A clinical scoring system for the early identification of superinfections in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome: An ambispective multicentre cohort study

Background Superinfection is a major contributor to mortality in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). However, early identification remains challenging because detection of the pathogen causing the superinfection is often delayed. Objective This study...

Characteristics of mechanically stimulated genes in hepatocellular carcinoma and their role as prognostic markers

Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high heterogeneity. Mechanical stimuli in the tumor microenvironment (TME) regulate HCC cell biological behavior via mechanosensitive-related genes (MSRGs), but their...

Effect of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in stellate ganglion block on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing thyroid cancer surgery: a randomized double-blind controlled trial

Postoperative sleep disturbance is common after thyroid cancer surgery and may delay recovery. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) can regulate sympathetic activity, but single local anesthetic blockade has limited duration. This trial aimed to evaluate whether perineural addition of d...

Reproducibility and validity of dietary polyphenols derived from 24-hour dietary recalls in the Anhui Lifestyle Validation Study

Abstract While 24-hour dietary recalls (24HDRs) are increasingly used to assess polyphenol-disease associations, their performance for measuring total dietary polyphenols and their subclasses remains unknown. In the Anhui Lifestyle Validation Study, 432 community-dwelling adults...

Derivation of a novel risk assessment model of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized patients

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Despite the existence of various VTE risk assessment models (RAMs), their performance...
