Background And Purpose: Hypoxia is one of the basic characteristics of the physical microenvironment of solid tumors. The relationship between radiotherapy and hypoxia is complex. However, there is no radiosensitivity prediction model based on hypoxia genes. We attempted to construct a radiosensitivity prediction model developed based on hypoxia genes for lower-grade glioma (LGG) by using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso).
Methods: In this research, radiotherapy-related module genes were selected after WGCNA. Then, Lasso was performed to select genes in patients who received radiotherapy. Finally, 12 genes (, , , , , , , , , , , and ) were included in the model. A radiosensitivity-related risk score model was established based on the overall rate of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset in patients who received radiotherapy. The model was validated in TCGA dataset and two Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) datasets. A novel nomogram was developed to predict the overall survival of LGG patients.
Results: We developed and verified a radiosensitivity-related risk score model based on hypoxia genes. The radiosensitivity-related risk score served as an independent prognostic indicator. This radiosensitivity-related risk score model has prognostic prediction ability. Moreover, a nomogram integrating risk score with age and tumor grade was established to perform better for predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates.
Conclusions: We developed and validated a radiosensitivity prediction model that can be used by clinicians and researchers to predict patient survival rates and achieve personalized treatment of LGG.

This research sought to examine the prevalence and severity of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) in the Chicagoland anatomical body donor population. The study further aimed to elucidate potential demographic risk factors for HFI, including sex, age at death, and structural vulnerability index (SVI), as well as any common comorbidities, as gleaned from death certificates. HFI is an irregular bony overgrowth of the endocranial surface of the frontal bone.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) research is hindered by limited comprehensive analyses of plasma proteome across disease subtypes. Here, we systematically investigated the associations between plasma proteins and cardiovascular outcomes in 53,026 UK Biobank participants over a 14-year follow-up. Association analyses identified 3,089 significant associations involving 892 unique protein analytes across 13 CVD outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is a frequent comorbidity in individuals with hay fever. Identifying risk factors and allergen clusters can aid targeted interventions and management strategies. Objective: This study characterizes PFAS in patients with hay fever and identifies associated risk factors using the mobile health platform, AllerSearch.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.

Objectives: The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID-19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.
Methods: This was an observational follow-up study in the context of the diagnosis and prognosis of DVT.
