Pelvic floor status in opera singers. a pilot study using transperineal ultrasound
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Control of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is emphasized as important to obtain functional breath support in opera singing, but there is not much research that proves PFM function as part of breath support in classical ... -
Development of a predictive model for patients with bone metastases referred to palliative radiotherapy: Secondary analysis of a multicenter study (the PRAIS trial)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: The decision to administer palliative radiotherapy (RT) to patients with bone metastases (BMs), as well as the selection of treatment protocols (dose, fractionation), requires an accurate assessment of survival ... -
Progression-free survival versus post-progression survival and overall survival in WHO grade 2 gliomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background and purpose: Progression-free survival (PFS) remains to be validated as an outcome measure for diffuse WHO grade 2 gliomas, and knowledge about the relationships between PFS, post-progression survival (PPS), and ... -
Single cell and spatial transcriptomics highlight the interaction of club-like cells with immunosuppressive myeloid cells in prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Prostate cancer treatment resistance is a significant challenge facing the field. Genomic and transcriptomic profiling have partially elucidated the mechanisms through which cancer cells escape treatment, but their relation ... -
Single-cell multiomics analysis of chronic myeloid leukemia links cellular heterogeneity to therapy response
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a paradigm in molecularly targeted cancer therapy. Nonetheless, TKI-insensitive leukemia stem cells (LSCs) persist in most ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis of birth outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
