Article Abstract
Background: This study explored disparities in characteristics and mortalities among four major transmission groups on antiretroviral therapy in northwest China as well as the survival impact of each transmission route.
Methods: We first examined disparities in demographics and clinical characteristics of the four transmission populations. Kaplan Meier analysis was subsequently conducted to compare survival rates among all groups. At last, Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to analyze the survival impact of a transmission route among seven main categories of survival factors associated with all-cause mortalities.
Results: Survival analysis showed significant differences in all-cause, AIDS- and non-AIDS-related deaths among four HIV populations (all P < 0.05). Using homosexuals as the reference, Cox proportional hazards model further revealed that the risk of all-cause death for blood and plasma donors was significantly higher than that of the reference (aHR: 5.21, 95%CI: 1.54-17.67); the risk of non-AIDS-related death for heterosexuals (aHR: 2.07, 95%CI: 1.01-4.20) and that for blood and plasma donors (aHR: 19.81, 95%CI: 5.62-69.89) were both significantly higher than that of the reference.
Conclusions: Significant disparities were found in characteristics and mortalities among the four transmission groups where mortality disparities were mainly due to non-AIDS-related death. Suggestions are provided for each group to improve their survivorship.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.

Objectives Background: Monocyte anisocytosis (monocyte distribution width [MDW]) has been previously validated to predict sepsis and outcome in patients presenting in the emergency department and mixed-population ICUs. Determining sepsis in a critically ill surgical/trauma population is often difficult due to concomitant inflammation and stress. We examined whether MDW could identify sepsis among patients admitted to a surgical/trauma ICU and predict clinical outcome.

Background: Appendiceal adenocarcinomas and low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are rare tumours. Much of the existing knowledge is derived from registry-based studies, particularly the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in the USA.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Swedish Cancer Registry, Swedish Cause of Death Registry, and the National Patient Registry to analyse demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients diagnosed with appendiceal adenocarcinoma or LAMN between 2005 and 2019.

Delayed sternal closure (DSC) is frequently utilized to facilitate the recovery of myocardial function and edema following the Norwood procedure. At our institution, most patients undergo primary sternal closure (PSC), unless specified high-risk characteristics are present. We sought to analyze the outcomes of our approach.

BACKGROUND This study reports on 2 cases of cervical melanoma with similar presentations but at different stages, and the treatment strategy varied accordingly, and we review the literature on the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of cervical melanoma. CASE REPORT Case 1: A 69-year-old woman with abnormal vaginal bleeding was diagnosed with advanced cervical melanoma, staged as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage IVB, involving multiple metastases. Despite chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy (nivolumab), the disease progressed rapidly, and the patient died 4 months after diagnosis.
