The Behavioural Status Index model suggests that 'social risk' tends to vary inversely with an individual's insight and capacity to perform key communication and social skills. The aim of this study was to describe emergent trends in data related to the risk, insight, and communication and social skills subscales used in the model. Data were collected from 503 patients in two high security mental health hospitals. Although a distinct factorial structure emerged suggesting groupings of behaviours, results provide little support for the overall model proposed.

Background: Irrespective of baseline diabetes status, preoperative hemoglobin A1c (A1C) influences perioperative care in patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Accordingly, the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) endorses that patients undergoing MBS should receive a preoperative A1C test. We aimed to assess the proportion of MBS patients who received a preoperative A1C test and determine whether baseline diabetes status influences receipt of a test.

Background: LINC00312 has shown to play a suppressive role in the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the expression pattern and diagnostic role of circulating LINC00312 in NSCLC remain to be confused.
Methods: A total of 319 patients diagnosed with NSCLC and 180 healthy volunteers were enrolled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University between January, 2022 and December, 2023.
