Article Abstract

MAPK inhibitors (MAPKi) have revolutionized the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. However, primary and acquired resistance mechanisms limit their efficacy. Predicting MAPKi response from the tumor baseline features remains challenging due to the limited size of patient cohorts. Therefore, we collected data from nine different patient cohorts (total n = 417 patients with advanced melanoma treated with MAPKi) to identify clinical and molecular features. Our curated dataset, named MelanoDB, includes whole or partial exome sequencing data for 191 patients, copy number alteration information for 66 patients, and gene expression data for 132 patients. We provide a web application to explore the integrated dataset and data distribution across the collected studies, and we share this dataset with the scientific community according to the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) principles.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, social deprivation, insurance coverage, and medication use across regional subsets of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the US.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of PsA patients in the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry between January 2020 and March2023 was conducted. Distribution of high disease activity (HDA - RAPID3>12), high comorbidity (RxRisk ≥90 percentile), high Area Deprivation Index (ADI ≥80), insurance coverage, prednisone ≥10mg daily, and all DMARD therapies across geographic regions were evaluated.

: Neck flexion (NF) weakness is a frequently observed clinical feature in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), particularly in advanced disease. The aim of the present study was to assess whether NF weakness could be a clinical biomarker for development of respiratory dysfunction. : Sixty-two ALS patients were prospectively recruited at Brain and Nerve Research Center.

Immune checkpoint therapy has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of various solid tumors. Among these, tumor-induced immunosuppression mediated by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) represents a critical checkpoint. PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been proven to exhibit substantial efficacy in solid tumors such as melanoma and bladder cancer.

Severe emphysema impairs lung function and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Despite optimized medical treatment and rehabilitation, some patients require lung volume reduction interventions (endoscopic or surgical). This study evaluates one-year outcomes of patients managed at the Emphysema Clinic of CHU Liège.
