Muscular fitness profiles in relation to the response in body fat during school-based high-intensity intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The findings may help teachers assess the potential and indirect changes in muscle performance after employing a body weight intervention (based on the HIIT program). A more targeted approach to treating adolescents with excessive BF, in parallel with improving MF, can be individually tailored.PMID:38358366 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.24.15586-7 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

Intramedullary Nail vs. Plate Fixation for Pathological Humeral Shaft Fracture: An Updated Narrative Review and Meta-Analysis of Surgery-Related Factors
Conclusions: Considering the short life expectancy of end-stage patients, the choice of surgical method depends on the patient's individual condition, fracture and lesion patterns, the surgeon's experience, and comprehensive discussion between the surgeon and patient.PMID:38337449 | PMC:PMC10856436 | DOI:10.3390/jcm13030755 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

Exploring clinical indicator variations in stroke patients with multiple risk factors: focus on hypertension and inflammatory reactions
CONCLUSION: Age is correlated with an elevated risk of stroke. Individuals exhibiting multiple stroke risk factors and diverse ischemic stroke subtypes commonly present with abnormal lipid levels and imbalances in Th1/Th2 cytokines. These factors significantly contribute to the onset and progression of stroke. Furthermore, inflammatory responses, particularly those induced by atherosclerosis, play a pivotal role in the genesis of stroke and exert a substantial influence on its prognosis.PMID:38287458 | PMC:PMC10823715 | DOI:10.1186/s40001-024-01653-6 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

PerSurge (NOA-30) phase II trial of perampanel treatment around surgery in patients with progressive glioblastoma
DISCUSSION: This trial is set up to assess first indications of clinical efficacy and tolerability of perampanel in recurrent glioblastoma, a repurposed drug which inhibits neuron-glioma synapses and thereby glioblastoma growth in preclinical models. If perampanel proved to be successful in the clinical setting, it would provide the first evidence that interference with neuron-cancer interactions may indeed lead to a benefit for patients, which would lay the foundation for a larger confirmatory trial in the future.TRIAL REGISTRATION: EU-CT number: 2023-503938-52-00 30.11.2023.PMID:38279087 | PMC:PMC10811925 | DOI:10.1186/s...

Association between pathological infiltrative tumor growth pattern and prognosis in patients with resected lung squamous cell carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights a novel pathological concept of INF in LUSC, and contributed to the proposal that it is a factor indicating an unfavorable prognosis in patients with early-stage LUSC. A prospective multicenter study is warranted for INFc patients, as careful follow-up and adjuvant chemotherapy might lead to the early detection and prevention of recurrence.PMID:38262301 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejso.2024.107973 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

Geometric Deep Learning for Unsupervised Registration of Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Images
Inf Process Med Imaging. 2023 Jun;13939:563-575. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-34048-2_43. Epub 2023 Jun 8.ABSTRACTDeep learning based models for registration predict a transformation directly from moving and fixed image appearances. These models have revolutionized the field of medical image registration, achieving accuracy on-par with classical registration methods at a fraction of the computation time. Unfortunately, most deep learning based registration methods have focused on scalar imaging modalities such as T1/T2 MRI and CT, with less attention given to more complex modalities such as diffusion MRI. In this paper, to the b...

Efficacy and safety of biologics in primary sclerosing cholangitis with inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of patients with PSC-IBD with biologics (vedolizumab, infliximab, and adalimumab) was not associated with improvement of biochemical markers of cholestasis. Biologics are effective in treating the colitis associated with PSC. Vedolizumab was associated with worsening liver enzymes in contrast to other biologics, a finding that warrants further study.PMID:38206197 | PMC:PMC10786591 | DOI:10.1097/HC9.0000000000000347 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)

Acellular scaffold-based approach for in situ genetic engineering of host T-cells in solid tumor immunotherapy
CONCLUSION: Our scaffold-based T-cell therapy presents an innovative in situ localized approach for programming T-cells to target solid tumors. This approach offers a viable alternative to in vitro manipulation of T-cells, circumventing the need for large-scale in vitro generation and culture of tumor-specific T-cells. It offers an off-the-shelf alternative that facilitates the use of host cells instead of allogeneic cells, thereby, overcoming a major hurdle.PMID:38173045 | PMC:PMC10765574 | DOI:10.1186/s40779-023-00503-6 (Source: Methods of Information in Medicine)
