Background: There is no study analyzing and evaluating the prognostic role of thrombocytosis in Asian patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: A systematic search of articles (PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) was performed to identify studies using the terms Platelet count, Thrombocytosis, Thrombocytoses, Thrombocythemia or Thrombocythemias with colon, colonic, rectal, rectum, colorectal and prognostic, prognosis, survival or outcome.
Results: Thirteen eligible studies with 3964 patients were included. Thrombocytosis was associated with a poorer overall survival (HR of 1.88 [95% CI: 1.24-2.85; P = .003] with univariate analyses, HR of 2.07 [95% CI: 1.2-3.56; P = .008] with multivariate analyses), disease-free survival (HR of 2.58 [95% CI: 1.87-3.57; P < .00001] with multivariate analyses) and cancer specific survival (HR of 2.55 [95% CI: 1.68-3.85; P < .00001]) in Asian patients with CRC. Thrombocytosis had a significant association with female gender, tumor location in the colon, higher pathological T-stage, pathological positive N-stage, but not with lymphatic involvement and venous involvement.
Conclusion: The present meta-analysis demonstrates that thrombocytosis is a potentially useful tool for predicting poor survival in Asian patients with CRC, especially for overall survival.

Continuous surveillance is critical for early intervention against emerging novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Therefore, we investigated and compared the variant-specific evolutionary epidemiology of all the Delta and Omicron sequences collected between 2021 and 2023 in Kuwait. We used Bayesian phylodynamic models to reconstruct, trace, and compare the two variants' demographics, phylogeographic, and host characteristics in shaping their evolutionary epidemiology.

: Pathophysiological variability in patients with cancer is associated with differences in responses to pharmacotherapy. In this work, we aimed to describe the demographic characteristics and hematological, biochemical, and coagulation variables in a large oncology cohort and to develop, optimize, and provide open access to modeling equations for the estimation of variables potentially relevant in pharmacokinetic modeling. : Using data from 1793 patients with cancer, divided into training ( = 1259) and validation ( = 534) datasets, a modeling network was developed and used to simulate virtual oncology populations.

: The ketogenic diet (KD) is widely used for weight management by reducing appetite, enhancing fat oxidation, and facilitating weight loss. However, the high content of total and saturated fats in a conventional KD may elevate low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels, a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the need for healthier alternatives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a newly developed Healthy Ketogenic Diet (HKD) versus an Energy-Restricted Diet (ERD) on weight loss and metabolic outcomes among adults with obesity.

: The anterolateral bowing of the femur shows differences between races and has recently caused many clinical problems. Asians tend to have increased femoral bowing, but there is a lack of large-scale studies. We aim to identify the patterns of femoral bowing in the Korean population through comprehensive analysis and address its clinical implications.

Molecular profiles can predict which patients will respond to current standard treatment and new targeted therapy regimens. Using data from a highly diverse population of approximately three million in Southeast London and Kent, this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of IDH1 mutation and MGMT promoter methylation in the gliomas diagnosed in adult patients and to explore correlations with patients' demographic and clinicopathological characteristics. Anonymised data on 749 adult patients diagnosed with a glioma in 2015-2019 at King's College Hospital were extracted.
