Background: Plasma membrane tension-related genes (MTRGs) are known to play a crucial role in tumor progression by influencing cell migration and adhesion. However, their specific mechanisms in bladder cancer (BLCA) remain unclear.
Methods: Transcriptomic, clinical and mutation data from BLCA patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Importance: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, chronic, cardiac arrythmia in older US adults. It is not known whether AF is independently associated with increased risk of retinal stroke (central retinal artery occlusion), a subtype of ischemic stroke that causes severely disabling visual loss in most cases and is a harbinger of further vascular events.
Objective: To determine whether there is an association between AF and retinal stroke.

Background: Dementia patients often have several co-existing diseases, whereas the specific temporality and development patterns between them remain uncertain.
Method: Based on the multicenter, community-based prospective UK Biobank, enriched disease diagnoses were extracted from hospital admission linkage, along with basic demographic information and individual genome data from the baseline visit. We constructed disease trajectory before dementia utilizing the phenome-wide association analysis to firstly filter potential precursors, the directional test to select temporal disease pairs, and conditional logistic regression to finally quantify association strength.

Background: Systemic thromboxane A generation, which is readily assessed by quantifying thromboxane B metabolites (TXB-M) in the urine, is associated with impaired cardiac performance and mortality in aspirin (ASA) users with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: This study sought to determine the association of urinary TXB-M with the risk of developing HF in individuals without prior history of HF and with normal left ventricular function irrespective of ASA use.
Methods: Urine TXB-M were measured by immunoassay and adjusted to urine concentration and renal function (TXB-M) in 2,611 Framingham Heart Study participants (54.

Notable advances have recently been achieved in drug therapies for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Several tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved for metastatic RCC (mRCC). The current first-line treatment for mRCC involves combination therapies using TKIs and ICIs.
