Building a Time-Series Model to Predict Hospitalization Risks in Home Health Care: Insights Into Development, Accuracy, and Fairness.

Objectives: Home health care (HHC) serves more than 5 million older adults annually in the United States, aiming to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits. Despite efforts, up to 25% of patients in HHC experience these adverse events. The underutilization of clinical notes, aggregated data approaches, and potential demographic biases have limited previous HHC risk prediction models.

Functional Assessments of Gynecologic Cancer Models Highlight Differences Between Single-Node Inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway and a Pan-PI3K/mTOR Inhibitor, Gedatolisib.

: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) pathway is frequently activated in gynecological cancers. Many PAM inhibitors selectively target single PAM pathway nodes, which can lead to reduced efficacy and increased drug resistance. To address these limitations, multiple PAM pathway nodes may need to be inhibited.

Endometrial cancer in the elderly: Characteristics, prognostic and risk factors, and treatment options.

Endometrial cancer incidence and related mortality are on the rise due to aging demographics. This population often presents with unfavorable features, such as myometrial invasion, non-endometrioid histology, high-grade tumors, worse prognosis, etc. The role of age as an independent prognostic factor is still debated, and screening tools addressing frailty emerge as pivotal in guiding treatment decisions; however, they are still underutilized.
