A rare case of high-grade laryngeal leiomyosarcoma was successfully treated with extended laryngectomy, left neck dissection, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of therapy, while multidisciplinary-guided adjuvant treatment may benefit selected high-grade or high-risk patients.
Researchers found that amiloride, a common blood pressure medication, improves artery flexibility and lowers blood sugar levels in patients with obesity. The study suggests that amiloride could be a potential strategy to reduce arterial stiffening and cardiovascular risk in these patients.
The article discusses how AI is unlocking hidden potential in multimodal ophthalmic datasets, enabling high-precision screening and early detection of eye diseases. It highlights the integration of various imaging modalities and non-imaging data types to provide a comprehensive diagnostic framework.
Researchers develop high-performance, bifunctional electrocatalyst using crystalline Ni3S2 nanorods and low-crystalline NiCoSx, enabling efficient overall water splitting. The catalyst's built-in electric field promotes faster electron transfer and optimizes adsorption energies.
Experts are calling on the World Health Organization (WHO) to adopt a more precautionary approach in responding to emerging respiratory viruses. The recent hantavirus outbreak, which has resulted in three deaths and several cases, highlights the need for improved ventilation, respirator use, and portable HEPA filtration.
Researchers at Winship Cancer Institute have administered the first investigational in vivo CAR-T cell therapy in the US for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, marking a significant milestone in next-generation cellular therapies. The therapy aims to streamline treatment processes and eliminate delays in care.
Researchers found that mouth stem cell proteins can slow down aggressive brain cancer growth, reduce tumour size and enhance chemotherapy effectiveness. The study suggests a new strategy to disrupt the body's defense systems against cancer.
Matthew Simpson, MD, receives 2026 Collaborative Fellow Scholarship from CHEST and APCCMPD to improve diversity in medical education. He aims to develop innovative approaches to teaching and mentorship.
A comprehensive review reveals that deep soil layers store over 50-60% of the total carbon in top meter of soil. The subsoil environment is characterized by low oxygen and limited microbial activity, making it a stable target for long-term carbon removal strategies.
Four new OICR-funded studies using CATALYST will advance cancer insights by reanalyzing existing patient samples and data. The initiatives aim to improve cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment by building on previous research.
