Article Synopsis
- The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which combines serum albumin and lymphocyte counts, may indicate nutritional status and inflammation, but its impact on kidney function isn't well understood.
- Researchers analyzed data from 15,437 participants over 5 years, finding that those with lower PNI levels experienced a greater decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
- The study concluded that a lower PNI is linked to a significant drop in kidney function in the general population, emphasizing the importance of monitoring nutritional status for renal health.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of thyroid immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in predicting the effectiveness of PD-1 blockade for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), revealing they are independent of PD-L1 expression.
- - Out of 71 metastatic NSCLC patients analyzed, those with thyroid irAE showed significantly longer progression-free survival compared to those without, indicating that thyroid irAEs can serve as a useful biomarker in treatment outcomes.
- - Alternative staging methods that incorporate thyroid irAEs improved the prognostic accuracy for disease progression compared to standard TNM staging, emphasizing the importance of these irAEs in identifying patients likely to respond well to PD-1 blockade therapies.
This study aimed to investigate whether metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) defined by the fatty liver index (FLI) affects the decline in kidney function and whether this relationship is still observed in MAFLD defined by ultrasonography (USG). A retrospective cohort study was conducted using de-identified data from participants who received health checkups at Samsung Changwon Hospital between 2002 and 2018. The primary and secondary exposures were the presence of FLI- and USG-defined MAFLD, respectively.

No reports have demonstrated whether this policy change has affected trends in implantable loop recorder (ILR) utilization.
Methods: We identified patients who received an ILR implant using the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database between July 2016 and October 2021.
