Article Abstract

Background: Limited data exist regarding the prognostic implications of social determinants of health (SDOH) and cardiovascular health (CVH) in Chinese community populations.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of SDOH and CVH with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause death.

Methods: Individuals without cardiovascular disease were obtained from the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project. SDOH (educational attainment, economic stability, health care access, social support, and neighborhood) and CVH components were extracted. Participants were divided into groups with low and high burden of unfavorable SDOH and groups with poor, intermediate, and ideal CVH. MACE (a composite of coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death) and all-cause death were identified by linking hospital records with resident identity card number.

Results: Among the cohort (n = 38,571, median age 54 years, 60.5% women), the proportion of individuals with a high burden of unfavorable SDOH was 68.9%, and that with poor CVH was 30.7%. In reference to the group with a low burden of unfavorable SDOH, the adjusted HRs for MACE and all-cause death in the high burden group were 1.18 (95% CI: 1.08-1.30) and 1.35 (95% CI: 1.09-1.68), respectively. In reference to the group with ideal CVH, poor CVH was associated with higher risks for MACE and all-cause death. A high burden of unfavorable SDOH and poor CVH exerted joint effects on all-cause death (HR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.08-4.48).

Conclusions: A high burden of unfavorable SDOH and poor CVH were associated with increased risks for MACE and mortality. Dedicated efforts are needed to address these health disparities.

Background: Stroke persists as the second leading global cause of mortality and disability. We analyzed G20 nations using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data (1990-2021) to provide a new perspective.

Methods: We obtained age-standardized rates (ASR) of stroke mortality, incidence, prevalence, and YLLs (years of life lost) across G20 nations.

This case report describes the use of doxazosin (Cardura) as a treatment for a patient with an autosomal dominant , single-nucleotide R398Q pathogenic variant, which has not previously been described in the literature. The patient has gain-of-function pathogenic genetic variant. Because of the patient's continued seizure burden with the use of traditional antiseizure medications and failed invasive antiseizure interventions, an oocyte cell line with the specific genetic variant was created to test efficacy of various medications.

infection is a frequent cause of sepsis in humans, a disease associated with high mortality and without specific intervention. Clumping factor A (ClfA) displayed on the bacterial surface plays a key role in promoting replication during invasive disease. Decades of research have pointed to a wide array of ligands engaged by ClfA.

Accurate tumor mutation burden (TMB) quantification is critical for immunotherapy stratification, yet remains challenging due to variability across sequencing platforms, tumor heterogeneity, and variant calling pipelines. Here, we introduce TMBquant, an explainable AI-powered caller designed to optimize TMB estimation through dynamic feature selection, ensemble learning, and automated strategy adaptation. Built upon the H2O AutoML framework, TMBquant integrates variant features, minimizes classification errors, and enhances both accuracy and stability across diverse datasets.
