Article Abstract
Genetic factors play a major role in essential tremor (ET) pathogenesis. This study aimed to assess variant burden in ET-associated genes in a relatively large Chinese population cohort. We genotyped 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be associated with ET by multiplex PCR amplicon sequencing assay in 488 familial and sporadic ET patients and 514 healthy controls (HCs). Then, we performed allelic and genotypic association test by Pearson chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. A total of 1002 samples were included in our analysis, consisting of 488 ET patients and 514 sex and age-matched HCs. For rs10937625, the C allele was linked to increased risk of ET (P = 0.019, OR = 1.503, 95% CI = 1.172-1.928). The carriers of the C/C homozygote and C/T heterozygote showed a significantly higher risk of ET, compared with the T/T homozygote under the dominant model (P = 0.019, OR = 1.628, 95% CI = 1.221-2.170). There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of other SNPs between ET patients and healthy controls. Rs10937625 (STK32B) may increase the risk of ET in eastern Chinese population.

This study aims to investigate the predictive value of combined phenotypic age and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and develop a machine learning-based risk prediction model to inform precision prevention and clinical management strategies. The study analyzed data from 784 male participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2001-2008). Phenotypic age was derived from chronological age and nine serum biomarkers.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of combining PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy in conversion therapy for patients with stage IV gastric cancer and to determine the populations most likely to benefit from this regimen.
Methods: Data from patients with stage IV gastric cancer who received conversion therapy with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy between January 2018 and December 2022 at multiple centers were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent conversion surgery were categorized into a surgery group, while those who did not were placed into a palliative group.
Human gastroids to model regional patterning in early stomach development.

The human stomach features distinct, regionalized functionalities along the anterior-posterior axis. Historically, studies on stomach patterning have used animal models to identify the underlying principles. Recently, human pluripotent stem (hPS)-cell-based gastric organoids for modelling domain-specific development of the fundic and antral epithelium are emerging.

Background: Over the past decade, remote (non-face-to-face) services are being increasingly used in primary care, including interactions through telephone and online platforms. These services bring potential benefits as well as potential barriers for patients. Older migrants are a population that could face intersectional barriers when accessing healthcare; it is important to understand the impact of remote services on them.

Objectives: The objectives were to examine the associations between accelerometer-measured circadian rest-activity rhythm (CRAR), the most prominent circadian rhythm in humans and the risk of mortality from all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with cancer.
Methods: 7456 cancer participants from the UK Biobank were included. All participants wore accelerometers from 2013 to 2015 and were followed up until 24 January 2024, with a median follow-up of 9.
