Aim: To validate the utility of the Singapore nomogram for outcome prediction in breast phyllodes tumours.
Methods: Histological parameters, surgical margin status and clinical follow-up data of 34 women diagnosed with phyllodes tumours were analysed. Biostatistics modelling was performed, and the concordance between predicted and observed survivals was calculated.
Results: Women with a high nomogram score had an increased risk of developing relapse, which was predicted using the parameters defined by the Singapore nomogram.
Conclusions: The Singapore nomogram is useful in predicting outcome in breast phyllodes tumours when applied to an Australian cohort of 34 women.

Plasma fibronectin is a prognostic biomarker of disability in Parkinson's disease: a prospective, multicenter cohort study.

In a prospective longitudinal study with 218 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients in the discovery cohort and 84 in the validation cohort, we aimed to identify novel blood biomarkers predicting disability milestones in PD. Through Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator-Cox (Lasso-Cox) regression, developed nomogram predictive model and Linear mixed-effects models, we identified low level of plasma fibronectin (pFN) as one of the best-performing risk markers in predicting disability milestones. A low level of pFN was associated with a short milestone-free survival period in PD.

Background: Intrahepatic and perihepatic abscess (IPHA) is a severe yet understudied complication that can occur after hepatectomy. This multicenter study aimed to elucidate the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of IPHA after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to develop a novel prediction model for personalized risk assessment.
Methods: This was a multicenter cohort study of HCC patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy.

Article Synopsis
- - Surgical site infection (SSI) is a frequent complication for patients undergoing surgery for liver cancer (HCC), affecting nearly 9.5% of the 4,124 patients studied, and significantly worsening their recovery outcomes like prolonged hospital stays and increased mortality.
- - Risk factors for SSI identified include obesity, diabetes, portal hypertension, significant blood loss, and specific surgical approaches, with a new predictive model developed to assess individual patient risk effectively.
- - This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing SSI risks to improve patient outcomes post-surgery and suggests further research to validate the predictive tool and explore preventive measures for high-risk patients.
Evidence-based Guidelines for Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction Surgery.

Topic: Development of evidence-based guidelines for keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx).
Clinical Relevance: KLEx refers to various corneal refractive procedures involving removal of refractive lenticules of intrastromal corneal tissue, typically through a small incision, thereby eliminating creation of a corneal flap. This technique has rapidly gained popularity as a possible alternative to flap-based procedures; however, no clinical practice guidelines exist for KLEx.
