Objectives: Diagnostic reconciliation is the collaborative process between patients and clinicians to create and reconcile evidence-based, feasible, and desirable care plans. However, the specific components of this process remain unclear. The objective of this study was to develop the first comprehensive framework to elucidate the diagnostic reconciliation process.

The multiplex DIA mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) approach, combined with dynamic SILAC labeling (pulse-SILAC, or pSILAC), has proven to be a reliable method for analyzing protein turnover and degradation kinetics. Previous multiplex DIA-MS workflows have employed various strategies, including leveraging the highest isotopic labeling channels of peptides to enhance the detection of isotopic MS signal pairs or clusters.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) poses a significant and growing health burden among aging populations, marked by increasing prevalence and complex management challenges specific to elderly patients. This review explores the multifaceted interplay between COPD and aging, highlighting overlapping pathophysiological processes and comorbidities that complicate diagnosis and treatment. We examine age-specific management strategies, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches that account for the unique physical, cognitive, and health-related quality of life impacts on older adults.

Asian American (AsA) are among the fastest-growing populations in the United States, yet little is known about the disparity of GBC within this cohort. This study identified trends in treatment and outcomes for GBC in a disaggregated fashion, specifically for this population.
