TL;DR: The current document is a revision of the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment criteria for treatment response in myelofibrosis and represents a collaborative effort by the IWG-MRT and the European LeukemiaNet to objectively assess the value of new drugs in inducing morphologic remission or improvement in MF-associated symptomatic burden.

TL;DR: Results indicate that different pathogenetic mechanisms underlie transformation to JAK2 wild-type and JAK1-mutant AML, show that TET2 mutations may be present in a clone distinct from that harboring aJAK2 mutation, and emphasize the clonal heterogeneity of the MPNs.

TL;DR: A number of factors predict cardiac rehabilitation attendance and some of these are potentially modifiable, particularly job status, gender and health concerns.
Abstract: Background: Many eligible patients fail to attend cardiac rehabilitation courses. Objective: To undertake a systematic literature review of studies that have investigated factors associated with cardiac rehabilitation attendance. Methods: Literature published between 1978 and 2001 was searched using the MEDLINE, PSYCINFO and CINAHL computerized databases. Studies were sought that examined course attendance in eligible patient samples. Studies had to include at least one baseline predictor variable. Results: Fifteen studies were identified and predictor variables were usually categorized as sociodemographic, medical and psychological. Nonattenders are more likely to be older, to have lower income/greater deprivation, to deny the severity of their illness; they are less likely to believe they can influence its outcome or to perceive that their physician recommends cardiac rehabilitation. Job status, gender and health concerns play an indirect role in attendance behaviour. Comparison of results between studies could be influenced by different case-mix, measurement instruments and country of origin. Conclusion: A number of factors predict cardiac rehabilitation attendance and some of these are potentially modifiable.

TL;DR: Multivariate analyses indicated that the adverse impact of delay in presentation on survival was attributable to an association between longer delays and more advanced stage, however, within individual stages, longer delay had no adverse impact on survival.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the possible influence on survival of delays prior to presentation and/or treatment among women with breast cancer. Duration of symptoms prior to hospital referral was recorded for 2964 women who presented with any stage of breast cancer to Guy’s Hospital between 1975 and 1990. Median follow-up is 12.5 years. The impact of delay (defined as having symptoms for 12 or more weeks) on survival was measured from the date of diagnosis and from the date when the patient first noticed symptoms to control for lead-time bias. Thirty-two per cent (942/2964) of patients had symptoms for 12 or more weeks before their first hospital visit and 32% (302/942) of patients with delays of 12 or more weeks had locally advanced or metastatic disease, compared with only 10% (210/2022) of those with delays of less than 12 weeks (P< 0.0001). Survival measured both from the date of diagnosis (P< 0.001) and from the onset of the patient’s symptoms (P= 0.003) was worse among women with longer delays. Ten years after the onset of symptoms, survival was 52% for women with delays less than 12 weeks and 47% for those with longer delays. At 20 years the survival rates were 34% and 24% respectively. Furthermore, patients with delays of 12–26 weeks had significantly worse survival rates than those with delays of less than 12 weeks. Multivariate analyses indicated that the adverse impact of delay in presentation on survival was attributable to an association between longer delays and more advanced stage. However, within individual stages, longer delay had no adverse impact on survival. Analyses based on ‘total delay’ (i.e. the interval between a patient first noticing symptoms and starting treatment) yielded very similar results in terms of survival to those based on delay to first hospital visit (delay in presentation).

TL;DR: The present recommendations represent an update and extension of the recommendations published in 2001 by the Working Group on Echocardiography of the European Society of Cardiology, and new developments covered include technical advances such as 3D transoesophageal echo.
Abstract: Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is a standard and indispensable technique in clinical practice. The present recommendations represent an update and extension of the recommendations published in 2001 by the Working Group on Echocardiography of the European Society of Cardiology. New developments covered include technical advances such as 3D transoesophageal echo as well as developing applications such as transoesophageal echo in aortic valve repair and in valvular interventions, as well as a full section on perioperative TOE.
