The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 41-53, January 2026.ABSTRACT Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy, fibrosis, and immune dysregulation. Anti‐SS‐A antibodies (anti‐SSA) have been reported to confer severe clinical manifestations in some Western and Japanese cohorts. We aimed to determine whether anti‐SSA seropositivity affects clinical outcomes in Japanese patients. We

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Wedge resection is an optimal choice for NSCLCs ≤ 2 cm, especially for GGO‐dominant tumors. However, segmentectomy is more appropriate when the CTR is > 0.25. ABSTRACT Background The role of wedge resection in the treatment of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with solid components ≤ 2 cm remains controversial.
