Risk factors and prediction models for recurrent acute ischemic stroke: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide, with a high risk of recurrence that severely impacts the quality of life of patients. Therefore, identifying and analyzing the risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke is crucial for the prevention and management of this disease.

Methods: A total of 114 cases of recurrent acute ischemic stroke patients admitted from July 2017 to March 2021 were selected as the observation group, and another 409 cases of initial ischemic stroke patients from the same period as the control group.

Association between the LINC00673 rs11655237 C> T polymorphisms with cancer risk in the Chinese population: A meta-analysis.

Objectives: The present study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of previously published studies in order to clarify the association of long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) LINC00673 rs11655237 C> T polymorphism with cancer risk.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting: Electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database were used to search relevant studies.

Clinical application of red cell distribution width, mean platelet volume, and cancer antigen 125 detection in endometrial cancer.

Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) are considered to be associated with tumors. We investigated the diagnostic value of RDW, MPV, and cancer antigen 125 (CA125), alone or in combination, in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia.

Methods: This study included 144 patients with endometrial cancer (stage I: 32; II: 42; III: 48; and IV: 22), 104 patients with endometrial hyperplasia, and 80 healthy control subjects.
