Peritoneal carcinomatosis originating from gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC-PC) occurs in a defined subset of gastric cancer patients with unique clinical, pathologic, molecular and immunologic characteristics that create significant obstacles to effective treatment with modern therapy. Although systemic chemo- and immuno- therapy have yielded disappointing results in GC-PC, recent advances in the characterization of GC-PC and peritoneal immune biology present new opportunities for targeted therapeutics. In this review article, we discuss the distinct properties of GC-PC and the peritoneal immune environment as they pertain to current and investigative treatment strategies. We discuss pre-clinical studies and clinical trials relevant to the modulation of the peritoneal environment as a therapeutic intervention in GC-PC. Finally, we present a road map for future combinatorial strategies based on the conception of the peritoneal cavity as a bioreactor. Within this isolated compartment, prevailing immunosuppressive conditions can be altered through regional interventions toward an adaptive phenotype that would support the effectiveness of regionally delivered cellular therapy products. It is hoped that novel combination strategies would promote efficacy not only in the sequestered peritoneal environment, but also via migration into the circulation of tumor-reactive lymphocytes to produce durable systemic disease control, thereby improving oncologic outcome and quality of life in patients with GC-PC.

CANANDAIGUA –– The Town Board has scheduled a special meeting for 3 p.m. Oct. 23 to continue discussion of a 2024 town budget.

Today, October 24, is United Nations Day, a holiday that few people know exists. The day is a holiday that commemorates the anniversary of the U.N. Charter, an institution established nearly 80 years ago in 1945. At that time the charter was signed by 50 countries with the goal of maintaining international peace and security and to prevent future wars.

Pancreatitis encompasses pancreatic tissue inflammation due to enzymatic autodigestion, leading to complications such as pancreatic pseudocysts. This report details a case in which the administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists rendered a regressing, asymptomatic pseudocyst symptomatic. We posit that, absent other triggers, GLP-1 agonists might exacerbate pseudocysts. This emphasizes timely diagnosis and proper management. Our investigation delves into patient-specific nuances, potential mechanistic insights, the need to study this phenomenon among a broader cohort, alternative pathologies, long-term consequences, and clinical ramifications in response to a shifting pseudocyst behavior.

From what I understand, the voltage and current waves propagate down the input transmission line, hit the nonlinear oscillator, and then bounce back toward the generator. How are gates such as the ...

My colleague David L aka Shellvedge recently came to NYC and we put together a nice little video that he shot for me, highlighting my shoe brand, J.FitzPatrick Footwear, and our shop in NYC.
