Malignant Transformation of Recurrent Benign Phyllodes Tumor: A Case Report and comprehensive review of literature

Introduction: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies PTs into benign, borderline, or malignant categories based on histological features. While benign PTs generally have a favorable prognosis, they carry a risk of transformation into malignant variants, particularly in cases of recurrence. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old female presented with a recurrent benign PT, previously treated with lumpectomy on two occasions. Recent imaging suggested possible malignant transformation, and histopathological examination confirmed a malignant PT. Discussion: This case highlights the crucial role of imaging in the early detection of malignant transformation in PTs. Surgical management strategies are discussed, with an emphasis on the potential for recurrent benign tumors to progress to malignancy. Conclusion: Regular imaging and close follow-up are essential for early detection of malignant transformation in recurrent PTs, guiding timely and appropriate surgical intervention.

An efficient claim management assurance system using EPC contract based on improved monarch butterfly optimization models

AbstractThe Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contract systems are widely employed in the construction industry. Among the prevalent issues in this sector, cash flow problems frequently lead to decreased productivity and efficiency. To address these challenges, a claim management system is developed based on the Improved Monarch Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (IMBOA) and the principles of EPC. Conventional construction models typically optimize only a single objective, such as time, cost, or delay, which may not effectively enhance overall performance. This study aims to develop a claim management system based on IMBOA and EPC principles to optimize multiple objectives, focusing on minimizing project costs and time delays while ensuring high-quality results. The basic methodology of this research involves integrating EPC and claim management principles with the IMBOA algorithm to create an efficient, high-quality system. This process starts with a comprehensive literature review on EPC, claims, MBOA, and related algorithms. Common disputes and claims in the construction industry are examined, and critical factors influencing these claims are identified. The Monarch Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (MBOA) and its improved version (IMBOA) are explored for their application in optimizing project performance. A case study in China's coal mining industry evaluates the effectiveness of the EPC approach, demonstrating that it minimizes time delays and costs. The IMBOA approach proposed in this study has the potential to mitigate 23% of risks and avoid 32% of risks associated with the action plan of China's coal mining industry. Furthermore, comparative analysis with other optimization models indicates that the developed IMBOA model yields superior results, reducing overall project time by 15% and cost by 18%.

Effect of POD24 on the prognosis of follicular and other indolent B-cell non-hodgkin lymphomas.

Indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas(B-NHL) encompass a heterogeneous category of lymphomas characterized by a wide range of pathological subtypes. With the application of chemoimmunotherapy with rituximab (R-chemo), the prognosis of patients has improved considerably, with a 10-year survival rate of 60-80%. Despite these advancements, a significant number of patients still experience disease progression during or shortly after initial treatment. Those who progress within the first 24 months (POD24) continue to face a notably worse prognosis. This study aims to explore the significance of POD24 in predicting the prognosis of different subtypes of indolent B-cell NHL through a comprehensive literature review. The investigation extends to examining the existing prognostic assessment tools and evaluating the interrelationship between POD24 and these tools. By synthesizing relevant research findings, this study seeks to contribute to the current understanding of the role POD24 plays in prognostic evaluation and its potential implications in guiding clinical decision-making for patients with indolent B-cell NHL.

Innovations in intraoperative therapies in neurosurgical oncology: a narrative review.

High-grade gliomas (HGG) represent the most aggressive primary brain tumors in adults, characterized by high recurrence rates due to incomplete resection. This review explores the effectiveness of emerging intraoperative therapies that may extend survival by targeting residual tumor cells. The main research question addressed is: What recent intraoperative techniques show promise for complementing surgical resection in HGG treatment? A comprehensive literature review was conducted, examining recent studies on intraoperative therapeutic modalities that support surgical resection of HGG. Techniques reviewed include laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), intraoperative brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and focused ultrasound (FUS). Each modality was evaluated based on clinical application, evidence of effectiveness, and potential for integration into standard HGG treatment protocols. Findings indicate that these therapies offer distinct mechanisms to target residual tumor cells: LITT provides localized thermal ablation; intraoperative brachytherapy delivers sustained radiation; PDT and SDT activate cytotoxic agents in tumor cells; and FUS enables precise energy delivery. Each method has shown varying levels of clinical success, with PDT and LITT currently more widely implemented, while SDT and FUS are promising but under investigation. Intraoperative therapies hold potential to improve surgical outcomes for HGG by reducing residual tumor burden. While further clinical studies are needed to optimize these techniques, early evidence supports their potential to enhance the effectiveness of surgical resection and improve patient survival in HGG management.

Wood–Cement Composites: A Sustainable Approach for Mitigating Environmental Impact in Construction

The construction industry’s environmental impact has become a growing concern, largely due to the energy-intensive production of conventional building materials. This paper explores the potential of wood–cement composites as a more sustainable alternative through a comprehensive literature review, including a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of research trends. Our analysis traces the evolution of wood–cement composites from early studies focused on mechanical properties, to recent investigations into their environmental benefits and practical applications. Key findings suggest that optimal performance can be achieved by treating wood with tetraethyl orthosilicate, incorporating additives like cellulose nanocrystals or wollastonite, and using wood from species such as Pinus. While partial cement replacement with wood waste and ash offers significant environmental advantages, precise formulations are needed to maintain structural integrity. This study also acknowledges certain methodological limitations, such as the reliance on keyword-based filtering, which may have excluded some relevant studies. Future research should address long-term durability, economic feasibility, and standardized testing methodologies to facilitate the adoption of wood–cement composites in the construction industry. These materials, particularly suitable for non-structural applications and insulation, hold promise as viable, eco-friendly building solutions capable of reducing the construction industry’s carbon footprint.

