    Abstract The ability to obtain tumor material from cells in the blood of cancer patients provides a significant benefit over the use of tumor tissue as a diagnostic to make treatment decisions. However, the traditionally defined circulating tumor cell (CTC) has been shown to be useful only in some cases. A recently identified type of circulating stromal cell, which appears to be more frequent than CTCs, was found engulfing tumor material at the tumor site and then entering the blood stream. These cells were defined as cancer-associated macrophage-like cells (CAMLs). Together, CTCs and CAMLs may be able to provide information for cancer detection and diagnosis, without the use of tissue. CTCs and CAMLs have many clinical applications, three of which are summarized in this review: for prognosis, as companion diagnostics, and for residual disease monitoring.

    Abstract Introduction: Manual therapy is an often-utilized intervention for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). The interpretation of results presented by these trials can be affected by how well the study designs align applicability to real-world clinical settings.
    Aim: To examine the existing body of clinical trials investigating manual therapy for knee OA to determine where they fall on the efficacy-effectiveness spectrum.
    Methods: This systematic review has been guided and informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Randomized controlled trials that investigated manual therapy treatments for adults with knee OA were retrieved via searches of multiple databases to identify trials published prior to April 2023. The Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-Effectiveness Spectrum (RITES) tool was used to objectively rate the efficacy-effectiveness nature of each trial design. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 assessment tool (RoB-2) was used to assess the risk of bias across five domains.
    Results: Of the 36 trials, a higher percentage of trials had a greater emphasis on efficacy within all four domains: participant characteristics (75.0%), trial setting (77.8%), flexibility of intervention (58.3%), and clinical relevance of experimental and comparison intervention (47.2%). In addition, 13.9% of the trials had low risk of bias, 41.7% had high risk of bias, and 44.4% had some concerns regarding bias.
    Conclusions: While many trials support manual therapy as effective for the management of knee OA, a greater focus on study designs with an emphasis on effectiveness would improve the applicability and generalizability of future trials.

    Abstract Despite advancements in the early-stage detection and expansion of treatments for prostate cancer (PCa), patient mortality rates remain high in patients with aggressive disease and the overtreatment of indolent disease remains a major issue. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a standard PCa blood biomarker, is limited in its ability to differentiate disease subtypes resulting in the overtreatment of non-aggressive indolent disease. Here we assess engorged cancer-associated macrophage-like cells (CAMLs), a ≥50 µm, cancer-specific, polynucleated circulating cell type found in the blood of patients with PCa as a potential companion biomarker to PSA for patient risk stratification. We found that rising PSA is positively correlated with increasing CAML size (r = 0.307,

    Abstract Purpose: To report a case of neurofibroma involving the lymph nodes and to perform a literature review on this topic.
    Observations: A 72-year-old woman with a history of neurofibromatosis and biopsy-proven malignant melanoma of the left forearm underwent wide local excision of the malignant lesion along with sentinel axillary lymph node biopsy. Histological examination of axillary nodes revealed diffuse neurofibromatosis within 2 lymph node capsules. A thorough review of the English literature pertaining to intranodal neurofibroma was performed by querying Google Scholar and PubMed. Only 5 cases of intranodal neurofibroma have been described until now.
    Conclusions and importance: Neurofibroma involving the lymph nodes is rare and this is the first reported case that is shown to diffusely involve the intracapsular space. Furthermore, intranodal neurofibroma can represent a diagnostic pitfall in the evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes for metastatic melanoma.

    Abstract Fish assemblages are useful in evaluating the health of aquatic ecosystems. Over time, fish assemblages will respond to anthropogenic disturbances but may also simultaneously respond to conservation efforts in a watershed, shifting the taxonomic and functional structure of the assemblage. We quantified temporal changes in taxonomic and functional structure of fish assemblages in the Current River, Missouri, over an 80‐year time span and related these changes to forest regeneration and persistent pasture land use within the watershed. We found shifts in taxonomic and functional assemblage structure in two time‐steps from the 1940s to 2020 related to land use within the watershed. Reforested reaches exhibited increases in benthic species, rheophilic species and invertivorous feeding guilds. Higher pasture reaches exhibited decreases in benthic species and native centrarchid species while generalist centrarchid species increased. Ultimately, fish assemblage structure in the Current River appears to be shifting to an alternative state (i.e. increased presence/abundance of benthic species) in response to forest regeneration and persistent pasture land use.

    Abstract Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is a fatal urological cancer, with one third of patients diagnosed with metastasis, resulting in a 5-year survival of only 12%. Recent advancements in therapies have increased survival in mRCC, but lack efficacy in subtypes, due to treatment resistance and toxic side effects. Currently, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets are limitedly used as blood based biomarkers to help determine RCC prognosis. Cancer associated macrophage-like cells (CAMLs) are a potential mRCC biomarker which have been identified in peripheral blood of patients with malignant tumors and have been shown to predict poor clinical patient outcomes based on their number and size. In this study, blood samples from 40 RCC patients were obtained to evaluate the clinical utility of CAMLs. CAML changes were monitored during treatment regimens to evaluate their ability to predict treatment efficacy. It was observed that patients with smaller CAMLs had better progression free survival (HR = 2.84, 95% CI 1.22-6.60, p = 0.0273) and overall survival (HR = 3.95, 95% CI 1.45-10.78, p = 0.0154) versus patients with larger CAMLs. These findings suggest that CAMLs can be used as a diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarker for patients with RCC which may help improve management of advanced RCC.
