Among 90 pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor ALL, prior blinatumomab was associated with more relapses at atypical extramedullary sites. The retrospective single-center findings require prospective confirmation.

The American Thoracic Society updated guidance for childhood interstitial lung disease in infants, emphasizing genetic testing, chest imaging, biopsy indications, and transplant referral. Recommendations formalize evaluation priorities for rare pediatric lung disorders.

In a single-center cross-sectional study of 75 symptomatic patients, coronary artery calcium score and carotid intima-media thickness were associated with CT-derived CAD severity. The findings support risk-stratification interest but require prospective validation.

An ophthalmologist-inventor described automated slit-lamp imaging as a way to standardize anterior-segment documentation. The discussion emphasized workflow, ergonomics, teleophthalmology, and future AI training needs.

A randomized noninferiority trial involving 648 men with MRI-visible prostate lesions found that cognitive fusion biopsy achieved clinically significant prostate cancer detection rates similar to software-based fusion biopsy. Subgroup analyses suggested body mass index may influence the relative performance of each approach.

A two-year analysis of 12,670 screened men found that the Stockholm3 risk model detected more clinically significant prostate cancers than PSA testing alone, primarily through fewer false-negative results. The findings suggest improved screening discrimination, although follow-up remains limited to two years.
