Background: Prediction of outcome after stroke is critical for treatment planning and resource allocation but is complicated by fluctuations during the first days after onset. We propose a machine learning model that can provide hourly predictions based on the integration of continuous variables acquired within 72 h of hospital admission.

Methods: We analyzed 2492 admissions for ischemic stroke in the Geneva University Hospital from 01.

Article Synopsis
  • A study assessed the COHEC programme, which uses cardiac coherence and medical hypnosis to help reduce preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing breast and gynecological cancer surgeries.
  • The programme involved daily sessions starting a week before the surgery, with a focus on patient adherence, anxiety levels, satisfaction, and postoperative recovery.
  • Results indicated that 64.2% of participants adhered to the programme, leading to decreased anxiety levels in those with severe anxiety, and 94% expressed interest in continuing the programme.

Introduction: Management of infection on internal fixation hardware is particularly complex. The main aim of the present study was to assess bone consolidation rates under septic conditions in patients treated for bone and joint infection (BJI) with hardware retention. Secondary objectives were to determine a time limit beyond which it is unreasonable to retain hardware, and to assess risk factors for non-consolidation and functional results.

Loss-of-function (LoF) variants in the lipid transporter ABCA7 significantly increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (odds ratio ∼2), yet the pathogenic mechanisms and the neural cell types affected by these variants remain largely unknown. Here, we performed single-nuclear RNA sequencing of 36 human samples from the prefrontal cortex of 12 ABCA7 LoF carriers and 24 matched non-carrier control individuals. ABCA7 LoF was associated with gene expression changes in all major cell types.

Article Synopsis
  • Adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) using memory-like natural killer (NK) cells activated with specific cytokines shows promise in treating blood cancers, especially when combined with new fusion molecules.
  • The multifunctional fusion molecule HCW9206 improves the expansion of NK cells that have been primed with another molecule (HCW9201), leading to a significant increase in their quantity and activity.
  • The "Prime and Expand" strategy enhances NK cell metabolism and durability, making it a more efficient method for preparing clinical-grade NK cells for future cancer treatments.
