Objective: To develop a validated machine learning (ML) algorithm for predicting the risk of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Materials And Methods: We employed the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) to identify critical features related to pneumonia. Five ML models-Logistic Regression (LR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes Classifier (NB), and Support Vector Machine (SVC)-were developed and assessed using the training and validation datasets.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies indicate a link between obesity and cognitive impairment, with depressive symptoms potentially playing a mediating role.
  • This cross-sectional study analyzed 2391 older U.S. participants to assess the relationship between Waist-to-Weight Index (WWI), cognitive function (measured using various tests), and depression symptoms.
  • Results showed that as WWI increased, the prevalence of cognitive impairment also rose, with significant correlations found between WWI, depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline across all participant groups.

Recent reports revealed that higher serum glucose-potassium ratio (GPR) levels at admission were significantly associated with poor outcomes at 3 months following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This study aimed to investigate the association between GPR and the risk of rebleeding following aSAH. This single-center retrospective study of patients with aSAH was conducted in our hospital between January 2008 and December 2020.

A promising aqueous aluminum ion battery (AIB) was assembled using a novel layered KTiO anode against an activated carbon coated on a Ti mesh cathode in an AlCl-based aqueous electrolyte. The intercalation/deintercalation mechanism endowed the layered KTiO as a promising anode for rechargeable aqueous AIBs. NaAc was introduced into the AlCl aqueous electrolyte to enhance the cycling stability of the assembled aqueous AIB.
