Why treatment efficacy on breathlessness in laboratory but not daily life trials? The importance of standardized exertionPurpose of review Treatments for chronic breathlessness, including opioids and oxygen, have shown efficacy in the controlled laboratory setting, whereas effects have been inconsistent or absent in trials in daily life. This review discusses the lack of standardized exertion as a potential cause of false negative findings for breathlessness in daily life. Recent findings The level...

Prediction Model for Audiological Outcomes in Patients With GJB2 MutationsObjectives: Recessive mutations in GJB2 are the most common genetic cause of sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI) in humans. SNHI related to GJB2 mutations demonstrates a wide variation in audiological features, and there has been no reliable prediction model for hearing outcomes until now. The objectives of this study were to clarify the predominant factors determining hearing outcome and to establish a predictive model...

18F-FDG PET/CT in Oral Cuniculatum CarcinomaA 69-year-old woman was referred for initial staging of an oral cavity mass. 18F-FDG PET/CT displayed a homogeneous intense uptake of the 50-mm left hemipalatal mass with local extension to the dental arcade and maxillary sinus. Infracentimetric bilateral cervical nodes with faint uptake were also detected, contrasting with the usual presentation of other head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Biopsy concluded to a rare head and neck squamous cell carcinoma...

ORIGINAL ARTICLEPrognostic implications of residual disease tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and residual cancer burden in triple-negative breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapyNeoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a commonly utilized strategy for the treatment of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). A major advantage of this strategy is the ability to observe the tumor response to chemotherapy. Pathologic complete response (pCR) is a well-established end point of NAC clinical...

Quantitative Electroencephalogram Trends Predict Recovery in Hypoxic-Ischemic EncephalopathyObjectives: Electroencephalogram features predict neurologic recovery following cardiac arrest. Recent work has shown that prognostic implications of some key electroencephalogram features change over time. We explore whether time dependence exists for an expanded selection of quantitative electroencephalogram features and whether accounting for this time dependence enables better prognostic predictions. Design:...
