    Abstract In high-income countries, regular general health check-ups are part of the fabric of the health care systems. The hidden concept of general health check-ups, promoted for more than a century, is to identify diseases at a stage at which early intervention can be effective. However, there has been little evidence to support the benefits of such checkups. Choosing wisely (CW) campaigns may represent a tremendous opportunity to eventually shift patients and physicians away from the non-evidence based yet firmly entrenched practice of the general health check-up. As campaign leaders and members of the CW working group of the European Federation of Internal Medicine, we want to join the discussion by giving our perspective based on the best available evidence.

    Abstract Skeletal Class III (SCIII) is among the most challenging craniofacial dysmorphologies to treat. There is, however, a knowledge gap regarding which syndromes share this clinical phenotype. The aims of this study were to: (i) identify the syndromes affected by the SCIII phenotype; (ii) clarify the involvement of maxillary and/or mandibular structures; (iii) explore shared genetic/molecular mechanisms. A two-step strategy was designed: [Step#1] OMIM, MHDD, HPO, GeneReviews and MedGen databases were explored; [Step#2]: Syndromic conditions indexed in [Step#1] were explored in Medline, Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, WOS and OpenGrey. Eligibility criteria were defined. Individual studies were assessed for risk of bias using the New Ottawa Scale. For quantitative analysis, a meta-analysis was conducted. This scoping review is a hypothesis-generating research. Twenty-two studies met the eligibility criteria. Eight syndromes affected by the SCIII were targeted: Apert syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, achondroplasia, X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLED), tricho-dento-osseous syndrome, cleidocranial dysplasia, Klinefelter and Down syndromes. Despite heterogeneity between studies [p < 0.05], overall effects showed that midface components were affected in Apert and Down Syndromes, lower face in Klinefelter Syndrome and midface and lower face components in XLED. Our review provides new evidence on the craniofacial characteristics of genetically confirmed syndromes exhibiting the SCIII phenotype. Four major regulatory pathways might have a modulatory effect on this phenotype. IMPACT: What does this review add to the existing literature? To date, there is no literature exploring which particular syndromes exhibit mandibular prognathism as a common trait. Through this research, it was possibly to identify the particular syndromes that share the skeletal Class III phenotype (mandibular prognathism) as a common trait highlighting the common genetic and molecular pathways between different syndromes acknowledging their impact in craniofacial development.

    Abstract Cancer diagnosis and therapeutics have been traditionally based on pathologic classification at the organ of origin. The availability of an unprecedented amount of clinical and biologic data provides a unique window of opportunity for the development of new drugs. What was once treated as a homogeneous disease with a one-size-fits-all approach was shown to be a rather heterogeneous condition, with multiple targetable mutations that can vary during the course of the disease. Clinical trial designs have had to adapt to the exponential growth of targetable mechanisms and new agents, with ensuing challenges that are closer to those experienced with rare diseases and orphan medicines. To face these problems, precision/enrichment and other novel trial designs have been developed, and the concept of histology-agnostic targeted therapeutic agents has emerged. Patients are selected for a specific agent based on specific genomic or molecular alterations, with the same compound used to potentially treat a multiplicity of cancers, granted that the actionable driver alteration is present. There are currently approved drugs for such indications, but this approach has raised issues on multiple levels. This review aims to address the challenges of this new concept and provide insights into possible solutions and frameworks on how to tackle them.
