AI Article Synopsis

  • Collected data on weather and urolithiasis-related hospitalizations in Ganzhou City for 2018-2019 using the DLNM method to analyze temperature's effects on hospitalizations.
  • Found that overall high temperatures (30℃) significantly increased hospitalization rates for urolithiasis, with a relative risk of 2.10.
  • The impact of heat was consistent across genders and counties, but the highest risk was among individuals aged 60 and above, showing a relative risk of 3.18.

Article Abstract

We collected meteorological and urolithiasis-related hospitalization data from four counties in Ganzhou City for 2018-2019 and used the DLNM method to assess the lagged and cumulative effects of temperature on urolithiasis hospitalizations and obtain the total effect after meta-combination. Based on the nonlinear association between temperature and urolithiasis hospitalizations, the relative risk of overall high temperature (30℃) was 2.10 (95% CI: 1.07-4.10). No statistically significant difference ( = 0.07) was observed between males (RR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.42-2.94) and females (RR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.09-1.92) for the heat effect, which was higher in the ≥ 60 years age group (RR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.76-5.76) than in the < 60 years age group ( = 0.007). High temperatures increased the risk of hospitalization for urolithiasis in Ganzhou, China, and the risk was greatest for individuals aged 60 and above, with similar risks observed across counties and genders.

Background: This retrospective study aimed to identify key prognostic factors for patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (TICH) and develop a comprehensive nomogram for prognostic assessment.

Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on TICH patients at a single-center hospital from October 2013 to September 2022. Using logistic regression analyses, key prognostic factors for TICH were identified and used to create a predictive nomogram model.

Article Synopsis
  • Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with significant insights gained from recent genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association studies.
  • Recent research has uncovered new susceptibility genes and loci, highlighting the genetic complexity and subtype-specific factors associated with MG.
  • The review also emphasizes the role of epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and non-coding RNAs, in MG development, along with advancements in genetic diagnostics and biomarkers.
