Effectiveness of a Contextually Tailored E-Learning Module in Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening Knowledge and Practice Among Primary Care Physicians in Malaysia: A Pre-Post Interventional Study

A pre-post interventional study involving 110 primary care physicians in Kuching, Sarawak, demonstrated that a contextually tailored e-learning module significantly improved colorectal cancer screening knowledge and clinical reasoning, though systemic barriers such as time constraints and limited clinic infrastructure continue to hinder the consistent translation of this knowledge into clinical practice.

The Impact of Recovery Achievement on the Value of Post-Tube Chest X-Ray After Chest Tube Removal Following Robotic Lung Resection

This retrospective study of 502 robotic lung resection patients demonstrates that while post-chest tube removal X-rays are beneficial for identifying complications in patients with targeted or delayed recovery, they can be safely omitted for those achieving accelerated recovery on postoperative day one.

Efficacy and safety of first-line systemic therapies for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer ineligible for anti-PD-(L)1 inhibitors in clinical practice: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

This systematic review and network meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials involving 3,752 patients indicates that for first-line treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in patients ineligible for anti-PD-(L)1 inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (specifically datopotamab-deruxtecan and sacituzumab-govitecan) and bevacizumab plus chemotherapy significantly improve progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy alone, while PARP inhibitors remain the preferred option for patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations.

Integrated Cytokine Network Profiling Reveals Synergistic Inflammatory Clusters Associated with PASI Severity in Psoriasis

This study demonstrates that psoriasis severity is driven by a synergistic network of pro-inflammatory cytokines (specifically IL-17A, IL-22, and TNF-α) rather than isolated mediators, and identifies IL-22 and IL-12(p40) as potential biomarkers for monitoring treatment response.
