Circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a new class of cancer biomarkers. However, their significance in predicting outcomes in glioblastoma patients is unclear. We measured the levels of six known oncogenic lncRNAs-CRNDE, GAS5, H19, HOTAIR, MALAT1, and TUG1 in serum samples from 106 patients with primary glioblastoma and analyzed their association with outcomes. High levels of HOTAIR were associated with decreased probability of 2-year overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08-9.76), and disease-free survival (adjusted HR = 1.82; 95% CI = 1.04-6.17). High levels of GAS5 were associated with increased probability of 2-year overall survival (adjusted HR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.18-0.99), and disease-free survival (adjusted HR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.16-0.98). HOTAIR and GAS5 levels could serve as reciprocal prognostic predictors of survival and disease progression in patients with glioblastoma.

Background: Unit-to-unit transfer of critically ill patients infers hazards that may cause adverse events. Circumstantial factors associated with mortality after intensive care include days in the ICU, night-time or weekend discharge and capacity transfer as compared to other reasons for transfer. Distance travelled may also constitute an indirect risk.

Background: Loneliness is a public health concern associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Adverse health behaviours and a higher body mass index (BMI) have been proposed as key mechanisms influencing this association. The present study aims to examine the relationship between loneliness, adverse health behaviour and a higher BMI, including daily smoking, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary habits, and obesity in men and women and across different life stages.

Background: Emerging research found air pollution may be associated with incident Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. However, few studies have examined these associations at the global scale. This study aimed to assess the dynamic associations between ambient air pollution and the burden of AD and other dementias worldwide.

Methodological advancements now allow older adults with AML to receive allografts although conflicting data exist regarding relative outcomes across age groups and benefits of different conditioning intensities. We retrospectively analyzed 495 adults aged 60-64 (n = 184), 65-69 (n = 189), or ≥70 (n = 122) allografted for AML in remission at our institution from 2006 to 2023. There were no significant differences in relapse or relapse-free survival (RFS) among the 3 age cohorts after multivariable adjustment.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents one of the most devastating forms of stroke, characterized by spontaneous bleeding into the brain parenchyma. This neurological emergency carries a substantial burden of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of ICH's evolving global impact from 1990 to 2021 remains essential for healthcare planning and resource allocation.
