Included patients received a median of 2760 (IQR 1110-6415) mg of intravenous (IV) amiodarone during their ICU stay. Receipt of more than or equal to 2700 mg of amiodarone was identified as an independent factor associated with longer ICU LOS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-2.28). In a sensitivity analysis of hospital…[Read more]

About 20-40% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) lacking KIT/PDGFRA mutations show defects in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex. This study uncovers the gene expression profile (GEP) of SDH-deficient GIST in order to identify new signaling pathways or molecular events actionable for a tailored therapy.

We analyzed 36 GIST tumor…[Read more]
