Article Abstract
Background: An unprecedented amount of personal health data, with the potential to revolutionize precision medicine, is generated at health care institutions worldwide. The exploitation of such data using artificial intelligence (AI) relies on the ability to combine heterogeneous, multicentric, multimodal, and multiparametric data, as well as thoughtful representation of knowledge and data availability. Despite these possibilities, significant methodological challenges and ethicolegal constraints still impede the real-world implementation of data models.
Technical Details: The EuCanImage is an international consortium aimed at developing AI algorithms for precision medicine in oncology and enabling secondary use of the data based on necessary ethical approvals. The use of well-defined clinical data standards to allow interoperability was a central element within the initiative. The consortium is focused on 3 different cancer types and addresses 7 unmet clinical needs. We have conceived and implemented an innovative process to capture clinical data from hospitals, transform it into the newly developed EuCanImage data models, and then store the standardized data in permanent repositories. This new workflow combines recognized software (REDCap for data capture), data standards (FHIR for data structuring), and an existing repository (EGA for permanent data storage and sharing), with newly developed custom tools for data transformation and quality control purposes (ETL pipeline, QC scripts) to complement the gaps.
Conclusion: This article synthesizes our experience and procedures for health care data interoperability, standardization, and reproducibility.

From clinical trials to daily practice: how to adequately administer sulbactam-durlobactam? alone or combined with imipenem?
Curr Opin Infect Dis
September 2025
Infectious Diseases Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna.
Purpose Of Review: Sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) is a novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination recently approved for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. This review summarizes current knowledge on the optimal use of SUL-DUR, whether administered alone or in combination with carbapenems, particularly imipenem.
Recent Findings: Data from registrational trial demonstrate that SUL-DUR is an effective and well tolerated treatment option for CRAB severe infections.
Protein profiles and associated biological pathways among different etiologies of chronic kidney disease: new insights from DAPA-CKD.

Background: We investigated circulating protein profiles and molecular pathways among various chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies to study its underlying molecular heterogeneity.
Methods: We conducted a proteomic biomarker analysis in the DAPA-CKD trial recruiting adults with and without type 2 diabetes with an eGFR of 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73m2 and a UACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g.
Very late spinal accessory nerve to infraspinatus nerve transfer to restore glenohumeral external rotation in brachial plexus birth injury.

Department of Surgery, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil.
Background: Poor recovery of active glenohumeral external rotation (aGHER) after brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is common. Late spinal accessory nerve to infraspinatus motor branch (SAN-IS) transfer has been reported as effective. We investigated its efficacy in children over 4 years with BPBI.

Background: Children in low- and middle-income countries face obstacles to optimal language and cognitive development due to a variety of factors related to adverse socioeconomic conditions. One of these factors is compromised caregiver-child interactions and associated pressures on parenting. Early development interventions, such as dialogic book-sharing (DBS), address this variable, with evidence from both high-income countries and urban areas of low- and middle-income countries showing that such interventions enhance caregiver-child interaction and the associated benefits for child cognitive and socioemotional development.

Cardiology Department, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Aims: There is a lack of data from randomized clinical trials comparing treatment outcomes between conduction system pacing (CSP) modalities and biventricular pacing (BVP) in symptomatic patients with refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) scheduled for atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA). The CONDUCT-AF investigates whether CSP is non-inferior to BVP in improving left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with symptomatic AF undergoing AVNA.
Methods: This study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multicentre clinical trial conducted across 10 European centres, enrolling 82 patients with symptomatic AF, HF with reduced LVEF, and narrow QRS.
