Aims: To investigate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients and to explore the extent to which inflammatory stress affects plasma glucose (PG) levels in AP patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2163 AP patients was performed. The PG differences among AP patients under differing pancreatic necrosis conditions and inflammation severity were compared. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess whether fasting PG in the inflammatory stage of AP might be used for DM screening.
Results: The overall DM prevalence was 19.97% in AP patients, 32.41% of whom had newly diagnosed DM (based on HbA1c levels in patients who self-reported no DM). The DM prevalence was 46.93% in hyperlipidemic AP patients, 44.14% of whom had newly diagnosed DM. In patients with and without pancreatic necrosis, the optimal PG thresholds for the screening of newly diagnosed DM were 10.40 mmol/L and 8.21 mmol/L, respectively, with an AUC of 0.959 ± 0.034 ( < 0.001) and 0.972 ± 0.006 ( < 0.001), respectively.
Conclusions: For hospitalized AP patients and fasting PG levels exceeding 10 mmol/L (with necrosis) or 8 mmol/L (without necrosis) ( < 0.001), HbA1c testing is recommended to investigate the presence of comorbid undiagnosed DM.

Background: Few studies have explored the link between nutritional status and prognosis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and existing findings are controversial. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of pre-treatment nutrition-related indicators on the prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed EOC.
Methods: In this ambispective cohort study, 1,020 patients with EOC diagnosed by pathology examination were enrolled and followed-up until December 31, 2023.

Objective: Although adjuvant trastuzumab-based treatment (TBT) improves survival for patients with HER2-positive early invasive breast cancer (EIBC), risk of toxicity grows as patient age increases. We examined use of TBT and associated severe acute toxicity event (SATE) rates to understand the real-world impact.
Methods And Analysis: Women (50+ years), newly diagnosed with HER2-positive EIBC in England, 2014-2019, were identified from Cancer Registry data, linked to the Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy dataset for TBT information.

Background: The goal of hematological response has been well established in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis. However, the pattern of cardiac response remains unknown.
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the cardiac response dynamics in patients with an early and high-quality hematological response.

Objective: The objective of this study is to present a cross-sectional analysis of cancer burden in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region and explain unique characteristics of its cancer burden as compared with the rest of the world.
Methods And Analysis: Using publicly available data from the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO) and the World Bank, we collected cancer statistics and population statistics for Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka from 2017 to 2022.
Results: The number of newly diagnosed cases in the region was 1 846 963, representing 9.

Objectives: This analysis quantifies the potential long-term clinical and cost benefits of early and intensive metabolic control (EIMC) versus conventional management in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Italy.
Methods: The PRIME T2D Model was used to project clinical and cost outcomes over long-term time horizons for a newly diagnosed cohort of patients receiving EIMC or conventional management. EIMC was associated with a mean glycated hemoglobin reduction of 0.
