Article Abstract
Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtypes of lymphoma. Clinical biomarkers are still required for DLBCL patients to identify high-risk patients. Therefore, we developed and validated the platelet-to-albumin (PTA) ratio as a predictor for DLBCL patients.
Methods: A group of 749 patients was randomly divided into a training set (600 patients) and an internal validation set (149 cases). The independent cohort of 110 patients was enrolled from the other hospital as an external validation set. Penalized smoothing spline (PS) Cox regression models were used to explore the non-linear relationship between the PTA ratio and overall survival (OS) as well as progression-free survival (PFS), respectively.
Results: A U-shaped relation between the PTA ratio and PFS was identified in the training set. The PTA ratio less than 2.7 or greater than 8.6 was associated with the shorter PFS. Additionally, the PTA ratio had an additional prognostic value to the well-established predictors. What's more, the U-shaped pattern of the PTA ratio and PFS was respectively validated in the two validation sets.
Discussion: A U-shaped association between the PTA ratio and PFS was found in patients with DLBCLs. The PTA ratio can be used as a biomarker, and may suggest abnormalities of both host nutritional aspect and systemic inflammation in DLBCL.

Background: Limited treatment options exist for infrapopliteal disease in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a condition associated with a high risk of limb loss. Interventional management of diseased infrapopliteal vessels with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with high rates of restenosis and reintervention. In the LIFE-BTK trial, the drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) demonstrated superior 12-month efficacy compared with PTA in a selected CLTI population with predominantly noncomplex, mildly to moderately calcified lesions.

Introduction: Newborn hearing screening is essential for the early detection of hearing loss, enabling timely intervention that supports communication and academic success. However, some children may develop delayed-onset hearing loss, which can go undetected without ongoing monitoring. Even mild hearing loss can affect educational development, highlighting the importance of preschool hearing screening.

Background: Primary patellar dislocation is a relatively uncommon knee injury but carries a high risk of recurrence, particularly in young and physically active adolescent individuals. Anatomical features of the patellofemoral joint have been implicated as key contributors to instability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate anatomical risk factors associated with recurrent patellar dislocation following a primary traumatic event, using MRI-based parameters.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) represents a challenging clinical entity with variable prognosis. Audiometric curve configuration has been proposed as a predictor of recovery. This study aimed to evaluate the association between audiogram morphology at onset and hearing outcome in patients with idiopathic unilateral SSNHL treated with standardized therapy.

Renal artery involvement (RAI) can cause renovascular hypertension and/or organ dysfunction in Takayasu arteritis (TA). The literature includes few data regarding renal involvement in pediatric-onset TA patients. We aimed to describe the renal characteristics, management, and outcomes in TA patients with RAI.
