Article Abstract
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs (b/ts DMARDs) face increased serious infection risk. This study developed and validated a machine learning model to predict one-year risk using data from Hong Kong's CDARS and the U.S. All of Us database. Among 3,159 CDARS and 1,845 All of Us patients, AUROCs were 0.840 and 0.729. Key predictors included prior infections, diabetes, DMARD type, and inflammatory markers. Rituximab posed the highest risk. The model supports personalized RA treatment and infection prevention.

Introduction: The high mortality of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) highlights the need for safe and effective antiviral treatment. Small molecular antivirals (remdesivir, molnupiravir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) and immunomodulators (baricitinib, tocilizumab) have been developed or repurposed to suppress viral replication and ameliorate cytokine storms, respectively. Despite U.

Purpose: Lung cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious threat to human health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes associated with lung cancer. Understanding the mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis and detecting disease biomarkers may enable early diagnosis of lung cancer.

The incidence of oral cavity cancers in the UK is rising. Asian/Asian British ethnic groups and socioeconomically deprived groups are at highest risk with some evidence of worse disease outcomes in South Asian individuals receiving radiotherapy. This variation in incidence and outcomes underscores the urgent need for action.

This study identified cardiac comorbidities, prematurity, low 5-min Apgar score, and prolonged postoperative intubation as independent risk factors for NIs following surgical repair of EA. We believe that these results would be of great value in clinical practice. They provide a valuable framework for the early identification of high-risk neonates, who would be targets for enhanced infection surveillance, appropriate perioperative strategies, and reinforced hygiene protocols.
