Aim This study aimed to evaluate the potential relationships between atrial fibrillation (AF) and hematological indices, such as neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume / platelet (MPV / PLT), neutrophil / monocyte ratio (NMR), lymphocyte / monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII, platelet x neutrophil / lymphocytes), and monocyte / high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), that can be obtained from the complete blood count (CBC test).Material and method This retrospective study included 150 patients aged 40-80 yrs who were diagnosed with AF, and 91 age- and gender-matched controls. Hematological indices and inflammation markers were evaluated.Results In the AF group, NLR, PLR, SII, MHR, and MPV / PLT were elevated, and LMR was low. Multivariate regression analysis showed that hematological indices NLR, SII, and MHR were significant, independent, predictive factors for AF. ROC curves revealed the following significant sensitivity and specificity values: NLR 75 %, 52.3 %; LMR 61.3 %, 67.3 %; SII 67.4 %, 64.6 %; MHR 100 %, 56 %.Conclusion NLR, PLR, LMR, SII, MPV / PLT, and MHR may be useful in the early prediction of AF development. It is strongly emphasized that among these variables, MHR, may be the best independent variable that can be used to predict AF.

Purpose: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an hematologic malignancy with prognostic heterogeneity. We aimed to develop and validate DeepENKTCL, an interpretable deep learning prediction system for prognosis risk stratification in ENKTCL.
Methods: A total of 562 patients from four centers were divided into the training cohort, validation cohort and test cohort.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematological malignancy caused by disorders in stem cell differentiation and excessive proliferation resulting in clonal expansion of dysfunctional cells called myeloid blasts. The combination of chemotherapeutic agents with natural product-based molecules is promising in the treatment of AML. In this study, we aim to investigate the anti-cancer effect of Rapamycin and Niacin combination on THP-1 and NB4 AML cell lines.

A major challenge in the stem cell biology field is the ability to produce fully functional cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are a valuable resource for cell therapy, drug screening, and disease modelling. Here, we developed a novel inducible CRISPR-mediated activation strategy (iCRISPRa) to drive the expression of multiple endogenous transcription factors (TFs) important for in vitro cell fate and differentiation of iPSCs to haematopoietic progenitor cells. This work has identified a key role for IGFBP2 in developing haematopoietic progenitors.

Background: Pediatric patients with cancer have limited options to self-manage their health while they are undergoing treatments in the hospital and after they are discharged to their homes. Extended reality (ER) using head-mounted displays has emerged as an immersive method of improving pain and mental health and promoting health-enhancing physical activity among a variety of clinical groups, but there is currently no established protocol for improving both physical and mental health in pediatric cancer rehabilitation.
Objective: This phase I, pilot, feasibility randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the potential effects of a 14-week ER program on physical activity participation and indicators of health among pediatric patients with cancer who undergo bone marrow transplantation.

Background: Intracerebral schwannomas are rare tumors resembling their peripheral nerve sheath counterparts but localized in the CNS. They are not classified as a separate tumor type in the 2021 WHO classification. This study aimed to compile and characterize these rare neoplasms morphologically and molecularly.
