Context: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) vaccines may incur changes in thyroid functions followed by mood changes, and patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) were suggested to bear a higher risk.
Objectives: We primarily aim to find whether COVID-19 vaccination could induce potential subsequent thyroid function and mood changes. The secondary aim was to find inflammatory biomarkers associated with risk.
Background: Metabolic disorder is an essential characteristic of tumor development. Ketogenesis is a heterogeneous factor in multiple cancers, but the effect of ketogenesis on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is elusive.
Methods: We aimed to explain the role of ketogenesis-related hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl-CoA lyase (HMGCL) on HCC suppression.

Background: To form a radiomic model on the basis of noncontrast computed tomography (CT) to distinguish hepatic hemangioma (HH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 110 patients were reviewed, including 72 HCC and 38 HH. We accomplished feature selection with the least absolute shrinkage and operator (LASSO) and built a radiomics signature.
Background: Tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the cellular environment where tumors exist, including immune cells, fibroblasts, stromal cells, chemokines, etc. TME is closely related to the prognosis of various tumors; nevertheless, limited studies have established predictive prognosis models based on TME. This work aims to construct a survival prediction model for melanoma patients based on TME.

Patients And Methods: Transcriptional and clinical data were downloaded from TARGET datasets. A total of seven lncRNAs screened by univariate cox regression, lasso regression, and multivariate cox regression analysis were used to establish the OS metastasis model.
The cell division cycle associated 8 (CDCA8) is a crucial component of the chromosome passenger complex (CPC). It has been implicated in the regulation of cell dynamic localization during mitosis. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not clearly known.

However, the optimal anesthetic modality during EVT is unclear. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed to summarize the current literatures from RCTs to provide new clinical evidence of choosing anesthetic modality for AIS patients when receiving EVT.
