This dual-cohort retrospective study demonstrates that the early lactate-to-albumin ratio is an independent predictor of 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy, suggesting its utility as a valuable biomarker for clinical risk stratification.
A cross-sectional screening of 3,582 Indian long-distance heavy vehicle drivers under the SCOPE initiative revealed a high prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders, particularly white lesions, which are strongly associated with tobacco use and low health awareness, underscoring the urgent need for targeted screening and intervention strategies for this vulnerable population.
This study demonstrates that elevated baseline serum full-length glypican-3 (FL-GPC3) levels serve as an independent negative prognostic biomarker for disease control, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated with atezolizumab and bevacizumab.
This study demonstrates that arteriovenous pulsed pneumatic therapy significantly improves the hemodynamic microenvironment of autologous arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis patients by increasing blood flow and wall shear stress at the anastomosis, thereby offering a promising noninvasive strategy to prevent AVF dysfunction.
This study develops and validates an interpretable, parsimonious machine learning model using early ICU data to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with cirrhosis and sepsis, demonstrating its effectiveness and transportability across both MIMIC-IV and Chinese cohorts.
This prospective comparative study of 50 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients found that while video raster stereography (VRS) correlates significantly with EOS imaging and shows potential for radiation-free monitoring, systematic differences between the two methods prevent VRS from currently replacing EOS for diagnosis or direct clinical interchangeability.
This study analyzes presentation data from four WOFAPS World Congresses (2016–2025) to reveal that pediatric surgery topics are dominated by emergency conditions, common procedures, and congenital anomalies, providing insights to guide future training and research priorities.
This cross-sectional study of 200 hemodialysis patients reveals that treatment adherence is significantly predicted by higher perceived social support, lower depression levels, older age, and female gender, while self-efficacy showed no significant association.
This national multicenter study reveals that the interaction between vitamin A deficiency and elevated serotonin levels exhibits significant sexual dimorphism, specifically modulating core symptoms and neurodevelopmental outcomes in boys with autism spectrum disorder but not in girls.
This cross-sectional study involving 142 Thai individuals with chronic spinal cord injury determined that a body mass index (BMI) cutoff of 22 kg/m² is an effective screening tool for diagnosing obesity, as it correlates significantly with cardiovascular risk and aligns with optimal body fat percentage thresholds.
