The implementation of varicella vaccinations has profoundly altered the epidemiological landscape of VZV. This narrative review examines the current literature to evaluate the impact of these vaccination programs on the incidence of HZ and PHN. Early mathematical models based on the \"exogenous boosting\" hypothesis predicted a substantial surge in adult HZ due to reduced exposure to circulating wild-type virus. However, long-term epidemiological data demonstrate that the incidence of adult HZ was already increasing prior to the introduction of vaccination programs and did not accelerate post-implementation, suggesting other primary drivers, such as an aging population. This review highlights the significant decline in HZ incidence among vaccinated pediatric populations, as the attenuated vOka vaccine strain is substantially less prone to reactivation than the wild-type virus. Furthermore, HZ that does occur in vaccinated individuals tends to be milder, resulting in a reduced risk of progression to PHN. To address the persistent risk in older adults, a recombinant zoster vaccine is recommended as a highly effective secondary prevention strategy. Despite challenges, such as breakthrough infections and the need for long-term monitoring of vaccine-induced immunity, varicella vaccination remains a cornerstone of public health, offering broad protection across different ages. Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term impact of varicella vaccinations on the incidence of HZ and PHN and to identify additional risk factors for these conditions.","PeriodicalId":74020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Yeungnam medical science","volume":"43 ","pages":"22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13107090/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147476473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to develop a noncontact gait analysis system using red, green, and blue-depth (RGB-D) cameras and to evaluate its potential clinical applicability. A single case study was conducted to assess changes in the gait patterns of a patient with stroke before and after the application of an ankle-foot orthosis. Twenty walking trials were recorded to evaluate the key gait parameters. The custom RGB-D camera-based gait analysis system demonstrated the potential to rapidly quantify key gait parameters in the patient. Compared with normative data, it effectively identified characteristic stroke-related gait impairments such as shorter step lengths and slower gait speeds. However, the intraclass correlation coefficient analysis indicated low measurement reliability. Although the stance time and minimum knee angle on the left and right sides exceeded the standard error of measurement (SEM), no changes exceeded the minimal detectable change (MDC) criteria. Moreover, other gait parameters did not show significant changes beyond SEM or MDC, limiting the interpretability of the results. Therefore, further technological developments and data collection are required to improve test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change.","PeriodicalId":74020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Yeungnam medical science","volume":"43 ","pages":"15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12957859/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146055416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the real-world efficacy of dacarbazine in patients who had previously received pembrolizumab, based on the hypothesis that prior ICI treatment enhances the therapeutic response to subsequent chemotherapy.Methods: This retrospective study included 71 patients with histologically confirmed malignant melanoma treated at Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital (Daegu, Korea) between 2011 and 2023. The patients received dacarbazine for unresectable stage IIIC, IIID, or IV melanoma (American Joint Committee on Cancer, 8th edition).Results: Among the 71 patients, the median patient age was 64 years (range, 25-89 years). When categorized by melanoma subtype, 18 patients (25.4%) had acral melanoma, 40 (56.3%) had cutaneous melanoma, and 13 (18.3%) had mucosal melanoma. Sixteen of the dacarbazine-treated patients had not received pembrolizumab previously (DTI-only group), while 55 had (pem-DTI group). The median progression-free survival was 2.3 months in the DTI-only group and 3.9 months in the pem-DTI group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.246; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.106-0.576; p=0.001). The median overall survival was 6.8 months in the DTI-only group and 19.0 months in the pem-DTI group (HR, 0.198; 95% CI, 0.068-0.574; p=0.003). The duration of response (DoR) was 4.64 months in the DTI group and 8.11 months in the pem-DTI group.Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the DoR to dacarbazine was prolonged following ICI therapy (4.64 months vs. 8.11 months). This indicates that prior ICI treatment may enhance tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy, making dacarbazine a viable option for treating refractory, relapsed, or progressive melanoma.","PeriodicalId":74020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Yeungnam medical science","volume":"43 ","pages":"14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12887124/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145999798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunotherapy has expanded the therapeutic options beyond conventional chemotherapy, leading to the adoption of pembrolizumab-based regimens in both adjuvant and first-line palliative settings. However, in contrast to other tumor types that respond robustly to immune checkpoint inhibitors, the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in TNBC remains modest. Multiple factors contribute to this limited response, including the heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression, presence of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment regulated by complex immunomodulatory pathways, differences in mutational burden and neoantigen presentation, quantity and functional exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and variable synergy with combination partners. Numerous combination strategies have been actively investigated to enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy. Among these, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have shown the most promising results. The phase III ASCENT-04/KEYNOTE-D19 trial demonstrated that the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and pembrolizumab significantly improved progression-free survival in patients with PD-L1-positive metastatic TNBC, establishing this regimen as a potential new first-line standard, pending guideline adoption. Although the overall survival data are still immature, the trend appears to be favorable. Other ADCs are being explored in early phase studies, and targeted therapies such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and protein kinase B inhibitors have also shown preliminary activity in smaller trials. Further refinement of these strategies through biomarker-driven, large-scale studies is warranted to identify the most effective combinations and to improve outcomes in patients with TNBC.","PeriodicalId":74020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Yeungnam medical science","volume":"43 ","pages":"17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12962768/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146127604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals with a history of CVD, thyroid disease, or pregnancy were excluded. Thyroid function was categorized as euthyroid, hypothyroid, or hyperthyroid, based on serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (reference in Koreans, 0.62-6.86 mIU/L). The 10-year CVD risk was estimated using the Predicting Risk of CVD EVENTs calculator.Results: The mean participant age was 54.3±10.1 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.41:1. Although patients with hypothyroid (14.1%) and hyperthyroid (15.7%) statuses showed a higher CVD risk than those with euthyroid status (12.3%), the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.337). However, in the hypothyroid group (n=11), TSH levels showed a moderate correlation with 10-year CVD risk (r=0.603, p<0.05), although this finding should be interpreted with caution owing to the small sample size. After adjusting for diabetes- and thyroid-related variables, TSH level was independently associated with higher estimated 10-year CVD risk, particularly in patients with a glycated hemoglobin level of <7% (adjusted coefficient, 0.17; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.29; p<0.05).Conclusion: Monitoring TSH levels in patients with well-controlled diabetes may provide additional information regarding the risk of CVD; however, prospective studies are needed to confirm the long-term prognostic value.","PeriodicalId":74020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Yeungnam medical science","volume":"43 ","pages":"28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147635303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
