Early persistent-pattern acute kidney injury and short- and long-term mortality in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction: a 72-hour landmark cohort study using MIMIC-IV v3.1

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with mortality, yet most studies treat AKI as a static event. We examined whether early AKI trajectories were associated with short- and long-term mortality among critically...

Effects of Alkaline Mineral Complex Water Supplementation in the Diet on the Oxidative Stress, Immunity and Health of Lactating Cows

Mid-lactation represents a critical production phase for high-yield dairy cows, where nutrient imbalance can compromise animal health and farm profitability. This study investigated the effects of dietary alkaline mineral complex (AMC)–water supplementation on milk yield, blood b...

Diagnostic Utility of Complete Blood Count Indices in Ferritin‐Defined Microcytosis Among United States Women Aged 18–49 Years

ABSTRACT Introduction Complete blood count (CBC) discrimination indices are widely used as low‐cost triage tools for microcytosis, but their diagnostic utility in population‐based samples with ferritin‐defined iron status is uncertain. We evaluated whether commonly used indices d...

Prenatal exposure to metal mixtures and newborn birth size in an industrial city: Evidence from cord blood metabolomics

Background Prenatal exposure to metal mixtures may influence newborn birth size, but the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of 19 individual maternal metals and metal mixtures during pregnancy with birth size indicators,...

Factors associated with Gleason score upgrading in biopsy-proven Gleason 6 prostate cancer: a retrospective cohort study

The present study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative pathological upgrading in patients with biopsy Gleason score 6(bGS6), and to explore whether relevant clinical parameters can stratify patients at high risk of upgrading. A total of 241 patients wh...
