Article Abstract

Objective: The prognosis for patients presenting with a large ischemic core (LIC) following endovascular thrombectomy is relatively poor. This study aimed to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting 3-month unfavorable outcome in patients with anterior circulation occlusion-related LIC who underwent endovascular thrombectomy.

Methods: A retrospective training cohort and a prospective validation cohort of patients with a large ischemic core were studied. The diffusion weighted imaging related radiomic features and pre-thrombectomy clinical features were collected. After the selection of relevant features, a nomogram predicting modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 as an unfavorable outcome was established. The discriminatory value of the nomogram was evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results: A total of 140 patients (mean age 66.3 ± 13.4 years, 35% female) were included in this study, consisting of a training cohort (n = 95) and a validation cohort (n = 45). The percentage of patients with an mRS scores of 0-2 was 30%, 0-3 was 40.7%, and 32.9% were dead. Age, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and two radiomic features, Maximum2DDiameterColumn and Maximum2DDiameterSlice, were identified as factors associated with unfavorable outcome in the nomogram. The nomogram demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.892 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.812-0.947) in the training dataset and 0.872 (95% CI, 0.739-0.953) in the validation dataset.

Interpretation: This nomogram, which includes age, NIHSS score, Maximum2DDiameterColumn, and Maximum2DDiameterSlice, may predict the risk of unfavorable outcome in patients with LIC caused by anterior circulation occlusion.

Background And Aims: Liver metastasis significantly contributes to poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), posing therapeutic challenges due to limited understanding of its mechanisms. We aimed to identify a potential target critical for CRC liver metastasis.

Methods: We analyzed the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases and identified EphrinA3 (EFNA3) as a potential clinically relevant target.

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) commonly occurs following surgical repair of degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors for acute POAF in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for DMR, with a specific focus on the role of preoperative echocardiography.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 1127 DMR patients who underwent mitral valve repair between 2017 and 2022.

Background: The USPSTF recommendation against PSA screening (RAPS) in 2012 resulted in unfavorable changes in prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. However, the effect on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in localized PCa has not been assessed.

Methods: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2021), we identified patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) or radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized PCa.

Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection is commonly used for core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), but its interpretation in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains under discussion.

Method: Using Kyoto Stem Cell Transplantation Group registry data, we included 96 patients who underwent allo-HSCT between 2000 and 2019 for CBF-AML.

Results: To assess MRD, quantitative PCR with GAPDH control was most used.
