Background: This study aimed to quantitatively examine gastric mucosal nerve density (GMND) in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and analyzed its clinical correlation.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 35 patients with FD and 16 age-and gender-matched healthy controls for comparison of GMND on endoscopic biopsy, scores of Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI), and gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES).
Results: Patients with FD had lower GMND than the control subjects in gastric antrum, body, and fundus.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing an AI model to predict myocarditis and cardiovascular issues in cancer patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, which can improve cancer prognosis but poses cardiovascular risks.
- The researchers reviewed data from 2,258 patients treated between 2011 and 2022, finding that 11.7% experienced serious cardiovascular events related to the therapy.
- The AI model, combining electrocardiogram (ECG) data and patient characteristics, showed strong predictive performance with a 0.72 area under the curve, suggesting it could help identify at-risk patients for better clinical management.
Background And Objective: Relevant research has provided valuable insights into risk factors for bicycle crashes at intersections. However, few studies have focused explicitly on three common types of bicycle crashes on road segments: overtaking, rear-end, and door crashes. This study aims to identify risk factors for overtaking, rear-end, and door crashes that occur on road segments.

Few studies have explored these exposures in relation to multiple myeloma (MM) risk. To further evaluate these associations with NHL and MM risk and identify etiologically relevant exposure timing, we pooled data on 566,693 individuals from 6 United States (U.

While patient portals are being increasingly offered by health services, there are limited data on their use for persons living with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) and/or long-term tracheostomy. This study, conducted at an Australian hospital's home mechanical ventilation and long-term tracheostomy services, aimed to explore the perspectives and attitudes of patients and carers regarding the introduction of a patient portal.
