Serum Calcium Level at Diagnosis Can Predict Lethal Prostate Cancer Relapse.

: The most important prognostic factors in curatively treated prostate cancer are T and N stage, histology, grade group and initial PSA. A recent study found that men with blood calcium levels at the high end of the normal range are over two-and-a-half times more likely to develop fatal prostate cancer than those with lower calcium levels. However, there is limited evidence regarding the prognostic value of calcium levels at the time of prostate cancer diagnosis.

COVID-19 mortality prediction in Hungarian ICU settings implementing random forest algorithm.

The emergence of newer SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) profoundly changed the ICU demography; this shift in the virus's genotype and its correlation to lethality in the ICUs is still not fully investigated. We aimed to survey ICU patients' clinical and laboratory parameters in correlation with SARS-CoV-2 variant genotypes to lethality. 503 COVID-19 ICU patients were included in our study beginning in January 2021 through November 2022 in Hungary.

Molecular Dynamics Study of Nanoribbon Formation by Encapsulating Cyclic Hydrocarbon Molecules inside Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube.

Carbon nanotubes filled with organic molecules can serve as chemical nanoreactors. Recent experimental results show that, by introducing cyclic hydrocarbon molecules inside carbon nanotubes, they can be transformed into nanoribbons or inner tubes, depending on the experimental conditions. In this paper, we present our results obtained as a continuation of our previous molecular dynamics simulation work.
