Objective: To determine outcome and natural course of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) stages in adult febrile neutropenic patients.
Design And Setting: Retrospective cohort study in the medicine department and intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Patient: Adults with cancer-related neutropenia and community-acquired fever.
Measurements And Results: Patients were classified on admission according to SIRS parameters, tumor type, and degree of neutropenia. Records of clinical and laboratory data during hospitalization were reviewed. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed. Seventy-nine events in 62 patients were analyzed. Overall mortality rate was 20.2% (16/79). Mortality increased as SIRS stage worsened on admission. No patients with stage 2 SIRS died (neutropenia and fever alone) but 11.1% of patients with SIRS 3, 43.4% with SIRS 4, 66.6% with sepsis induced hypotension, and 90% with septic shock. SIRS stage on admission was an independent predictor of death and was related directly to rate of progression to shock, i.e., none of the patients with SIRS 2, 2.7%(1/36) of those with SIRS 3, and 30.4% (7/23) of those admitted with SIRS 4.
Conclusions: Mortality and progression to septic shock increased as more SIRS criteria were met on admission. SIRS stages could serve as a risk-assessing model in febrile neutropenic patients.

Long-term colorectal cancer incidence in a post-endoscopic screening cohort, accounting for surveillance, by baseline polyp group, anatomic subsite, and sex.

Cancer Screening and Prevention Research Group (CSPRG), Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, London, UK.
Objectives: Colonoscopy surveillance is often performed in post-polypectomy cohorts, likely altering colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes, but this is often not addressed in CRC incidence analyses. We examined CRC incidence post-endoscopic screening, accounting for surveillance.
Methods: We examined UK Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Screening Trial participants who had no, low-risk, or high-risk (≥10 mm, ≥3 adenomas, adenomas with villous features/high-grade dysplasia) distal polyps at screening.

Background: This study examines the role and effectiveness of double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in managing hyperlipidemiclipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP).
Methods: Comparative analysis was conducted between two groups: one treated with DFPP and one without. Comparative parameters included blood lipid levels, inflammatory factors, vital signs, disease severity scores, and complication rates.

There are evidence showing that meteorological factors, such as temperature and humidity, have critical effects on transmission of some infectious diseases, while quantifying the influence is challenging. In this study we develop a learning-explaining framework to discover the particular dependence of transmission mechanisms on meteorological factors based on multiple source data. The incidence rate based on the epidemic data and epidemic model is theoretically identified, and meanwhile the practical discovery of particular formula is feasible through deep neural networks (DNN), symbolic regression (SR) and sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy).

In addition to biological factors, maternal exposures during pregnancy can contribute to leukemogenesis in offspring. We conducted a population-based cohort study in Sweden to investigate the association between risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in offspring and maternal anthropometrics during pregnancy. A total of 2,961,435 live-born singletons during 1983-2018 were followed from birth to ALL diagnosis, end of age 18, or end of 2018.

Introduction: Optimizing treatment strategies in polytrauma patients is a key focus in trauma research and timing of major fracture care remains one of the most actively discussed topics. Besides physiologic factors, associated injuries, and injury patterns also require consideration. For instance, the exact impact and relevance of traumatic brain injury on the timing of fracture care have not yet been fully investigated.
