    Abstract Introduction: There are substantial unmet needs with regards to adjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder, including patients with persistent disease histologically following neoadjuvant platinum-based therapy and radical resection, as well as patients who are not eligible for or refuse cytotoxic chemotherapy. As such, increased interest has been developed in advancing the use of systemic immunotherapy in the postoperative setting.
    Areas covered: We begin by examining current uses of systemic immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced UC. We also review emerging neoadjuvant data and describe current adjuvant approaches. We then report and analyze data on adjuvant immunotherapy, including the recent randomized trials on adjuvant nivolumab and atezolizumab, and conclude with a discussion on the available evidence and likely directions of the field.
    Expert opinion: Systemic immunotherapy can serve to enhance postoperative therapies for muscle-invasive bladder UC, as exemplified by the recent approval of nivolumab. Further research will serve to define optimal immunotherapy timing and combinations with other systemic therapies, as well as identify predictive biomarkers to allow effective tailoring of therapy for each patient.

    Abstract Patients with urothelial carcinoma tend to be older and frailer with a large number of chronic medical conditions. This is particularly pronounced in those with unresectable locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Prior to 2016, treatment options in advanced urothelial carcinoma were limited to chemotherapy, and as a result, a large number of patients were not receiving disease-directed management. Over the last 6 years, multiple alternative modalities including immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies have been introduced. They are being utilized clinically in older and frail patients, but there are limited studies investigating outcomes in these specific populations. Based upon current evidence, age does not impact the efficacy and tolerance of immune checkpoint inhibitors if patients are fit enough to receive therapy. In frailer patients, immune checkpoint inhibitors appear to be safe, but outcomes from largely retrospective studies demonstrate mixed data regarding their efficacy. Although there are indications from clinical trials that enfortumab vedotin, sacituzumab govitecan, and erdafitinib are also efficacious irrespective of age, there is still not enough evidence to draw definitive conclusions about their use in older and frail patients. Regardless, in all older patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, it is critical to evaluate for frailty through geriatric screening tools and comprehensive assessments. Combining these evaluations with consideration of an individual patient's goals should be the foundation upon which therapeutic decisions are made in this population of patients.

  5. Article ; Online: A Plea for the Use of Video-recorded Cystoscopy for Blinded Independent Central Review of Tumor Response in Open-label Non-muscle invasive Bladder Cancer Trials.

    Abstract Given that most of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer trials available in the literature share the same limitation of an open-label design, they are likely prone to detection bias. Indeed, tumor response is currently assessed by unblinded investigators, mainly via follow-up cystoscopy, which has well-known intraobserver and interobserver variability. Thus, we believe that the use of video-recorded cystoscopy for blinded independent central review of tumor response could help to minimize detection bias in open-label NMIBC trials.

    Title translation Contact tracing in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. The fundamental role of Primary Health Care and Public Health.
    Abstract The aim of this study was to promote the rapid identification of the contacts of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and therefore the control of the pandemic. Different methodologies and recommendations on contact tracing for Primary Health Care (PHC) and Public Health Services (PHS), like articles in Pubmed about COVID-19 and contact tracing, official contact definitions, the classic contact tracing model in tuberculosis (TB), information about apps for contact tracing and the role of the diagnostic tests, were reviewed. To establish efficient prevention and control measures, it is always necessary to implement contact tracing based on clinical suspicion, early diagnosis and isolation of cases and contacts and their follow-up. The classic contact tracing model in TB can be applied to this new infection, but accelerating the process given its acute nature and its potential severity. Good coordination between PHC and PHS and having sufficient resources is essential.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a focal vibration protocol added to an activation protocol with active muscle contractions and to see what repercussions it has on sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ), and lower limb isometric strength. A double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in the Functional Anatomy Laboratory and the sample consisted of 70 athletes. The main outcome measures were knee extension force, CMJ, sprint, and surface electromyography. Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed significant improvements. They were found in the within-group analysis for the Experimental Group in the isometric extension force (p < 0.001; η

    Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a complex rare disorder characterized by progressive muscle dysfunction, involving weakness, myotonia, and wasting, but also exhibiting additional clinical signs in multiple organs and systems. Central dysregulation, caused by an expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the DMPK gene's 3' UTR, has led to exploring various therapeutic approaches in recent years, a few of which are currently under clinical trial. However, no effective disease-modifying treatments are available yet. In this study, we demonstrate that treatments with boldine, a natural alkaloid identified in a large-scale Drosophila-based pharmacological screening, was able to modify disease phenotypes in several DM1 models. The most significant effects include consistent reduction in nuclear RNA foci, a dynamic molecular hallmark of the disease, and noteworthy anti-myotonic activity. These results position boldine as an attractive new candidate for therapy development in DM1.
