Purpose: This multicenter study aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative complications following tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIP) in hypospadias patients and develop a clinical prediction model.
Methods: Retrospective data from 17 tertiary centers (2018-2021) were analyzed.
Inclusion Criteria: primary TIP surgery with complete anatomical and follow-up data.
Exclusion Criteria: prior urethral surgery, genetic disorders, or incomplete records. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors. A nomogram model was constructed and internally validated using bootstrapping (1000 resamples). Discrimination (AUC) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test) were assessed.
Results: Among 493 patients (median follow-up: 42 months), the complication rate was 23.7% (117/493), including urethrocutaneous fistula (17.6%), stricture (6.5%), and diverticulum (2.8%). Independent predictors were: post-incision urethral plate width (OR: 0.01, 95% CI 0-0.05), glans width (OR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.66-0.98), and urethral defect length (OR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.00-2.16). The nomogram demonstrated moderate discrimination (AUC: 0.723, 95% CI 0.668-0.777) and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow P = 0.382).
Conclusion: A clinical prediction model incorporating post-incision urethral plate width, glans width, and urethral defect length showed acceptable predictive accuracy for TIP complications.

The ability to navigate through one's environment is crucial for maintaining independence in daily life and depends on complex cognitive and motor functions that are vulnerable to decline in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). While previous research suggests a role for mobility in the physical act of navigation, it remains unclear to what extent mobility impairment and perceptions of mobility constraints may modify wayfinding and the recall of environment details in support of successful navigation. Therefore, this study examined the relations among clinical mobility function, concern about falling, and recall of environment details in a clinical sample of MS.

Background And Aims: Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most dangerous and tricky diseases in the field of cardiovascular surgery, severely affecting public health. Recent studies have found that SUMOylation is linked to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, we know very little about the molecular mechanisms of SUMOylation in AD.

Electronic health record (EHR) data are increasingly used to develop prediction models that guide clinical decision making at the point of care. These include algorithms that use high-frequency data, like in sepsis prediction, as well as simpler equations, such as the Pooled Cohort Equations for cardiovascular outcome prediction. Although EHR data used in prediction models are often highly granular and more current than other data, there is systematic and nonsystematic missingness in EHR data as there is with most data.

Background: The rapid advancement of next-generation sequencing has significantly expanded the landscape of precision medicine. However, health care professionals face increasing challenges in keeping pace with the growing body of oncological knowledge and integrating it effectively into clinical workflows. Precision oncology decision support (PODS) tools aim to assist clinicians in navigating this complexity, yet their current functionalities only partially address clinical needs.

Background And Objectives: Years before diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or multiple system atrophy (MSA), mild prodromal manifestations can be detected. Longitudinal follow-up of people with prodromal synucleinopathy, particularly idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), enables in-depth clinical phenotyping of early disease, which could facilitate stratification for clinical trials, provide the definition of appropriate end points, or predict phenoconversion more precisely. The aim of this study was to update and expand on previous studies assessing clinical evolution from iRBD to clinically diagnosed disease, up to 14 years before diagnosis.
