Article Abstract

Background: Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a need for more precise prognostication tools due to the limitations of existing staging systems. This study aims to develop a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) rates in PTL patients, addressing the gap in personalized treatment protocols.

Methods: We analyzed 1469 PTL cases. Cox regression analyses were used to identify key prognostic factors and construct a survival prognostic nomogram. The nomogram's performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis. Additionally, a web-based dynamic nomogram was developed to estimate mortality risk for PTL patients.

Results: The nomogram exhibited high clinical utility and precision as determined by decision curve analysis and ROC curves. Furthermore, a novel risk stratification system was introduced. Kaplan-Meier survival curves illustrated significant differences among various risk groups, reinforcing the nomogram's substantial clinical value in predicting OS for PTL patients (P < 0.0001). SHAP value analysis clarified each variable's specific impact on the outcome.

Conclusions: The nomogram provides a valuable instrument for clinicians to individualize OS predictions for PTL patients, addressing the unmet need for personalized prognostication in this rare malignancy.

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic nomogram for predicting the risk of proximal ureteral impacted calculi, supporting personalized clinical management.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study employed a continuous cohort of 391 patients with proximal ureteral stones treated between January 2021 and April 2024. Data from Longyan People's Hospital (affiliated with Xiamen Medical College) comprised the training set, while independent external validation was performed using data from The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Background: The goal was to explore the impact of the NR1D1 gene on the occurrence, development, and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) using bioinformatics approaches.

Methods: CRC transcriptomic and clinical data from TCGA were analyzed to compare NR1D1 expression in tumors and various clinical stages. Survival differences between high and low NR1D1 expression groups were assessed using the R survival package.

Purpose: Sepsis has high mortality and progresses rapidly, requiring early diagnosis; traditional scoring and lab parameters are limited in non-ICU settings, highlighting the need for biomarker integration and continuous monitoring to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1,098 patients at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province identified sepsis and non-sepsis groups per Sepsis 3.0 criteria, Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic performance of a nomogram integrating clinical parameters with deep learning radiomics (DLRN) features derived from ultrasound and multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting survival, recurrence, and metastasis in patients diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study included 103 patients with histopathologically confirmed TNBC across four institutions. The training group comprised 72 cases from the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang, while the validation group included 31 cases from three external centers.

Studies have reported the special value of PANoptosis in cancer, but there is no study on the prognostic and therapeutic effects of PANoptosis in bladder cancer (BLCA). This study aimed to explore the role of PANoptosis in BLCA heterogeneity and its impact on clinical outcomes and immunotherapy response while establishing a robust prognostic model based on PANoptosis-related features. Gene expression profiles and clinical data were collected from public databases.
