodromal Patterns Associated with COPD Exacerbations in Home Telemonitoring: An Exploratory Observational Study

Characterizing multi-parameter physiological, acoustic, and environmental changes before acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations (AECOPD) is crucial for improving home telemonitoring and enabling timely clinical intervention. In a 12-month prospective observatio...

NLRP1 Inflammasome is Associated to IL-18 in Familial Mediterranean Fever and MEFV Variants

Abstract “Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) (OMIM #249,100) is the most prevalent hereditary autoinflammatory disease globally, though it remains rare outside Mediterranean populations. FMF is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes the immune regula...

Mapping the Progression of Atrial Fibrillation Substrate: Insights from Left Atrial Wall Thickness and High-Density Voltage Mapping

Background/Objective: Advances in cardiac computed tomography (CT) now allow high-resolution, three-dimensional reconstruction of the left atrium, enabling precise quantification of left atrial wall thickness (LAWT). However, the relationship between LAWT and electrophysiological...

Incidence, Causes, and Outcomes of Conversion to Open Surgery During Minimally Invasive Left Pancreatectomy: A Prospective Multicenter Study

ABSTRACT Background Minimally invasive left pancreatectomy (MILP) has become the preferred approach to treat lesions of the pancreatic body and tail. However, the procedure may require conversion to open surgery, with reported conversion rates varying widely in the literature. Th...

Malnutrition Severity, Morphofunctional Assessment, and Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study

PURPOSE: Malnutrition is common in lung cancer and may contribute to impaired functional status and poor survival. This study evaluated the association between GLIM-defined malnutrition, morphofunctional nutritional parameters, and one-year mortality in patients with lung cancer....
