If Newcastle beat Arsenal tomorrow, they’ll go 2nd in the table. Eddie Howe hasn’t had a single first-team signing across the last three windows. He’s been without his best CB (Botman) for most of the season and lost his best LB (Lewis Hall) for the crucial final months. He’s had to run Isak into the ground due to Wilson’s injury issues, and lost both Minteh and Anderson in the summer — players who 100% would’ve helped this squad. Despite all that, he’s gotten the very best out of players like Murphy, Schär, and Joelinton — guys who were already at the club under Steve Bruce. He’s delivered Newcastle’s first domestic trophy in 70 years… and could still finish above Arsenal and Man City, two pre-season title favourites.

BREAKING from @NEJM In cancer patients w/ Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolism, reduced-dose apixaban (2.5 mg BID) is : 🔘Noninferior to full-dose (5 mg BID) for VTE recurrence 🔘Lower bleeding risk (12.1% vs. 15.6%) 🔘Safer extended anticoagulation, same protection. #Thrombosis #cancer @OncoAlert @Cihan_Ay_MD DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2416112

Important recent @AnnSurgOncol study from @WashUSurgery looking retrospectively at long-term outcomes of near-complete responses who undergo #WatchAndWait for rectal cancer. Almost all patients received SCRT followed by consolidation chemo-->48% cCR, 28% near-complete (NCR), and 24% incomplete The NCRs (n=61) had a median f/u of 27 months: 6.6% developed distant metastasis and 41% developed local regrowth. The next part is important! Please keep reading! 64% of NCRs evolved into cCRs within 3-6 months. Of those, only 15% (6/39) developed local regrowth. 36% of NCRs continued to be NCRs (ulcers, nodularities, abnormal MRIs), and 86% of these (19/22) developed local regrowth. 21 patients underwent salvage surgery with 95%=R0. Unfortunately, 4/21 (19%) developed local recurrence after surgery. What does this mean to me? Near-complete responses can evolve into cCRs in 3-6 months, and have excellent outcomes with watch-and-wait...they just needed a little more time. However, if the irregularity remains after 3-6 months, I'm putting that rectum in a bucket. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3998…

Excellent @DCRjournal study from @JonVogel7 and team looking at 545 US patients with rectal cancer undergoing watch-and-wait after a cCR. Only 18 (3%) were MMR deficient. As much as we all hope to find dMMR rectal cancers to treat with immunotherapy, they're very uncommon. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3950…

This probably didn't get as much attention as the latest robot right colon study, but this is an interesting Dutch RCT from @AnnalsofSurgery (epub 11/2023) looking at sacral neuromodulation for slow-transit constipation. Limitations acknowledged, here are the key points: -Patients with obstructive defecation (per defecography) were excluded (no manometry data presented) -Patients in the SNS arm had to show symptom improvement during a 4-week test prior to implantation (76% of patients showed improvement) -Compared to supportive care, SNS was associated with improved frequency and ease of BMs as well as improved QOL at 6 months f/u, and these results persisted at 12 months f/u. journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…