Leveraging Six Values for Company Performance: Adaptation of Sustainable Business Model Innovation Strategies in Chinese Electric Vehicle Brand Enterprises

Business model innovation is crucial for enhancing company performance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the six dimensions of sustainable business model innovation and company performance among Chinese electric vehicle brands. A structural equation model is constructed based on a comprehensive literature review and hypothesis development. Using PLS-SEM, this study empirically analyzes questionnaire data collected from the top 12 electric vehicle brands in China to explore the relationship between these six core dimensions and company performance. The results indicate that innovation in “value proposition to customers”, value creation, value delivery, and “value of residual” have a significantly positive impact on the performance of Chinese electric vehicle brands. However, value capture innovation and “value of after-sales service” innovation were not found to be statistically significant. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanism through which sustainable business model innovation impacts company performance, enriching the theoretical foundation of academic research in this field and broadening its practical applications in management.

Perioperative direct oral anticoagulant management during cardiac implantable electronic device surgery: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Patients undergoing cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation are often on direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC). However, the evidence on whether to continue or temporarily discontinue DOAC therapy during the perioperative period in these patients is unclear. We conducted a comprehensive literature review using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases through July 2024. We included studies comparing uninterrupted versus interrupted perioperative DOAC therapy in patients undergoing CIED procedure- primary implants, pulse generator replacement, and device upgrades. Primary outcomes were clinically significant device-pocket hematoma and thromboembolic events. Secondary outcomes included any device-pocket hematoma, all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and any bleeding. A total of 1,607 patients from 8 studies were included. The mean age was 73.2years, with atrial fibrillation as the indication for DOAC therapy in most patients. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc was 3.4. Among the included studies, 2 were randomized control trials (RCTs), while the others were observational cohort studies, including one that was propensity score matched. Our meta-analysis found both strategies to be similar in terms of clinically significant pocket hematoma (RR 1.70; 95%CI 0.84-3.45; p = 0.14; I2 = 0%), thromboembolic complications (RR 0.35; 95%CI 0.04-3.32; p = 0.36; I2 = 19%), any pocket hematoma, all-cause mortality and any bleeding with a higher risk of major bleeding with uninterrupted anticoagulation. This meta-analysis shows that uninterrupted DOAC therapy is comparable to interrupted therapy for CIED procedures, with a potential increase in major bleeding risk but low overall complication rates. Further research is needed to confirm the best approach of periprocedural anticoagulation in these patients.

Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoids in Glaucoma – Hit or Myth? - A Review

Introduction: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) that damages the optic nerve. Current treatments mainly focus on reducing IOP, but some patients do not respond adequately to conventional therapies. Cannabinoids, particularly Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), have been investigated as potential adjunctive treatments for glaucoma. Studies have shown varying effects of cannabinoids on IOP regulation, though their precise mechanisms remain unclear. Aim of Study: This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in the treatment of glaucoma by examining their effects on IOP, their mechanisms of action, and the risks and benefits associated with their use. Material and methods: A comprehensive literature review of studies on the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in glaucoma was conducted using the PubMed database. Results and Conclusions: Cannabinoids, especially Δ9-THC, have demonstrated the ability to reduce IOP in both healthy individuals and glaucoma patients. However, the effect is typically short-lived, lasting only 3-4 hours. The efficacy of cannabinoids in reducing IOP is influenced by the method of administration (oral, intravenous, inhalation) and the delivery system used for topical application. Despite some promising results, the use of cannabinoids as a mainstream glaucoma treatment is limited by factors such as the short duration of action, the potential for addiction, and the occurrence of adverse effects like tachycardia, hypotension, and cognitive impairment. Although cannabinoids offer a unique approach to glaucoma management, further research is necessary to address these limitations and determine their long-term therapeutic viability.

A Comprehensive Literature Review on the Resolution of Turbine Engine Performances' Inverse Problems

Abstract Turbine engine monitoring is a well-known and well-studied subject that proves to be essential for the aeronautic industry. A popular approach in engine monitoring is constructing indicators that reflect systems' health states by leveraging operational measurements (i.e., sensors' data during flights)—this is known as the engine performance's inverse problem. There exists an extensive literature on this topic, especially revolving around two well-used types of performance indicators of aircraft engines: efficiencies and air mass flow rates of engine's modules. This review aims to provide a comprehensive survey of this particular literature, which so far has not been properly organized and structured. Our first contribution is to propose a novel taxonomy of the relevant methods. In particular, we consider the role of physics-based models—an element that provides specific advantages and challenges in the context of aircraft engines monitoring—and see if each method exploits such models inside or outside the main algorithmic process (or not exploiting them at all). Our second contribution is to identify the pros and cons of each method, along with additional insights with respect to two commonly encountered challenges: under-determined scenarios and time-series data. Finally, we give some guidelines for selecting appropriate strategies in practical situations and perspectives for future works.
