Cesarean delivery and overweight at 6 years of age: a prospective cohort analysis of the Japan Environment and Children’s Study

Abstract Cesarean delivery (CD) has been suggested as a potential risk factor for childhood overweight and obesity; however, evidence beyond early childhood remains inconsistent. We examined the association between CD and childhood overweight at age 6 years and explored early lif...

Surgical Indications for Type II Thyroplasty in Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia: A Scoping Review

ABSTRACT Objective This scoping review mapped evidence on surgical eligibility criteria, efficacy, durability, and safety of Type II thyroplasty with titanium bridges for adductor spasmodic dysphonia to identify gaps and inconsistencies among studies and propose preliminary inter...

Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Paediatric Patients With Psoriasis in the OptIMMize-1 Phase III Study.

BACKGROUND: Treatment options for paediatric patients with psoriasis are limited, and additional, more advanced therapies are needed. Risankizumab is an interleukin-23 inhibitor approved to treat moderate-to-severe psoriasis in adults. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate efficacy and safety...

Survival impact of repeated endobiliary radiofrequency ablation in patients undergoing durvalumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (BRAVE trial): study protocol for an international multicenter randomized controlled trial

Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (eCCA) often presents with unresectable disease and obstructive jaundice. Systemic therapy with gemcitabine–cisplatin plus durvalumab (GCD) is an international standard; however, the median overall survival (OS) remains about 1 year. Endobiliary ra...

Triangulating Evidence on Serum Uric Acid and Cancer Risk: Consistent Inverse Associations With Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT We examined the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and cancer incidence through a conventional observational and two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study in the same population (triangulation). We followed 13,695 individuals aged 35–69 years for cancer...

Preferences and reasons for clothing colors in women patients and survivors of breast cancer in Korea

Purpose Clothing color can affect the psychological aspects in female patients and survivors of breast cancer; however, little is known regarding their preferences and reasons for choosing specific clothing color. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing their clothing...

Real‐World Outcomes of Olaparib in Japanese Patients With BRCA ‐Mutated Metastatic Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer: Exploratory Analysis of BRCA2 Loss and Microsatellite Instability Status

OBJECTIVES: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has a poor prognosis. Although olaparib has demonstrated efficacy in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations, real-world data in Japanese patients remain limited. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of olaparib in patie...

Microsatellite Instability‐High Somatic‐Type Malignancy Arising From a Primary Retroperitoneal Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report

ABSTRACT Introduction Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown only limited clinical efficacy in germ cell tumors (GCTs), underscoring the need for predictive biomarkers such as microsatellite instability‐high (MSI‐high). We report a rare case of mixed‐type GCTs treated with chemo...

De-escalation of perioperative systemic therapy for early breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide, and the number of survivors continues to increase owing to earlier detection and advances in treatment. As long-term survivorship becomes increasingly important, minimizing treatment-related toxicity without compr...

Metastatic Testicular Cancer Complicated by Myelodysplastic Syndrome

ABSTRACT Introduction The coexistence of testicular cancer and hematopoietic disorders is rare, and reports on optimal treatment strategies are limited. Here, we present a case of metastatic testicular cancer associated with myelodysplastic syndrome. Case Presentation A 24‐year‐o...

Anterior cingulate cortex projections to the amygdala in primates: topographic and layer-specific organization underlying emotion and mood regulation

Abstract Emotion and mood regulation critically depends on interactions between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the amygdala. However, the detailed architecture of ACC projections to their major targets, the basal (BA) and accessory (AcBA) basal nuclei of the amygdala, re...

Cryo-EM structure of pro-aggregant P301L/S320F double-mutant tau filaments formed in mouse brains following peripheral AAV delivery

Abstract Tauopathies are characterized by the accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated tau filaments, with disease-specific folds revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Here, we delivered a recombinant human tau carrying the P301L/S320F double mutation into App NL-G-F /...

Exploring Patient Needs and Respective Contributing Factors Regarding Hospital and Community Pharmacists for Outpatients with Cancer

Improving the quality and safety of outpatient chemotherapy requires effective information sharing between hospitals and community pharmacies. However, achieving truly patient-centered care necessitates pharmacists to go beyond information exchange and develop a deeper understand...
