Published by Kowsar.BACKGROUND The 21-gene recurrence score (RS) assay has been recommended by major guidelines for treatment decision in hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer (EBC). However, the genomic assay is not accessible and affordable worldwide. Alternatively, an increasing number of studies have shown that traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) can partially or even completely replace the role of the 21-gene genomic assay. Here, we developed and validated a predictive model (IHC3 model) combining the Ki-67 index, progesterone receptor (PR) expression, histologic grade, and tumor size to predict the recurrence risk of HR-positive EBC. METHODS The data from 389 patients (development set) with HR-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, lymph node non-metastasized invasive breast cancer were used to construct the IHC3 model based on the Surexam® 21-gene RS and the TAILORx clinical trial criteria. An additional 146 patients with the same characteristics constituted the validation set. The prIONS The proposed IHC3 model could reliably predict low and high recurrence risks in most HR-positive EBC patients. This easy-to-use predictive model may be a reliable replacement for the 21-gene genomic assay in patients with EBC who have no access to or cannot afford the 21-gene genomic assay. © 2020 The Authors.

Clarifying the mechanisms underlying reductions in suicidal ideation and behaviour among individuals with first-episode psychosis may highlight important strategies through which specialized clinical programmes can increase the potency of their services to reduce suicidality among this high-risk population. Thus, the goal of this study is to evaluate the longitudinal relationships between suicidality and social problem-solving skills among individuals with FEP participating in Coordinated Specialty Care. METHODS Within-subject mediational and moderational models were applied to explore the interrelationships and longitudinal course of suicidality, social problem-solving and duration of untreated psychosis (DUP). RESULTS Over the first 6 months of care, individuals with FEP experienced improvements in social problem-solving skills that were found to mediate concurrent reductions in suicidality. Although longitudinal changes in social problem-solving skills were moderated by DUP, these results should be interpreted cautiously as they may stem in part from a relatively limited number of participants with longer durations of illness. CONCLUSIONS Improvements in social problem-solving skills during participation in CSC may facilitate reductions in suicidality.

Further research is needed to clarify if and how DUP may influence the magnitude of change in social problem-solving skills during participation in CSC. © 2020 John Wiley &amp; Sons Australia, Ltd.BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutation and particularly exon 20 insertion mutations of ERBB2 have been extensively reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to the increased accessibility of next-generation sequencing, more ERBB2 mutations within the non-TKD can be detected in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the clinical significance of non-TKD mutations remains unknown. Hence, this study was designed to comprehensively outline the landscape and characteristics of ERBB2 mutations in NSCLC. METHODS A total of 1934 patients with NSCLC from cBioPortal were included in the study. An ERBB2 mutation cohort was identified, while subsequent analyses revealed clinical and genomic characteristics. RESULTS The frequency of ERBB2 mutation was 4.5%, and it was determined to be more likely to occur in never-smokers. ERBB2 mutations occurring in the non-TKD accounted for 57.5% of ERBB2 mutations. In the non-TKD, missense mutation was the most recurrent mutation type, and S310F was the most recurrent mutR or KRAS co-mutations were significantly higher in ERBB2 mutations within the nontyrosine kinase domain compared to ERBB2 mutations within the tyrosine kinase domain. Nontyrosine domain mutations confer equal overall survival to tyrosine domain mutations. © 2020 The Authors.

However, few studies have documented and compared the sociodemographic characteristics and clinical needs of this subpopulation group. METHODS Initial assessments conducted from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed for this descriptive study. RESULTS A total of 272 patients were included in the study (mean age 28.3 ± 11.5; 200 males, 72 females). Adults with ID comprised the largest percentage (52.9%), followed by those with ASD (30.2%), and then those with co-occurring ASD and ID (16.9%). The ASD subgroup had the highest proportion of individuals with employment, postsecondary school education, functional capabilities, and a psychiatric disorder. In comparison, adults with only ID and adults with co-occurring ASD and ID shared similar lower levels of education and employment, and had a higher proportion of individuals with epilepsy and aggressive behavior. DISCUSSION In this study, adults with ASD had a unique social profile with different clinical needs compared to adults with only ID or to adults with co-occurring ASD and ID. Adults with only ID and those with co-occurring ASD shared many of the same social characteristics and high clinical needs. The analysis of these profiles will be useful in developing services that better meet the needs of this complex group. © 2020 The Authors.
