Article Abstract
Background: Pleural reaction (PR) frequently occurs during computed tomography (CT) -guided lung puncture procedures, and its development is influenced by various factors. This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with PR in CT-guided percutaneous lung nodule localization (CT-PLNL) procedures.
Methods: This retrospective study included 467 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2022 and December 2023, all of whom had received CT-PLNL. Clinical data, including medical records, imaging findings, and laboratory results, were collected. Univariate analysis and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression identified independent risk factors for PR. Binary logistic regression was performed to further analyze these factors. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to assess model performance, and Bootstrap validation evaluated discriminative ability. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were conducted to compare predicted versus actual probabilities and assess clinical applicability.
Results: The incidence of PR was 5.35% (25/467). Significant variables from univariate analysis and LASSO regression were analyzed by logistic regression. Age, intrapulmonary needle path adjustment, inadequate anesthesia, and a history of diabetes were identified as independent risk factors for PR. ROC curves showed Area Under the Curve (AUC) values indicating excellent discriminative ability. Calibration curves showed appropriate fit, and DCA demonstrated high clinical applicability.
Conclusion: Younger age groups, intraprocedural needle adjustments, inadequate anesthesia, and diabetes were independent risk factors for PR after CT-PLNL. Optimizing anesthesia, avoiding unnecessary needle manipulations, and perioperative glucose monitoring in diabetic patients may mitigate PR risks and enhance procedural safety.

While the cancer genome is well-studied, the nongenetic exposome of cancer remains elusive, particularly for regionally prevalent cancers with poor prognosis. Here, by employing a combined knowledge- and data-driven strategy, we profile the chemical exposome of plasma from 53 healthy controls, 14 esophagitis and 101 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, and 46 esophageal tissues across 12 Chinese provinces, integrating inorganic, endogenous, and exogenous chemicals. We first show that components of the ESCC chemical exposome mediate the relationship between ESCC-related dietary/lifestyle factors and clinic health status indicators.

Importance: Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) may increase risk for dementia. It is unknown whether this association is mediated by dementia-related neuropathologic change found at autopsy.

Importance: Black individuals have a twofold higher rate of prostate cancer death in the US compared with the average population with prostate cancer. Few guidelines support race-conscious screening practices among at-risk Black individuals.
Objective: To examine structural factors that facilitate or impede access to prostate cancer screening among Black individuals in the US.

Purpose: Many mealtime interventions have been developed over the past ten years. The effective implementation of such interventions into clinical practice is crucial to improve the swallowing safety and/or mealtime-related quality of life for people living with dysphagia or at risk of malnutrition. This systematic review summarises and critically appraises the literature on implementation of mealtime interventions in inpatient and aged care settings.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk models routinely adjust for endoscopic screening because of a) possible confounding with other risk factors and b) possible alteration of natural history of the disease due to adenoma detection and removal.
Methods: In this study, we defined a subject as screen-covered (SC) if a colonoscopy was performed in the past 10 years, and not screen-covered (NSC) otherwise. We created CRC risk models separately for SC and NSC subjects (HRSC, HRNSC) and then obtained a screening-coverage adjusted HR estimate (HRfull) based on a weighted average of ln(HRSC) and ln(HRNSC) with weight equal to the proportion of SC person-time in the NHS population.
