t LEAVO could not demonstrate that bevacizumab is non-inferior to the licensed agents.Low-income Hispanic communities are disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic through exacerbated financial vulnerabilities and health challenges. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the self-reported impact and challenges caused by COVID-19 in Mexican-origin parents in New York City (NYC), NY and El Paso, TX. Data is based on routine follow-up calls used to assess uptake of the HPV vaccine and COVID-19 concerns conducted between March and August 2020. Three salient themes emerged (1) financial insecurities; (2) emotional distress associated with COVID-19; and (3) limited access to health and human services. This study revealed increased financial insecurities and emotional distress, and disruptions to health and human services to low-income Mexican-born parents during the pandemic.

To investigate effective model composed of features from ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (UF-MRI) for distinguishing low- from non-low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions or DCIS lesions upgraded to invasive carcinoma (upgrade DCIS lesions) among lesions diagnosed as DCIS on pre-operative biopsy.

Eighty-six consecutive women with 86 DCIS lesions diagnosed by biopsy underwent UF-MRI including pre- and 18 post-contrast ultrafast scans (temporal resolution of 3s/phase). The last phase of UF-MRI was used to perform 3D segmentation. The time point at 6s after the aorta started to enhance was used to obtain subtracted images. From the 3D segmentation and subtracted images, enhancement, shape, and texture features were calculated and compared between low- and non-low-grade or upgrade DCIS lesions using univariate analysis. Feature selection by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and k-fold cross-validation were performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance.

Surgical specimens revealed 16 low-grade DCIS lesions, 37 non-low-grade lesions and 33 upgrade DCIS lesions. In univariate analysis, five shape and seven texture features were significantly different between low- and non-low-grade lesions or upgrade DCIS lesions, whereas enhancement features were not. The six features including surface/volume ratio, irregularity, diff variance, uniformity, sum average, and variance were selected using LASSO algorism and the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for training and validation folds were 0.88 and 0.88, respectively.

The model with shape and texture features of UF-MRI could effectively distinguish low- from non-low-grade or upgrade DCIS lesions.

Nephrectomy is the management of choice for the treatment of renal tumors. Surgical pathologists primarily focus on tumor diagnosis and investigations relating to prognosis or therapy. Pathological changes in non-neoplastic tissue may, however, be relevant for further management and should be thoroughly assessed.

Here, we examined the non-neoplastic renal parenchyma in 206 tumor nephrectomy specimens for the presence of glomerular, tubulo-interstitial, or vascularlesions, and correlated them with clinical parameters and outcome of renal function.

We analyzed188 malignant and 18 benign or pseudo-tumorous lesions. The most common tumor type was clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC, n = 106) followed by papillary or urothelial carcinomas (n = 25). Renal pathology examination revealed the presence ofkidney disease in 39 cases (18.9%). Glomerulonephritiswas found in 15 cases (7.3%), and the mostfrequent was IgA nephropathy (n = 6; 2.9%). Vasculitis was found in two cases(0.9%). In 15 cases we found tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and in 9 severe diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy. Partial nephrectomy was not linked to better eGFR at follow-up. Tanespimycin Age, vascular nephropathy, glomerular scarring and interstitial fibrosis were the leading independent negative factors influencing eGFR at time of surgery, whereas proteinuria was associatedwithreducedeGFR at 1year.

Our large study population indicates a high incidence of renal diseases potentiallyrelevant forthe postoperative management of patients with renal neoplasia. Consistent and systematic reporting of non-neoplastic renal pathology in tumor nephrectomy specimens should therefore be mandatory.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a frequentcomplication of pateints in theIntensive Care Unit (ICU), is associated with a high mortality rate. Early prediction of AKI is essential in order to trigger the use of preventive careactions.

The aim of this study was to ascertain the accuracy of two mathematical analysis models in obtaining a predictive score for AKI development. A deep learning model based on a urine output trends was compared with a logistic regression analysis for AKI prediction in stages 2 and 3 (defined as the simultaneous increase of serum creatinine and decrease of urine output, according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) guidelines). Two retrospective datasets including 35,573 ICU patients were analyzed. Urine output data were used to train and test the logistic regression and the deep learning model.

The deep learning model definedan area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89 (± 0.01), sensitivity = 0.8 and specificity = 0.84, which was higher than the logistic regression analysis. The deep learning model was able to predict 88% of AKI cases more than 12h before their onset for every 6 patients identified as being at risk of AKI by the deep learning model, 5 experienced the event. On the contrary, for every 12 patients not considered to be at risk by the model, 2 developed AKI.

In conclusion, by using urine output trends, deep learning analysis was able to predict AKI episodes more than 12h in advance, and with a higher accuracy than the classical urine output thresholds. We suggest that this algorithm could be integrated inthe ICU setting to better manage, and potentially prevent, AKI episodes.
