Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous disease. Therefore, more reliable biomarkers are required to better predict the prognosis of DLBCL. Cuproptosis is a novel identified form of programmed cell death (PCD) that is different from oxidative stress-related cell death (e.g., apoptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis) by Tsvetkov and colleagues in a recent study released in Science. Cuproptosis is copper-dependent PCD that is closely tied to mitochondrial metabolism. However, the prognostic value of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in DLBCL remains to be further elucidated. In the present study, we systematically evaluated the molecular changes of CRGs in DLBCL and found them to be associated with prognosis. Subsequently, based on the expression profiles of CRGs, we characterized the heterogeneity of DLBCL by identifying two distinct subtypes using consensus clustering. Two isoforms exhibited different survival, biological functions, chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity, and immune microenvironment. After identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CRG clusters, we built a prognostic model with the Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis and validated its prognostic value by Cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In addition, the risk score can predict clinical characteristics, levels of immune cell infiltration, and prognosis. Furthermore, a nomogram incorporating clinical features and risk score was generated to optimize risk stratification and quantify risk assessment. Compared to the International Prognostic Index (IPI), the nomogram has demonstrated more accuracy in survival prediction. Furthermore, we validated the prognostic gene expression levels through external experiments. In conclusion, cuproptosis-related gene signature can serve as a potential prognostic predictor in DLBCL patients and may provide new insights into cancer therapeutic targets.

Background: Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) is a critical medical emergency and is a common cause of illness and death in individuals with liver cirrhosis.
Objective: The point of this study was to check how well the albumin-to-bilirubin ratio (ALBI) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores could predict how these patients would do in the future.
Methods: The Imam Khomeini Hospital gastroenterology department conducted a retrospective examination.

Background: Peripheral nerve injury commonly results in pain and long-term disability for patients. Recovery after in-continuity stretch or crush injury remains inherently unpredictable. However, surgical intervention yields the most favorable outcomes when performed shortly after injury.

Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.

Approximately 30-40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients will develop relapse/refractory disease, who may benefit from novel therapies, such as CAR-T cell therapy. Thus, accurate identification of individuals at high risk of early chemoimmunotherapy failure (ECF) is crucial. Methods.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.
Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.
