Monitoring cerebral oxygenation and metabolism, using a combination of invasive and non-invasive sensors, is vital due to frequent disruptions in hemodynamic regulation across various diseases. These sensors generate continuous high-frequency data streams, including intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), providing real-time insights into cerebral function. Analyzing these signals is crucial for understanding complex brain processes, identifying subtle patterns, and detecting anomalies.

Liquid biopsy is an efficient diagnostic/prognostic tool for tumor-derived component detection in peripheral circulation and other body fluids. The rapid assessment of liquid biopsy techniques facilitates early cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Early and precise detection of tumor biomarkers provides crucial information about the tumor that guides clinicians towards effective personalized medicine.

DEHP is a plasticizer that is widely found in our water environment and poses a significant risk to the environment and human health. Long-term exposure to DEHP can cause endocrine disruption and interfere with the organism's normal functioning. In order to explore the potential effects of DEHP on the development of biological brain tissues, this study used bioinformatics analysis to confirm the diagnostic and prognostic value of PER3 in gliomas and further validated the neurotoxicity of DEHP using methods such as behavioral experiments and molecular biology in zebrafish.

A high prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is associated with good prognosis in patients with esophageal cancer. However, nutritional status often decreases during neoadjuvant therapy. Functional tooth units (FTUs) provide an index for the status of posterior occlusal support.

Background: Muscle quality and mass in cancer patients have prognostic and diagnostic importance.
Objectives: The objectives are to analyze agreement between gold-standard and bedside techniques for morphofunctional assessment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 156 consecutive colorectal cancer outpatients that underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning at lumbar level 3 (L3), whole-body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), point-of-care nutritional ultrasound (US), anthropometry, and handgrip strength in the same day.
