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...

Mediterranean lifestyle and risk of recurrent cardiovascular events: a prospective study from the UK biobank

Abstract Background The Mediterranean Lifestyle Index (MEDLIFE) evaluates adherence to traditional Mediterranean living, encompassing diet, physical activity, rest and conviviality. Although it has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and other c...

Comparative Clinical Outcomes Between Successive Generations of Liberty Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Purpose: To compare the clinical and functional outcomes of two successive generations of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), the original Liberty 677MY and the optimized Liberty 677CMY. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first head-to-head comparison between two successive...

Cargo-specific platelet reprogramming and education mediated by pancreatic cancer-derived extracellular vesicles

The systemic progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is tied to a hypercoagulable state, yet early tumor secretome–platelet interactions remain poorly defined. Prevailing models regard platelet education by tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a passive, d...

Trop-2 overexpression as a prognostic marker in early triple-negative breast cancer: results from the GEICAM_CIBOMA trial

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a key therapeutic target in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its prognostic significance in early-stage disease remains poorly defined. We evaluated Trop-2 expression and its clinical impact within a sub-cohort of...

Deep molecular profiling of lung neuroendocrine tumours and supra-carcinoids

BACKGROUND: Lung neuroendocrine tumours (NETs, also known as carcinoids) are rapidly rising in incidence worldwide but have unknown aetiology and limited therapeutic options beyond surgery. The current WHO classification, based on mitotic count and presence or absence of necrosis...

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....

Work autonomy and work effort under perceived performance-contingent reassignment/dismissal policies: parallel affective pathways in the UAE

This study examines whether work autonomy is associated with work effort in the context of perceived performance-contingent reassignment/dismissal policies, that is, employees’ perceptions that inadequate performance evaluations may lead to reassignment to other positions or dism...

Eating Behavior Latent Profiles and Their Associations With Body Composition in Early Childhood: The CORALS Cohort

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to identify sex‐specific eating behavior profiles and assess the associations between eating behaviors subscales and profiles and body composition indices in Spanish preschoolers from the CORALS cohort. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional an...

Evolution of functional and mental status and quality of life in people aged 75 years and over after the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain: a prospective cohort study

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant health and psychosocial consequences in the older adults. However, there is little community-based evidence that clearly distinguishes the effect attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection to be differentiated from the contextual impact of the...
