Article Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of hematological biomarkers in assessing the risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing immunotherapy and to identify potential risk factors for personalized treatment optimization.

Methods: Clinical data of 274 NSCLC patients who received immunotherapy between April 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into irAEs and non-irAEs groups based on the occurrence of irAEs. Peripheral blood indices within one week before treatment initiation were assessed and compared, including absolute neutrophil count (ANC), lymphocyte count (LYM), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR), and albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR). Kaplan-Meier analysis compared overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), while logistic regression identified independent risk factors for irAEs. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis evaluated predictive performance.

Results: Among the 274 patients, 116 (42.2%) developed irAEs. Compared to the non-irAEs group, the irAEs group exhibited significantly higher ANC, NLR, PLR, and SII, along with lower LYM, AAPR, and AFR as well as lower OS and PFS rates (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that all hematological indicators were independent risk factors for irAEs (P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed an AUC of 0.722 for NLR and 0.829 for the combined model.

Conclusion: Pretreatment assessment of ANC, LYM, NLR, PLR, SII, AAPR, and AFR provides valuable predictive utility for irAEs risk in NSCLC patients undergoing immunotherapy. Integrating these biomarkers into clinical practice may enhance risk stratification and guide personalized treatment strategies to improve safety and therapeutic outcomes.

Introduction: Wave speed (WS) mapping, enabled by omnipolar technology, allows for real-time visualization of local conduction velocity (CV). Its utility in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has not been fully characterized.

Methods And Results: We describe a case series of patients undergoing VT ablation in which WS mapping was applied alongside established techniques such as peak frequency (PF) mapping and isochronal late activation mapping (ILAM).

Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with lobectomy historically standard. Evolving techniques have spurred debate comparing lobectomy and segmentectomy. This study analyzed early postoperative patient-reported symptoms and functional status in patients with early NSCLC undergoing either procedure.

Early prediction of orthodontic gingival enlargement using S100A4: a biomarker-based risk stratification model.

September 2025

Department of Periodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Orthodontic-induced gingival enlargement (OIGE) affects approximately 15-30% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and remains largely unpredictable, often relying on subjective clinical assessments made after irreversible tissue changes have occurred. S100A4 is a well-characterized marker of activated fibroblasts involved in pathological tissue remodeling. This was a cross-sectional precision biomarker study that analyzed gingival tissue samples from three groups: healthy controls (n = 60), orthodontic patients without gingival enlargement (n = 31), and patients with clinically diagnosed OIGE (n = 61).

Background And Aims: This study aimed to describe Crohn's disease perianal fistulizing lesions in patients undergoing surgery over 60 years to compare clinical presentation, management and outcomes with those observed in younger patients.

Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2022, all patients over 60 years old who underwent a first surgical intervention for anal fistula at two medical centers were included. For each patient included, two younger patients who underwent the same surgical procedure during the same period in the same centers were matched for comparison.
