Background: It is known that disorders of mental activity in schizophrenia patients may be caused by an impairment in the actualization of past experience during anticipation (prediction), which leads to impairment in constructing predictions, comparing incoming sensory information with the predictions, and updating the predictions. Previous studies have shown that the probability of an expected event affects the components of event-related potentials in mentally healthy individuals. However, it has not yet been studied how changes in the probability of an expected stimulus influence the behavior of individuals with schizophrenia and their event-related potential measures.

Objective: Anoikis is an anchorage-dependent programmed cell death implicated in multiple pathological processes of cancers; however, the prognostic value of anoikis-related genes (ANRGs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Our study aims to develop an ANRGs-based prediction model to improve prognostic assessment in HCC patients.

Methods: The RNA-seq profile was performed to estimate the expression of ANRGs in HCC patients.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic respiratory disorder characterized by airway inflammation and irreversible airflow limitation. Its marked heterogeneity and complexity pose significant challenges to traditional clinical assessments in terms of prognostic prediction and personalized management. In recent years, the exploration of biomarkers has opened new avenues for the precise evaluation of COPD, particularly through multi-biomarker prediction models and integrative multimodal data strategies, which have substantially improved the accuracy and reliability of prognostic assessments.

Objective: The retrieval of 12 lymph nodes (LNs) remains a crucial criterion for accurate staging and prognosis evaluation in rectal cancer (RC). However, some patients fail to meet this threshold after surgery. This study developed a nomogram model based on clinical variables to predict the probability of retrieving 12 LNs postoperatively.

Background: Tumor deposit (TD) is an independent risk factor associated with recurrence or metastasis for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The scenario in which both TD and lymph node metastasis (LNM) are positive is not clearly illustrated by the current TNM staging system. Simply treating one TD as one or two LNMs by a weighting factor is inappropriate.
