In an attempt to examine whether autologous SCT provides long-term disease control in patients with intermediate and high-risk AML where a suitable donor is not available, we analyzed the outcomes of autologous SCT in patients with intermediate and high-risk AML from 1986 to 2005. No relapses occurred after 2.2 years. The overall survival curve appears to have developed a plateau after 2.2 years. In conclusion, autologous SCT in patients with AML in whom an allogeneic transplantation is not feasible appears to be a safe alternative and a plateau in the survival curve indicates cure in a small proportion of patients.

Return to competition after ACL reconstruction: Factors influencing rates and timing in Swedish football players.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
January 2025
Department of Molecular Medicine & Surgery, Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
Purpose: To investigate the rate and timing for return to football league games after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in Swedish players, examining associations with sex, age, level, graft and additional ACL surgery.
Method: Data from the Swedish National Knee Registry (SNKLR) and the Swedish Football Association's IT System (FOGIS) were used. The study cohort comprised 971 football players, 64% males, who underwent primary ACLR.
Stress hyperglycemia ratio as an important predictive indicator for severe disturbance of consciousness and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with cerebral infarction: a retrospective study using the MIMIC-IV database.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University, No. 176 Qingnian Road, Wuhua District, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Background: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been linked to prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the association between SHR and severe disturbance of consciousness (DC) and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction remains explored. This study seeks to assess the predictive potential of SHR for severe DC and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction.

Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, 2000 Broadway, Oakland, CA, 94612, USA.
Background: Clinical determination of patients at high risk of poor surgical outcomes is complex and may be supported by clinical tools to summarize the patient's own personalized electronic health record (EHR) history and vitals data through predictive risk models. Since prior models were not readily available for EHR-integration, our objective was to develop and validate a risk stratification tool, named the Assessment of Geriatric Emergency Surgery (AGES) score, predicting risk of 30-day major postoperative complications in geriatric patients under consideration for urgent and emergency surgery using pre-surgical existing electronic health record (EHR) data.
Methods: Patients 65-years and older undergoing urgent or emergency non-cardiac surgery within 21 hospitals 2017-2021 were used to develop the model (randomly split: 80% training, 20% test).

Department of Medical Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing210000, China.
To investigate the impact of SMARCA4 mutations on the outcomes of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. In the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) MetTropism study, 960 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma were screened and included in the MSK cohort, composing of 313 males and 647 females, with a median [(, )] age of 64 (56, 72) years. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 178 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma who received EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in the Department of Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2018 to December 2022.
