Precision epitope editing: A path to advanced immunotherapies

Cell Insight
The ability to recognize antigen epitope is crucial for generating an effective immune response. By engineering these epitopes, researchers can reduce on-target/off-tumor toxicity associated with targeted immunotherapy.

Total Parathyroidectomy with Subcutaneous Parathyroid Forearm Autotransplantation in the Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Single-Center Experience. [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction Secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in chronic kidney disease. Parathyroidectomy is indicated in refractory hyperparathyroidism when medical treatments and so the parathyroid hormone levels cannot be lowered to acceptable values without

The Importance of Patient Positioning in Radiography When Utilising Automatic Exposure Control

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study highlights the impact of inaccurate patient positioning on dose and image quality when utilising the automatic exposure control (AEC) for radiographic examinations. While the AEC serves to optimise radiation dose to patients, the results here demonstrate that poor positioning can lead to significant dose implications for patients.

Comparative Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of Mediastinum Tumor Excision Performed by Conventional VATS and Single-Port VATS

Medicine, 2015
Single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been widely applied recently. However, there are still only few reports describing its use in mediastinum tumor resection.

Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer: a scoping review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 106-118, March 2025.
This review article reports that quantification of hypoxic volumes using PET in the pre‐radiation therapy setting is of prognostic value and indicative of treatment response in non‐small cell lung cancer. Abstract Introduction Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and

Could the use of computed tomography and transesophageal echosonography decrease the number of explorative thoracotomy in the lung carcinoma? [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2002
A group of 49 patients (41 males, 8 females) with locally confined non small cell lung carcinoma, of the average age 58.48 ± 9.05 years, was retrospectively analyzed. Bronchoscopy, computed tomography of the thorax and transesophageal echosonography were

Impact of Combined Additional Resections on the Surgical Outcomes of Robot‐Assisted Resection of Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Robot‐assisted thoracoscopy (RATS) is rapidly emerging as the preferred approach for the resection of thymic epithelial tumors (TET). Current challenges include the role of RATS in locally advanced disease and combined additional resections.
