Importance: Contact days-days with health care contact outside the home-are a measure of how much of a patient's life is consumed by health care. Clinical trials, with a more uniform patient mix and protocolized care, provide a unique opportunity to assess whether burdens differ by individuals' sociodemographic backgrounds.
Objective: To characterize patterns of contact days for older adults with cancer participating in clinical trials.

BackgroundVascular graft infection (VGI) is a devastating complication that necessitates immediate diagnosis to reduce morbidity and mortality. In 2016, The Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC) proposed a diagnostic algorithm for identifying aortic graft infection which uses clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings to determine risk. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively validate the MAGIC criteria for VGI diagnosis and potentially broaden its application.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the postoperative nerve function following coronal incisions for facial fractures.
Materials And Methods: The present study included 30 patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma treated using the bi-temporal/coronal or hemicoronal approach. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan of the face with 3D reconstruction was done for all the patients to determine the exact extent of the fractures.

Introduction: Since the Fourth edition of the WHO classification, PPGLs have been recognized for their metastatic potential, though no clear features can accurately predict this behavior. The prognostic value of Ki-67 in assessing the risk of progression, relapse, or metastasis in PPGLs remains debated.
Methods: This cohort study included 501 patients diagnosed with PPGLs at the First Hospital of Jilin University between 2000 and 2022, with clinical data, treatment details, pathological indicators, and germline gene test results collected.

Highlights: The three main types of risk assessment and hazard analysis techniques applied on autonomous agricultural machines are: (1) Informal Group Analysis; (2) Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA); and (3) Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Replicability is the main advantage of FMEA and HARA, while cost effectiveness is the main advantage of Informal Group Analysis. Subjectivity and the requirement for prior knowledge (data) are the main weaknesses of FMEA, HARA, and Informal Group Analysis when applied to novel and revolutionary autonomous agricultural machines.
