The protooncogene plays a critical role in many cellular processes. translocations are recurrent in large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) where they exhibit a negative effect on survival. Gain of copies is also frequently identified; however, there is no consensus on the frequency and prognostic significance of copy gains. We collected FISH data for with reflex testing for and and IHC results at diagnosis for a cohort of 396 and transformed LBCL cases and compared progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) to determine the prognostic impact of extra copies. The prevalence of cases with copy number gain was 20.9%. PFS was shorter for patients with ≥5 copies compared to controls ( = 0.0005, HR = 2.25). gain trended towards worse OS; patients with ≥7 copies had worse OS ( = 0.013), similar to patients with translocations. We propose that gain represents a dose-dependent prognostic factor for LBCLs.

Objective: To evaluate a structured communication training for providers performing prenatal counseling for patients presenting to a multidisciplinary maternal fetal care center.
Method: Providers who care for pregnant patients with high-risk fetal conditions participated in two half-day virtual training sessions using the VitalTalk methodology. In each session, providers learned the methodology and then participated in role-play with standardized actors.

Purpose: Gallbladder squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare subtype of gallbladder malignancy, comprising only 1-4% of cases. Ectopic expression of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) has been described in various epithelial cancers and is associated with aggressive behavior. We report the first known case of gallbladder SCC with diffuse β-hCG expression and markedly elevated serum β-hCG levels, aiming to explore its clinicopathological implications and potential as a prognostic biomarker.

ObjectiveAccurate prognostication is crucial for managing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In this study, we aimed to develop an improved machine learning-based prognostic model for predicting the 5-year survival rates in HIV-associated cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients.MethodsWe derived and tested machine learning models using algorithms including Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), and Random Forest.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and prognosis of aggressive natural killer-cell leukemia (ANKL). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 27 ANKL patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2014 to 2024. Their clinical data, histomorphology, and immunophenotype were reviewed.

Background: Coaptation gap (CG) is one of the challenging anatomies of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), but its impact on patient outcomes is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of CG on procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR).
Methods: Data from 2140 patients undergoing TEER for functional MR were analysed, focusing on the presence of CG, which is a missing leaflet coaptation between the anterior and posterior leaflets during systole.
