Article Abstract
Background/aim: The aim of the study was to contribute to the development of adaptive risk stratification methods specific to Asian multiple myeloma (MM) patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
Patients And Methods: We conducted this study to evaluate the prognostic impact of genetic abnormalities detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on survival outcomes in combination with the International Staging System (ISS) classification in 161 MM patients. This was a single-center retrospective longitudinal cohort study of newly diagnosed MM patients undergoing ASCT within 12 months from initial diagnosis. A single-center retrospective cohort study of newly diagnosed MM.
Results: Patients were divided into 3 groups according to risk stratification: 1) low-risk, patients without del(17p13) nor t(14;16) or t(4;14) and ISS I/II; 2) high-risk, patients with t(4;14), regardless of ISS stage; 3) intermediate-risk, all remaining patients. The median PFS for the low-risk group was 18 months versus 13 months for the intermediate group (p=0.047, HR=1.527, 95%CI=1.006-2.316) versus 10 months for the high-risk group (p<0.001, HR=2.656, 95%CI=1.572-4.490).
Conclusion: An ISS/FISH-based prognostication strategy was developed that can predict PFS for Asian MM patients undergoing ASCT.

Combined SHR and SIRI biomarkers predict increased coronary heart disease risk in type 2 diabetes.
Biomol Biomed
September 2025
Department of Cardiology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality; patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at particularly high risk, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification. We investigated whether combining the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) improves CHD detection in T2DM. In this retrospective cohort of 943 T2DM patients undergoing coronary angiography, associations of SHR and SIRI with CHD were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines; robustness was examined with subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Department of Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Children's Hospital Colorado.
Background: Craniosynostosis repair is traditionally performed at high-volume academic centers with multidisciplinary teams. Access barriers in rural or suburban regions raise the question of whether comparable outcomes can be achieved and if this surgery can be performed safely in community settings.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of cranial vault reconstruction for craniosynostosis performed at a community-based children's hospital and compare these outcomes to those reported at academic institutions.
Association between diabetes duration and risk of pancreatic cancer: a meta-analysis of observational studies.
Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol
September 2025
Background: Prior studies have implicated diabetes as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, yet the impact of diabetes progression on pancreatic cancer incidence remains unclear. We aim to assess pancreatic cancer risk across different stages of diabetes.
Methods: Employing a predefined search strategy, we conducted a literature review of electronic databases up to 29 February 2024.
Outcomes of Sinus Surgery and Orbital Reconstruction in Silent Sinus Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology, Division of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shiley Eye Institute, University of California, San Diego.
This study evaluates the clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of silent sinus syndrome (SSS), with emphasis on the efficacy of simultaneous sinus and orbital surgery. A retrospective review was performed of 35 patients diagnosed with SSS at a tertiary care center between January 2004 and April 2024. All patients had radiographic evidence of maxillary sinus atelectasis and orbital floor resorption.

Purpose: Tumor comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) may detect potential germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) alterations as secondary findings. We analyzed the frequency of potentially germline variants and large rearrangements (LRs) in the RATIONAL study, an Italian multicenter, observational clinical trial that collects next-generation sequencing-based tumor profiling data, and evaluated how these findings were managed by the enrolling centers.
Patients And Methods: Patients prospectively enrolled in the pathway-B of the RATIONAL study and undergoing CGP with the FoundationOne CDx assays were included in the analysis.
