Transapical Left Ventricular Approach for Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastomas: A Case Report
Conclusion: Although left ventricular papillary fibroelastomas are benign tumors, they carry a high risk for embolic complications and therefore surgery should be proposed, the transapical approach being a safe and effective method. (Source: In Vivo)

Low H3K9me3 Expression Is Associated With Poor Prognosis in Patients With Distal Common Bile Duct Cancer
Conclusion: H3K9me3 was an independent poor prognostic factor in distal common bile duct cancer. Our results suggest that histone markers are potential prognostic markers and provide better management for patients at risk for an aggressive course of disease. (Source: In Vivo)

Clinical Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients With a History of Malignant Tumor
Conclusion: The clinical outcomes of patients with AMI with a history of MT are poor, and a history of MT is an independent predictor for all-cause mortality and re-admission due to ADHF. These patients may need careful risk management for heart failure to avoid re-admissions due to ADHF. (Source: In Vivo)
