Immunohistochemistry Does Not Improve Reliability of Diagnosis of Lymphovascular Space Invasion in Endometrial Cancer

Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) predicts nodal involvement, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. Despite its importance, the current approach to determining LVSI relies on slide review, which has substantial variability across pathologists. This variability is clinically important because it may alter the recommendation for treatment with radiation. Our study investigates whether immunohistochemical counterstaining to mark the border of t...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 09, 2025
We describe the case of a 3-week-old male neonate who developed a large pseudoaneurysm of the left common carotid artery following transcarotid ductal stent placement. The lesion was successfully managed using a stepwise endovascular technique involving embolization with thrombin and coils. The pseudoaneurysm, which caused significant airway compromise, was excluded without surgical intervention....

Simplified Anxiety Scale (SAS-3): Development, Psychosocial Justification, and Clinical Application in Patients with Orofacial Pain
Leonardo Brigido Metello Neves, Bernardo Correia Lima, Rafael Vidal Peres, Bruno Luiz Baldessarini, Pires JDM, Renata Gueldini Mendes and Rafael Coutinho Mello Machado
Article Type: Original Article | First Published: August 21, 2025
Orofacial pain (OFP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are complex conditions whose chronicity and severity are strongly influenced by psychosocial factors, notably anxiety. The assessment of these factors in dental practice is hampered by the length of traditional instruments (e.g., GAD-7, HADS), creating a gap between clinical necessity and application feasibility....

The Simplified Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS-S): A Pilot Study of a Screening Tool for Orofacial Pain
Leonardo Brigido Metello Neves, Bernardo Correia Lima, Bruno Luiz Baldessarini, Pires JDM and Rafael Coutinho Mello Machado
Article Type: Original Article | First Published: August 19, 2025
The management of orofacial pain (OFP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is based on the biopsychosocial model, where pain catastrophizing is a critical predictor of worse clinical outcomes. Although the 13-item Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is considered the gold standard, it is impractical in high-volume clinics, creating a gap between research and practice....

Using Previous Longitudinal Group Randomized Rural Weight Loss Study Data to Design A Prospective Rural Weight Loss Trial
Alexandra R Brown, Byron J Gajewski, Matthew S Mayo, Edward F Ellerbeck and Christie A Befort
Article Type: Original Article | First Published: September 10, 2025
Considerations must be taken when designing group-randomized trials due to the hierarchical structure of the data. Longitudinal group-randomized trials have an added layer of nesting adding more complexity to the study design. Simulation studies have been performed to compare the operating characteristics and validate statistical models for these hierarchical data structures, but many provide simulations from parametric distributions under set assumptions....
