Summary: This study aimed to explore the dynamic changes in quality of life, anxiety/depression status, and body image among breast cancer survivors who received different surgical procedures. The results showed that breast reconstruction significantly improved quality of life in the first 5 years, but with fluctuations. Mastectomy group had relatively stable quality of life scores and lower levels of anxiety/depression. Medical comorbidities, anxiety/depression status, and body image were major factors influencing quality of life among breast cancer survivors.

Summary: This study examines the factors associated with the decision of women carrying a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant to undergo risk-reducing mastectomy. Results showed that women with a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant, younger women, and women with higher breast cancer worry were more likely to opt for surgery. These findings provide valuable insights into individual differences in decision-making concerning preventive options and emphasize the importance of addressing negative anticipatory feelings in clinical care.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty (UCP) procedure in surgery-naive open-angle glaucoma patients, showing significant reduction in intraocular pressure and high surgical success rate. While some side effects were observed, there were no major intra or post-operative complications, making UCP a valuable and well-tolerated option for lowering IOP in glaucoma patients.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the oncological safety of de-escalated locoregional radiotherapy in patients with cT1-2N1 breast cancer treated with primary chemotherapy, according to a predefined, consensus-based study guideline.

Summary: Mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes increase the risk of developing breast cancer, and prophylactic mastectomy is a way to manage this risk. A study compared the occurrence of breast cancer between nipple-sparing mastectomy and surveillance groups of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers, indicating that nipple-sparing mastectomy appears to be at least equally safe as other types of mastectomy for preventing breast cancer in these carriers.

Summary: Comparing different exercise modalities combined with diet intervention on body composition in overweight and obese adults, the study found that the combined strength and endurance group had lower levels of fat mass percentage both immediately after intervention and 3 years later compared to the other groups.

Summary: This study identified a high rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among breast cancer patients with ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2 gene alterations, including variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Premenopausal status and pathogenic alterations were associated with an increased use of CPM.

Summary: Patients undergoing contralateral prophylactic mastectomy face higher odds of overall complications compared to those undergoing bilateral prophylactic mastectomy, without significant differences in certain reconstructive modalities or after controlling for lymph node surgery.

Summary: Analyzing the results of breast reconstruction is important for oncological safety and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) and delayed reconstruction (DR) both have risks of complications, but there are no significant differences in HRQoL between the two methods.

Summary: This study evaluated the utility of breast MRI in high-risk patients undergoing planned bilateral prophylactic mastectomy for breast cancer detection. The results showed that breast MRI detected all cancers and may impact surgical decision-making.

Summary: Administration of prophylactic oral dextrose gel to at-risk late preterm and term infants, compared with placebo, resulted in no significant difference in the risk of neurosensory impairment at 2 years' corrected age, although the study may have been underpowered to detect a small but potentially clinically important difference in risk.

Summary: A prospective observational study at Hannover Medical School showed that lung transplantation (LuTx) in children with end-stage pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) resulted in excellent midterm outcomes with 100% survival at 2 years post-LuTx. Postoperative VA-ECMO support facilitated early extubation and contributed to sustained biventricular reverse-remodeling and improved systolic function.
