Article Abstract
Purpose: To develop the clinical calculator for mortality of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) using Korean Renal Cancer Study Group (KRoCS) database.
Materials And Methods: Data from 1,115 patients with mRCC treated in 4 hospitals joining KRoCS between 1993 and 2016 were pooled. Five-year survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier curve. A clinical calculator for 5-year mortality was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis and validated externally using dataset including 916 patients from 4 other hospitals.
Results: Overall survival rates and cancer specific survival rate at 5 years were 28.5% and 29.4%, respectively. Among baseline factors, increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (≥4), synchronous metastasis, low albumin (<3.0 g/dL), and low hemoglobin (
Conclusions: A clinical calculator has been developed to quantify the risk of death for individual patients after treatment of mRCC. This tool may be useful for patients or their guardians who want to know their prognosis and to identify patients requiring aggressive therapy and additional supportive measures during and after treatment.

Pre-employment urine drug screening: examining trends in THC-COOH positivity rates post-legalization of recreational cannabis in California - a retrospective review.
J Occup Med Toxicol

Occupational Medicine, Antioch Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente, 4501 Sand Creek Road, Antioch, CA, 94531, USA.
Background: This study examines trends in delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid (THC-COOH) positivity rates in pre-employment urine drug screenings at a single university-based hospital occupational medicine clinic from 2017 to 2022, following California's recreational cannabis legalization in 2016, with sales beginning officially on January 1, 2018.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 21,546 de-identified urine drug screenings from 2017 to 2022 was conducted. Initial screening used instant urine drug immunoassays (50 ng/mL cutoff for THC-COOH), followed by confirmatory gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (15 ng/mL cutoff).
Lung volume segmentation in fetal MRI: super-resolution reconstructions improve inter-rater reliability.

Background: Fetal MRI is increasingly used to investigate fetal lung pathologies, and super-resolution (SR) algorithms could be a powerful clinical tool for this assessment. Our goal was to investigate whether SR reconstructions result in an improved agreement in lung volume measurements determined by different raters, also known as inter-rater reliability.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, fetal lung volumes calculated from both SR reconstructions and the original images were analyzed.
Exercise and nutrition interventions for sarcopenia in cirrhosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Sarcopenia is highly prevalent and associated with poor outcomes in cirrhotic patients. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of exercise, protein supplementation, and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation in treating cirrhotic sarcopenia. PubMed, Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials of exercise, protein supplementation, and/or BCAA supplementation on improving at least one of the sarcopenia features: muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of 5 cmHO positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and end-inspiratory pause (EIP) on airway dead space (V) and its resultant effects on alveolar tidal volume (V) and physiological dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (V/V) in dorsally recumbent anesthetized dogs.
Study Design: Prospective, controlled clinical study.
Animals: Healthy adult dogs (n = 20, > 20 kg) undergoing elective surgery.
