Investigation of three alternative histopathological scoring methods at the invasive tumour front in colorectal cancer by Walaiphorn Woraharn, Ashley McCulloch, Christopher Bigley, Phimmada Hatthakarnkul, Kathryn Pennel, Peter Alexander, Hester vanWyk, Antonia Roseweir, Jennifer Hay, Noori Maka, James Park, Nigel B Jamieson, Joanne Edwards, Campbell SD Roxburgh

“…High scores with the Karamitopoulou and Taskin methods correlated significantly with adverse prognostic factors, particularly advanced T stage (p < 0.001), N stage (p < 0.001), and the presence of peritoneal involvement (p < 0.001). The survival rate of the TGP method demonstrated that patients with an infiltrative growth pattern had significantly worse CRC survival compared to those with pushing and intermediate growth patterns (p < 0.001) and the TGP method retained its independence as a prognostic factor in multivariable Cox regression analysis only for colon cancer‐specific survival (p < 0.001). …”

“…Objective The aim was to determine symptom patterns of depression, anxiety and stress-related mental disorders in newly sick listed due to common mental disorders in Swedish primary care patients and to examine associations with sick leave diagnosis, also in relation to socioeconomic, work-related and demographic factors.Design Cross-sectional study.Setting Primary care in western Sweden.Participants From a randomised controlled trial, patients aged 18–67, seeking primary care and on sick leave due to depression, anxiety and/or mental stress, in total 341 individuals, during 2018–2020.Primary outcome measures Patterns of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms measured via self-assessment questionnaires (Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale-Self (MADRS-S), General Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7), Karolinska Exhaustion Disorder Scale (KEDS)), sick leave diagnosis, perception of Work Ability Index and job strain via the job strain model.Results A combination of high levels of depressive and stress-related symptoms was more frequent than single symptom clusters among persons with common mental disorders (CMD) on sick leave: 7% of the patients had scores above cut-off for one of the instruments MADRS-S, GAD-7 and KEDS, 12% above cut-off for two and 80% had above cut-off for all three instruments. …”
