Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy Yields Superior Outcomes Compared to Laparoscopic Technique: A Single Surgeon Experience of 123 Consecutive Cases.
(MDPI, 2023-11-20)Technical limitations of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP), in comparison to robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP), may translate to high conversion rates and morbidity. LDP and RDP procedures performed between December ... -
Independent component analysis (ICA) applied to dynamic oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) for robust functional lung imaging at 3 T.
(WILEY, 2024-03-01)PURPOSE: Dynamic lung oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) is challenging due to the presence of confounding signals and poor signal-to-noise ratio, particularly at 3 T. We have created a robust pipeline utilizing independent ... -
An alternative NURF complex sustains acute myeloid leukemia by regulating the accessibility of insulator regions.
(WILEY, 2023-12-11)Efficient treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients remains a challenge despite recent therapeutic advances. Here, using a CRISPRi screen targeting chromatin factors, we identified the nucleosome-remodeling factor ... -
A tailored approach to horizon scanning for cancer medicines.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-12-01)BACKGROUND: Horizon scanning (HS) is the systematic identification of emerging therapies to inform policy and decision-makers. We developed an agile and tailored HS methodology that combined multi-criteria decision analysis ... -
"Tell me what is 'better'!" How medical students experience feedback, through the lens of self-regulatory learning.
(BMC, 2023-11-22)INTRODUCTION: While feedback aims to support learning, students frequently struggle to use it. In studying feedback responses there is a gap in explaining them in relation to learning theory. This study explores how feedback ... -
The comprehensive English National Lynch Syndrome Registry: development and description of a new genomics data resource.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)BACKGROUND: Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by constitutional pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. To date, fragmentation of clinical and genomic data has restricted ... -
Determination of Ligand-Binding Affinity (Kd) Using Transverse Relaxation Rate (R2) in the Ligand-Observed 1H NMR Experiment and Applications to Fragment-Based Drug Discovery.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2023-08-10)High hit rates from initial ligand-observed NMR screening can make it challenging to prioritize which hits to follow up, especially in cases where there are no available crystal structures of these hits bound to the target ... -
Phenotypic noise and plasticity in cancer evolution.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-11-13)Non-genetic alterations can produce changes in a cell's phenotype. In cancer, these phenomena can influence a cell's fitness by conferring access to heritable, beneficial phenotypes. Herein, we argue that current discussions ... -
Olaparib for the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Alterations in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 in the PROfound Trial.
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2024-02-10)Olaparib improved PFS and OS across subgroups of BRCA1/2mut #prostatecancer patients in the PROFOUND phase III trial. -
Inhibition of exosome biogenesis affects cell motility in heterogeneous sub-populations of paediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas.
(BMC, 2023-11-13)BACKGROUND: Paediatric-type diffuse High-Grade Gliomas (PDHGG) are highly heterogeneous tumours which include distinct cell sub-populations co-existing within the same tumour mass. We have previously shown that primary ... -
ELM-the Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource-2024 update.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2024-01-05)Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs) are the smallest structural and functional components of modular eukaryotic proteins. They are also the most abundant, especially when considering post-translational modifications. As well as ... -
Risk of hematological malignancies from CT radiation exposure in children, adolescents and young adults.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-12-01)Over one million European children undergo computed tomography (CT) scans annually. Although moderate- to high-dose ionizing radiation exposure is an established risk factor for hematological malignancies, risks at CT ... -
Olaparib plus Durvalumab, with or without Bevacizumab, as Treatment in PARP Inhibitor-Naïve Platinum-Sensitive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer: A Phase II Multi-Cohort Study.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2024-01-05)PURPOSE: Early results from the phase II MEDIOLA study (NCT02734004) in germline BRCA1- and/or BRCA2-mutated (gBRCAm) platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC) showed promising efficacy and safety with olaparib ... -
Crosstalk with lung fibroblasts shapes the growth and therapeutic response of mesothelioma cells.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-11-08)Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer of the mesothelial layer associated with an extensive fibrotic response. The latter is in large part mediated by cancer-associated fibroblasts which mediate tumour progression and poor ... -
Amivantamab Compared with Real-World Physician's Choice after Platinum-Based Therapy from a Pan-European Chart Review of Patients with Lung Cancer and Activating EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations.
(MDPI, 2023-11-08)Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) Exon 20 insertions (Exon20ins) at the second line and beyond (2L+) have an unmet need for new treatment. Amivantamab, ... -
Radical resection of large metastatic non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma complicated by splenic vein thrombosis and sinistral portal hypertension.
