Integrative clinical–genomic modeling evaluates exploratory Non-APOE candidate signals in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a genetic architecture dominated by APOE , while predictive modeling in clinically enriched cohorts is often driven by neuropsychological and clinical variables. This combination limits the interpretability of secondary genetic signals...

Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Reducing Intestinal Edema After Traumatic Liver Injury with Abdominal Packing: An Experimental Animal Study

Background: Traumatic liver injury in severe trauma and temporary abdominal closure can lead to postoperative intestinal edema and inflammation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may mitigate these effects by modulating inflammatory pathways. This study investigated the effects of...

CT–measured diaphragmatic crus cross-sectional area and its association with short-term outcomes in acute exacerbations of COPD

Risk stratification for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in the emergency department (ED) is challenging. Conventional scoring systems, such as the Ottawa COPD Risk Scale (OCRS) and the Dyspnea, Eosinopenia, Consolidation, Acidemia, and Atrial...

Domain-Specific Cognitive Concordance in Older Married Couples

Importance Spousal similarity in late-life cognition has been reported, but whether concordance differs across cognitive domains remains unclear. Objective To examine whether cognitive concordance among older married couples is domain specific by comparing real couples with demog...

Feasibility and mid-term outcomes of simultaneous robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and transurethral resection of bladder tumor: a single-center case series

To describe the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of simultaneous robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) in patients with localized prostate cancer and concomitant non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). We...

Glomerular hyperfiltration in dipstick-negative type 2 diabetes mellitus: a novel determinant of kidney function decline in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Background: The independent impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on kidney outcomes beyond albuminuria remains unclear. We evaluated whether T2DM affects kidney outcomes in individuals with normal kidney function without albuminuria. Methods: Data from the National Health In...

Nutritional support for critically ill patients by the Korean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition—part II: a clinical practice guideline

Purpose: Nutritional therapy is an essential component of intensive care management. Appropriate nutritional support may reduce infectious and metabolic complications and promote recovery in critically ill patients. However, nutritional practices vary across institutions, and int...
