Clinical Study on Early Conservative Tangential Excision Combined with Xenogeneic Dermal Grafting for the Treatment of Extensive Critical Burns

This study demonstrates that performing conservative tangential excision combined with xenogeneic dermal grafting within 12 to 24 hours post-burn for extensive critical burns effectively maintains hemodynamic stability, reduces fluid resuscitation needs and systemic inflammation, and improves clinical outcomes by lowering infection rates, surgical requirements, and hospital stay duration.

Surgical Decision-Making and Treatment Response in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Treated with Primary Surgery or Neoadjuvant Therapy

This retrospective study of 104 invasive lobular carcinoma cases reveals that neoadjuvant systemic therapy yields limited pathological response and fails to significantly increase breast-conserving treatment rates compared to primary surgery, highlighting the challenges of managing ILC's distinct biological features.

Associations between the TyG index and the TG/HDL-C ratio with hypertension in Chinese women: a cross-sectional study

This cross-sectional study of over 52,000 Chinese women demonstrates that higher TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio levels are independently and positively associated with hypertension, exhibiting non-linear dose-response relationships with identified clinical thresholds of TyG > 8.0 and TG/HDL-C > 1.4 that could serve as effective, low-cost screening tools for early risk identification.

Intrinsic Capacity Index and Cross-sectional Associations with Geriatric Outcomes in Community- Dwelling Older Adults

This cross-sectional study developed and validated a feasible Intrinsic Capacity Index (ICI) based on the WHO ICOPE framework, demonstrating that lower ICI scores in community-dwelling older adults are significantly associated with adverse geriatric outcomes such as frailty, functional dependence, and polypharmacy.
