Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown efficacy in its treatment. The combination of chemotherapy and ICIs represents a new trend in the standard care for metastatic NPC. In this study, we aim to clarify the immune cell profile and related prognostic factors in the ICI-based treatment of metastatic NPC.

The involvement of axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) is a critical prognostic factor affecting patient management and outcomes in breast cancer (BC). This study aims to comprehensively analyze the clinical data of BC patients, evaluate ultrasonic signs of ALNs, and explore the implications of a prediction model for ALN metastasis (ALNM) in early-stage BC patients based on ultrasonic features and clinical data. This study retrospectively analyzed ultrasonic features and clinical data from 216 patients diagnosed with unilateral invasive BC.

Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex plasma cell malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation and monoclonal immunoglobulin production. Despite the availability of several prognostic markers for MM, many are challenging to implement routine clinical practice due to cost, complexity, or lack of standardization. Red cell distribution width (RDW), a cost-effective and routinely measured parameter in complete blood counts, has gained increasing attention as a prognostic marker due to its association with disease severity and outcomes in MM.

Objective: This study sought to examine the potential relationship between Hemoglobin/Red Cell Distribution Width Ratio (HRR) and the all-cause mortality risk in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Patients And Methods: In a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database, patients were divided into two groups based on a specific HRR threshold. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to address covariate imbalances.
