Impact of sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors on functional and health-related quality of life outcomes 24 months after radical prostatectomy.

Introduction And Objectives: High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with improved oncological outcomes across various cancer types, including prostate cancer. However, limited evidence exists regarding the impact of SES and lifestyle factors on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including quality of life (QoL), health status (HS), and functional recovery following radical prostatectomy (RP).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of 327 patients undergoing RP (177 open, 150 robotic-assisted) assessing pre- and postoperative functional outcomes (QoL, HS, erectile function, continence).

Machine learning-based analysis of the impact of 5' untranslated region on protein expression.

Nucleic Acids Res

School of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guangdong University of Technology, No. 100 Waihuanxi Road, Guangzhou 510006, China.

The 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) plays a crucial regulatory role in messenger RNA (mRNA), with modified 5'UTRs extensively utilized in vaccine production, gene therapy, etc. Nevertheless, manually optimizing 5'UTRs may encounter difficulties in balancing the effects of various cis-elements. Consequently, multiple 5'UTR libraries have been created, and machine learning models have been employed to analyze and predict translation efficiency (TE) and protein expression, providing insights into critical regulatory features.

Background: Although traditionally reserved for unresectable lesions, recent studies have provided evidence that in selected patients, microwave ablation (MWA) may provide similar oncologic outcomes compared to liver resection (LR). This study aimed to compare oncologic outcomes of patients with solitary small (<3 cm) colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing LR vs laparoscopic MWA.

Study Design: This retrospective study included patients with a solitary CRLM <3cm treated with LR or MWA in three centers over 25-years.
