The changing relationship between racial identity and skin color in Brazil.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
January 2025
Department of Sociology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697-5100.
In recent years, Brazil's non-White (Brown and Black) population became a numerical majority for the first time since the 19th century. Although we know this change was mostly due to racial reclassification, we do not know how such changes are related to skin color, the primary marker of race in Brazil. Using data from six Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), or America's Barometer, surveys from 2010 to 2023, we examine how changes in racial self-identification (White, Brown, or Black) are related to respondent skin color (light, medium, or dark).

PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Convergence of Healthcare and Medicine, Ajou University Graduate School of Medicine, Suwon, South Korea.
Brain herniation can be a life-threatening condition, resulting in poor prognosis and higher fatality rates. We examined whether quantitative characteristics of sequential pupillary light reflex (PLR) could serve as biomarkers for identifying brain herniation in fatal acute stroke cases with anterior circulation involvement admitted to neurological intensive care unit (Neuro-ICU). Automatic pupillometer assessed PLR automatically every 4-6 hours, measuring eight specific features: NPi (Neurological pupil index) score, initial resting and constriction pupil size, constriction change, constriction velocity, constriction latency, and dilation velocity.

Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Faculty of Chinese Medicine, Macau University of Science and Technology, Taipa, Macau, China.
Rationale: Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) caused by malignant hypertension is an acute and critical disease among rare diseases. Although renal biopsy pathology is a golden indicator for diagnosing kidney disease, it cannot distinguish between primary and secondary TMA and requires a comprehensive diagnosis in conjunction with other laboratory tests and medical history.
Patient Concerns: A 33-year-old young man was hospitalized due to unexplained kidney failure.
Predictive value of preoperative circulating tumor cells combined with hematological indexes for liver metastasis after radical resection of colorectal cancer.

Department of General Surgery, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and about 50% of its advanced patients will have liver metastasis. Preoperative assessment of the risk of liver metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer is of great significance for making individualized treatment plans. Traditional imaging examinations and tumor markers have some limitations in predicting the risk of liver metastasis.

Eur Stroke J
January 2025
Row Fogo Centre for Research into Ageing and the Brain, and UK Dementia Research Institute, Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
Purpose: Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a highly prevalent disorder leading to physical, cognitive and functional decline. We report key barriers in the management of individuals with cSVD, the potential benefit of cSVD-dedicated health services, and evidence from existing models of care for adults with cSVD.
Methods: We examined information from a scientific seminar developed between seven experts in cSVD during the eighth European Stroke Organisation Conference that discussed the optimal health care for adults with cSVD and what health services dedicated to cSVD should include.
