Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognosis trajectories in ischemic stroke(IS).
Methods: Patients from two tertiary hospitals in Suzhou were included in this study. SII was calculated as neutrophils×platelets/lymphocytes, and patients were categorized into quartiles based on SII values. Latent class growth modeling (LCGM) was employed to describe the trajectories of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at different time points.Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between SII quartiles and prognosis trajectories at multiple time points (14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months)and prognostic trajectories.
Results: Patients in the highest quartile (Q4) of SII had a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes compared to those in the lowest quartile (Q1). A three-group model was identified as the optimal trajectory model for stroke prognosis. SII was associated with 4.06-fold increased odds (95% CI: 1.64-10.08) of unfavorable prognosis trajectories. Per standard deviation increase in the logarithmic SII, the odds of unfavorable prognosis trajectories were 1.64 (95% CI: 1.18-2.29).
Conclusions: Baseline SII is significantly associated with unfavorable outcome trajectories across multiple time points in IS. These findings highlight the potential value of SII as a predictive biomarker for sequential prognosis in stroke patients.

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.

Intrinsic genetic alterations and dynamic transcriptional changes contribute to the heterogeneity of solid tumors. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is characterized by its significant histological, cellular and molecular heterogeneity. The present study aimed to study the spatial transcriptomics of primary LUAD with initial hopes to decipher molecular characteristics of subtype transitions in LUAD progression, offering new insights for novel therapeutic strategies.

Osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent primary bone malignancy in adolescents, is characterized by aggressive progression and early metastasis. However, the epigenetic drivers of its metastatic heterogeneity remain poorly understood. Herein, we integrated bulk DNA methylation profiling and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to elucidate the epigenetic mechanisms driving OS metastatic heterogeneity.

Objective: To examine how communication needs regarding prognosis, treatment options, and palliative care evolve over time for patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers, particularly as patients approach the end-of-life.
Methods: This mixed-methods study surveyed 272 patients at a California healthcare system from October 2019-November 2021 at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after identification of advanced cancer. Additionally, 24 family caregivers were interviewed between March 2021-May 2022.

As the prevalence of dementia rises exponentially globally, instituting practices to support the dying process of people affected by dementia is a public health priority. However, end-of-life quality indicators such as place of death provide limited information about the totality of the dying process. Hence, this study's aim was to identify factors affecting the relatively understudied concept of final place of care (where care was received in the last three days of life i.
