Article Abstract
Background: Treatment of patients with pelvic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) remains a challenge owing to the rarity of the disease, the lack of data, and the relative radioresistance of these tumors.
Case Reports: This case series presents the results of three patients with recurrent or inoperable pelvic ACC treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plus carbon ion (C12) boost. Patients received C12 therapy at a dose of 3 Gray equivalents (GyE) (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]) per fraction up to 24 GyE RBE, followed by 50 GyE of photon IMRT in 25 fractions.
Conclusion: IMRT plus C12 ion boost as a definitive or adjuvant treatment for pelvic ACCs seems to be a promising therapeutic option. No unexpected toxicity was detected and the observed toxicity remained consistently low. The initial treatment response is promising and similar to that experienced for head and neck ACCs.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore contributing factors identified in serious incident investigations conducted by internal, independent multidisciplinary teams.
Methods: A total of 166 serious incident investigation reports, conducted between 2018 and 2023 in 11 integrated social and health care organizations in Finland, were analyzed. The reports were classified by incident type and contributing factor, which were analyzed using the WHO's Conceptual Framework for the International Classification for Patient Safety.
Association of Omeprazole-Related Myopathy With Drug-Drug and Drug-Gene Interactions Involving CYP2C19 and CYP3A4: A Nested Case-Control Study.

Department of Biomedical Informatics, School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Omeprazole, a widely used proton pump inhibitor, has been associated with rare but serious adverse events such as myopathy. Previous research suggests that concurrent use of omeprazole with fluconazole, a potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19/3A4 inhibitor, may increase the risk of myopathy. However, the contribution of genetic polymorphisms in CYP enzymes remains unclear.

Background: Despite considerable improvements in surgical treatment strategies for unstable ankle fractures, long-term follow-up studies on conventional treatment strategies are missing. The aim of the study was to assess the patient-reported long-term outcome (≥15 years) following surgically treated ankle fractures.
Methods: Retrospective, single-center, outcome study with a current follow-up.

Since the release of the Supreme Court decision in June 2022, researchers have been working to better understand the impact that the growing number of abortion restrictions are having on the provision of and access to abortion services in the United States (US). Less is known about the impact of abortion restrictions on the provision of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services more broadly, including at clinics that do not directly offer abortion. Between November 2023 and February 2024, we conducted interviews with SRH managers, clinic managers, and other administrators at publicly funded SRH clinics around the US to generate evidence on the effects of state-level abortion restrictions on the provision of abortion and related services, such as pregnancy options counselling and abortion referrals, at facilities providing contraceptive services.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of excision (conization) and active surveillance in women under 35 years of age diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN 2) on disease regression to normal cervical cytology and the effectiveness of nonsurgical management.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at OOO. Women under 35 diagnosed with CIN 2 were included and divided into two groups based on the management strategy: excisional treatment or active surveillance.
