Association of atherogenic index of plasma with gestational diabetes mellitus and birth weight outcomes, and the mediating role of blood glucose

AIMS: This study aimed to examine the associations of maternal first-trimester atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and birth weight outcomes, and the mediating role of second-trimester blood glucose. METHODS: [TG (mg/dL)/HDL-C (mg/dL)] from...

Effect of thoracic paravertebral block with liposomal bupivacaine on quality of recovery after video-assisted thoracic surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background The effect of thoracic paravertebral block with liposomal bupivacaine on recovery after video-assisted thoracic surgery remains uncertain. Methods This single-centre, double-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolled ninety adults aged 18 to 65 years who were...

Comparison of SIS-reinforced anastomosis and conventional anastomosis on postoperative AL for middle and low rectal cancer: a study protocol for multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial

Postoperative anastomotic leak (AL) remains a major complication after radical resection of middle and low rectal cancer. Current preventive strategies, such as the creation of a diverting ostomy, effectively mitigate clinical complications. However, they are associated with cons...

Clinical Value of an LDH–CA125–NLR Panel for Diagnosis, Platinum Resistance, and Prognostic Assessment in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

(1) Background/Objective: Routine blood tests may provide useful information at different stages of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) management. This study evaluated continuous lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)...

Scapular pressure distribution and its association with upper limb function in breast cancer survivors following modified radical mastectomy: a cross-sectional study

Upper limb dysfunction remains a frequent challenge for breast cancer survivors following modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Although alterations in scapular function may be relevant to postoperative shoulder impairment, scapular-region...

Depressive Symptoms Trajectories Across the Transition to Cardiovascular Disease in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Multicohort Study

Abstract Aims The long-term depressive symptoms trajectories across the transition to diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain poorly characterized. We aimed to investigate trajectories of depressive symptoms before and after incident CVD in multinational aging populations....

Topography-Mediated Nonlinear Responses of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks to Multi-Gradient Warming and Precipitation Shifts in Northeast China’s Temperate Mountain Forests

Soil organic carbon (SOC) in mountain forest ecosystems exerts critical controls over regional carbon balance and climate feedback loops. This study collected 209 stratified topsoil (0–30 cm) samples across temperate mountain forests of Northeast China, conducted a boosted regres...

Temporal trends and age-period-cohort effects of tuberculosis incidence among older adults in western China, 2005–2020

Abstract Background Tuberculosis remains a major public health challenge in China, and older adults in western China bear a disproportionate burden. This study examined the temporal trends in TB incidence among older adults in western China and assessed the independent effects of...

Longitudinal profiling of upper respiratory tract microbiota and metabolome in hospitalized COVID-19 convalescents: a 3-year prospective cohort study

Long COVID is characterized by persistent, far-reaching effects in convalescent individuals, with pulmonary diffusion impairment emerging as a clinically impactful sequela affecting more than one-third of this population. The salivary microbiome and metabolome, reflecting the ora...

Application of a machine learning model integrating T cell subsets and clinical markers in 28-Day mortality prediction of sepsis patients

To develop a machine learning-based prediction model that integrating T cell subset data with clinical features to predict the 28-day mortality risk in sepsis patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the MIMIC-IV database. Collected data included demographics, T...
