Macrolide (MLR) and fluoroquinolone (FQR) resistance in (MG) has recently become a major problem worldwide. The available data on the prevalence of MLR and FQR in MG in Russia are limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence and pattern of mutations in 213 MG-positive urogenital swabs from patients in Moscow between March 2021 and March 2022. MLR- and FQR-associated mutations were searched in 23S rRNA as well as in the parC and gyrA genes using Sanger sequencing. The prevalence of MLR was 55/213 (26%), with A2059G and A2058G substitutions being the two most common variants (36/55, 65%, and 19/55, 35%, respectively). FQR detection showed 17% (37/213); two major variants were D84N (20/37, 54%) and S80I (12/37, 32.4%) and three minor variants were S80N (3/37, 8.1%), D84G (1/37, 2.7%), and D84Y (1/37, 2.7%). Fifteen of the fifty-five MLR cases (27%) simultaneously harbored FQR. This study revealed the high frequency of MLR and FQR. We conclude that the improvement of patient examination algorithms and therapeutic approaches should be combined with the routine monitoring of antibiotic resistance based on the sensitivity profiles presented. Such a complex approach will be essential for restraining the development of treatment resistance in MG.

Background: Toxicological studies suggest neonicotinoids increase oxidative stress and inflammation, but few epidemiological studies have explored these effects.
Methods: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016 data were used to estimate associations between neonicotinoid exposure and inflammatory markers, including the C-reactive protein-to-lymphocyte count ratio (CLR), monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR (dNLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) using linear and multinomial logistic regression models. Sex was evaluated as a potential modifier.

Background: A key requirement of community outreach and engagement offices within National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers is to conduct a comprehensive examination of their catchment area's population, cancer burden, and assets. To accomplish this task, we describe the plan for implementing our initiative, the Cancer Health Assets and Needs Assessment (CHANA). CHANA compiles, into a single source, up-to-date data that describes the cancer landscape of North Carolina's 100 counties.

Objective: This study aims to establish a new prognostic index using machine learning models to predict the clinical outcomes of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods: In this study, we collected data from the electronic medical records system of Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital to establish a training set of 501 breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant therapy from January 2017 to December 2021. Additionally, we collected data from Harbin Medical University Affiliated Cancer Hospital, Harbin Medical University Affiliated Second Hospital, and Harbin Medical University Affiliated Sixth Hospital to establish a validation set of 1533 patients during the same period.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the value of the inflammatory prognostic score (IPS) system for predicting the risk of all-cause major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and cardiac-related MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Overall, 1384 patients with ACS who underwent PCI between January 2016 and December 2018 were consecutively enrolled. Demographic characteristics and related laboratory results for 11 inflammatory markers were collected.

Background: Complete blood cell count (CBC)-derived inflammatory biomarkers are crucial indicators of adverse outcomes and possess predictive value for a wide range of diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the links between CBC-derived inflammatory biomarkers and frailty index.
Methods: Information was gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning the years 1999 to 2016.
