Final results of nilotinib versus nilotinib combined with pegylated interferon alfa-2a as first-line therapy in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia in France (PETALs): an open-label, multicentre, randomised phase 3 trial
BACKGROUND: Second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved response rates in patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CP-CML). Phase 2 trials demonstrated increased deep molecular response rates when combining second generation TKIs with pegylated interferon alfa (Peg-IFN). This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of combining nilotinib with Peg-IFN alfa-2a…

Deep Learning-Based Augmented Contrast-Enhancement and Denoising for Reduced-Iodine and Low-Radiation 70-kVp Cerebral CT Angiography: A Prospective Study
CONCLUSION: Cerebral CTA at 70-kVp using ultralow iodine enhanced arterial attenuation but increased image noise compared with the 100-kVp CTA protocol. DL-ACE and DL-DN significantly increased arterial attenuation and reduced image noise, resulting in higher CNR and better subjective image quality.

Effect of multicomponent exercise intervention on multidimensional frailty in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: a secondary analysis of the MIND-STEP randomised clinical trial
BACKGROUND: Frailty is common among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and encompasses physical, cognitive, psychological and social domains, yet randomised evidence on theory-informed multicomponent exercise interventions targeting multidimensional frailty remains limited. This secondary analysis of the MIND-STEP RCT evaluated intervention effects across frailty domains.
