Article Abstract

A diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been considered an oncologic emergency. However, the prevailing wisdom to quickly administer AML-directed therapy is often in conflict with the time needed to complete the evaluation of actionable AML disease biology. Previous studies in intensively treated patients reported that time from date of diagnosis to treatment start date (TDT) did not impact survival outcomes. We conducted a US-based, multi-center, retrospective cohort study assessing the impact of TDT on overall survival (OS) in patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with hypomethylating agents (HMA) + venetoclax at 8 participating academic centers. 488 patients were included with a median age of 76 years. Patients had favorable (47.6%), intermediate (22.8%), and adverse (29.6%) risk disease by the 2024 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2024 less-intensive risk classification. Median TDT for the cohort was 9 days (IQR: 5-17). Those with TDT.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Association between transitional care in acute care hospitals and ambulatory care sensitive condition-related readmission.

Age Ageing

August 2025

Department of Nursing Health Services Research, Graduate School of Health Care Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.

Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.

Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH), a subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), develops with portal hypertension and may persist after liver transplantation. While there have been successes using balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) for POPH, no reports exist on long-term follow-up. A 60-year-old man with hepatitis C cirrhosis developed POPH.
