Objective: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a common life-threatening cardiovascular disease. This retrospective study was conducted to analyze the plasma concentration of S100A1 and its diagnostic value for AAD through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression analyses.
Methods: Seventy-eight patients with AAD and 77 healthy controls were included, and the relevant clinical data for each group were collected. According to the Stanford classification, the AAD patients were divided into types A and B. The plasma levels of S100A1, D-dimer, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, and cardiac troponin T were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Results: The S100A1 concentrations in the healthy control, Stanford A, and Stanford B groups were 0.7 ± 0.6, 4.9 ± 2.6, and 3.5 ± 2.2 ng/mL, respectively. The concentration of S100A1 was increased in patients with AAD complicated with aortic regurgitation, pericardial effusion, or in-hospital death. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve was 0.89. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the S100A1 level was an important risk factor for the development of AAD.
Conclusion: Plasma S100A1 is significantly elevated in patients with AAD, and its concentration has potential clinical value for diagnosing AAD.

Introduction: Pelvic fractures often result in life-threatening bleeding and hemodynamic instability. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as a promising strategy for patients with severe pelvic fractures, facilitating subsequent hemostatic interventions. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a well-established procedure for managing pelvic fractures accompanied by hemorrhage.

Background: This study examines the relationship between Hb, RDW and their association and both short-term and long-term mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD), aiming to establish combined effect between Hb and RDW as a potential prognostic biomarker for AAD outcomes.
Methods: We extracted clinical data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) databases for this analysis. Using adjusted Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analyses, we assessed the relationship between Hb, RDW and their association at admission and mortality at multiple post-discharge intervals (30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 5 years) among patients with AAD.

Background: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has a poor prognosis, necessitating the investigation of novel treatments and targets. This study evaluated JNJ-70218902 (JNJ-902), a T-cell redirector targeting transmembrane protein with epidermal growth factor-like and 2 follistatin-like domains 2 (TMEFF2) and cluster of differentiation 3, in mCRPC.
Patients And Methods: Patients who had measurable/evaluable mCRPC after at least one novel androgen receptor-targeted therapy or chemotherapy were eligible.
Determinants of Trunk Muscle Size Decrease in Patients with Type B Acute Aortic Dissection.

Trunk muscle decrease is reportedly associated with an increased risk of multiple adverse clinical outcomes. Acute aortic dissection (AAD) involves a systemic inflammatory response which is associated with exaggerated muscle protein catabolism. AAD requires prolonged hospitalization and potentially exacerbates muscle size decrease.
