CONCLUSION: ICG fluorescence achieved a higher SLN IR, shorter detection time, higher sensitivity, lower FNR, and fewer tracer-related adverse events than PBV as a single tracer for SLNB in patients with early-stage breast cancer. These findings suggest that ICG is a promising standalone tracer when radioisotope mapping is unavailable. Larger multicenter studies are required before… →

CONCLUSIONS: A cornea-specialized LLM enhanced with RAG improved diagnostic accuracy in complex corneal cases, particularly among clinicians with lower baseline performance. Effects on management accuracy were inconsistent. Future studies should explore the use of open-ended management tasks and examine whether smaller, curated retrieval corpora yield better model performance. →

CONCLUSIONS: The Kid’s Trial demonstrates the feasibility of a decentralized, child-led RCT cocreated through participatory citizen-science methods. Children can meaningfully contribute to trial design and conduct, and experiential participation may support engagement with trial concepts. Future studies should enhance engagement through community partnerships, shorter intervals between steps, and embedded learning assessments to improve inclusivity and… →

CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrates that the effect of self-monitoring on weight loss is time-dependent. While a higher frequency of self-monitoring is associated with greater weight loss early in the intervention, its influence decreases as time progresses. These findings emphasize the importance of sustained engagement with self-monitoring rather than focusing solely on frequency, suggesting that interventions… →

CONCLUSIONS: In STEMI patients, a single bolus of r-SAK before PCI was associated with numeric reductions in post-PCI angio-IMR, MVO, MVO extent and IS. Additionally, angio-IMR exhibited a significantly positive correlation with both MVO extent and IS, demonstrating the diagnostic value of this wire-free method for assessing microvascular injury. →

CONCLUSION: First-line treatment with serplulimab in combination with bevacizumab and chemotherapy demonstrated promising antitumor activity and acceptable safety in R/M cervical cancer. These findings support further evaluation in phase III trials. →

CONCLUSION: Combined HBOT and rTMS therapy demonstrates superior efficacy in improving cognitive function which may be mediated by the primary somatosensory cortex and primary motor cortex of the brain. However, the combined regimen did not yield greater improvement in daily function or mood. Combined HBOT + rTMS is a promising cognitive rehabilitation strategy in the… →

CONCLUSION: ADT effectively achieves hormonal suppression in prostate cancer; however, differences between LHRH agonists influence clinical and metabolic outcomes. Leuprolide 22.5 mg showed superior PSA reduction but higher rates of vasomotor symptoms and weight gain, while goserelin 10.8 mg was associated with hormonal instability and cardiovascular risk. Genetic findings suggest that BRCA2 variants may affect… →

For this final issue of MIT Sloan Management Review, Benjamin Laker and Maria Papacosta offer advice on ending things well. In that spirit, we want to reflect on the impact our editorially independent publication has had in its 67 years. Over the past few months, we’ve been buoyed by many messages and online comments validating… →
