Background: The United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 is a test that affects many aspects of medical students' careers. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of various studying habits and academic traits.
Activity: A survey concerning Step 1 study habits and scores was collected and analyzed.
Results And Discussion: Study results showed that preclinical curriculum grades, practice test scores, and the number of practice questions completed were positively correlated with Step 1 scores. The strongest predictor of Step 1 scores was preclinical curriculum grades: each unit increase in a letter grade was associated with a 12-point increase in Step 1 scores.

Department of Public Health and Primary Care, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.
Background: Frailty screening instruments are increasingly studied as risk predictors for adverse postoperative outcomes. However, because of the lack of comparative research, it is unclear which screening instrument performs best. This study therefore compared the diagnostic accuracy of seven frailty screening instruments for adverse postoperative outcomes in patients aged ≥70 years undergoing colorectal surgery.

Objective: To assess the implementation of the "10 Steps for Successful Breastfeeding" and explore associations with any Breastfeeding (BF) and Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) initiation and continuation.
Methods: Implementation of the 10 Steps was assessed based on a consecutive sample of 568 mothers' self-reported experience across all public ( = 5) and 29 (of 35) private maternity clinics using the WHO/UNICEF BFHI questionnaire (Section 4) within the first 24-48 h after birth. BF and EBF were estimated within 48 h after birth as well as at 1st, 4th and 6th month based on a self-reported current status method.

Background/aim: Randomized controlled trials usually lack generabilizity to real-world context. Real-world data, enabled by the use of big data analysis, serve as a connection between the results of trials and the implementation of findings in clinical practice. Nevertheless, using big data in the healthcare has difficulties such as ensuring data quality and consistency.

Department of Urology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University (Second Military Medical University), Shanghai, China.
Background: Tumor-derived exosomes are involved in tumor progression and immune invasion and might function as promising noninvasive approaches for clinical management. However, there are few reports on exosom-based markers for predicting the progression and adjuvant therapy response rate among patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods: The signatures differentially expressed in exosomes from tumor and normal tissues from ccRCC patients were correspondingly deregulated in ccRCC tissues.
