Background And Objectives: Studies show that new onset diabetes mellitus (DM) (NOD) predates the diagnosis of PDAC by up to 2 years. Two tumor-intrinsic molecular subtypes of PDAC that are prognostic and predictive of chemotherapy response have been described and validated. We hypothesize that patients with NOD may have different molecular subtypes and prognoses.

Big data has emerged as a pivotal asset in addressing oral health disparities in recent years. Big data encompasses the vast pool of health care-related biomedical information sourced from diverse channels, such as claims data, patient registries, and electronic health records (EHRs). This study is a critical review that synthesizes the evidence, identifies gaps in knowledge, and discusses future implications regarding big data analytics and oral health disparities.

Article Synopsis
  • In early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), high glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression is linked to poor outcomes, potentially due to an immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment.
  • A study of 47 patients showed that high GR expression correlated with increased levels of immunosuppressive FOXP3+ regulatory T cells and BATF3+ immune cells, but not significantly with CD8+ T cell infiltration.
  • The findings suggest that high GR expression may contribute to a more immunosuppressed state in TNBC, which could explain worse prognoses for patients with GR-positive tumors.

Background: Current methods of monitoring cognition in older adults are insufficient to address the growing burden of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). New approaches that are sensitive, scalable, objective, and reflective of meaningful functional outcomes are direly needed. Mobility trajectories and geospatial life space patterns reflect many aspects of cognitive and functional integrity and may be useful proxies of age-related cognitive decline.
