Article Abstract
Surgical wide local excision (WLE) remains the current standard of care for primary cutaneous melanoma. WLE is an elective procedure that aims to achieve locoregional disease control with minimal functional and cosmetic impairment. Despite several prospective randomised trials, the optimal extent of excision margin remains controversial, and this is reflected in the persistent lack of consensus in guidelines globally. Furthermore, there is now the added difficulty of interpreting existing trial data in the context of the evolving role of surgery in the management of melanoma, with our increased understanding of clinicopathologic and genomic prognostic markers leading to the often routine use of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) as a staging procedure, in addition to the development of adjuvant systemic therapies for high-risk disease. An ongoing trial, MelMarT-II, has been designed with the aim of achieving a definitive answer to guide this fundamental surgical decision.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) recreational use is increasing across Germany - a survey of the German neurological society among practicing neurologists.

German Neurological Society, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Recreational nitrous oxide (NO) abuse has become increasingly prevalent, raising concerns about associated health risks. In Germany, the lack of reliable data on NO consumption patterns limits the development of effective public health interventions. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by examining trends, determinants, and health consequences of NO abuse in Germany.

Inherited genetic variants contribute to Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), but it is unknown which cell types are involved in this process. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of BE, EAC, and paired normal tissues and integrated genome-wide association data to determine cell-type-specific genetic risk and cellular processes that contribute to BE and EAC. The analysis reveals that EAC development is driven to a greater extent by local cellular processes than BE development and suggests that one cell type of BE origin (intestinal metaplasia cells) and cellular processes that control the differentiation of columnar cells are of particular relevance for EAC development.

Background: Both injecting drug use (IDU) and drug use by non-injecting routes only (non-IDU) are recognised internationally as behavioural risk factors for syphilis. In Australia, this association has predominantly been assessed in sexual health services. To generate evidence supporting regular screening and timely symptomatic testing of all at-risk populations, South Australia in 2022 commenced routine collection of drug use information for statutory syphilis surveillance.

Anaerobic bacteria cause a wide range of infections, varying from mild to severe, whether localized, implant-associated, or invasive, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. These infections are challenging to manage due to antimicrobial resistance against common antibiotics such as carbapenems and nitroimidazoles. The empirical use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of resistant organisms, making the identification and development of new antibiotics increasingly difficult.

We herein describe a novel decarboxylation/cyclization sequence involving a three-component reaction of dialkyl 2-(alkoxymethylene)malonate, amines, and terminal alkyne ester or internal alkyne ester catalyzed by CsCO under microwave conditions. These two types of highly chemo- and regioselective transformations were accomplished by different reaction channels to furnish a wide range of functionalized 8-hydroxyisoquinoline-1(2)-ones (21 examples) and 2-pyridones (18 examples) in good to excellent yields and might provide new opportunities for the discovery of N-heterocyclic drugs and other functional molecules.
