AI Article Synopsis
- Aim: The study investigates risk factors for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and creates a prediction model using a nomogram.
- Methodology: Researchers analyzed clinical data from 234 AAV patients, applying logistic regression and LASSO methods to identify predictors, then validated the prediction model with ROC curve analysis and bootstrap methods.
- Findings: Key independent predictors for AAV with DAH included age, hemoglobin levels, ESR, platelet count, and hematuria, and the nomogram demonstrated strong predictive accuracy with an AUCROC of 0.852.
Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to analyse the risk factors associated with diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and construct a risk prediction model using line graph.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2012 to May 2023 at the First Clinical College of Three Gorges University, focusing on patients diagnosed with AAV. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from these patients. The potential predictors subsets of high-risk AAV combined with DAH were screened by LASSO regression and 10-fold cross-validation method, and determined by using multivariate Logistic regression analysis, then were used for developing a prediction nomogram for high-risk AAV combined with DAH using the R software. ROC curve analysis was used to validate the model's stability. Internal validation was performed using a bootstrap method. The discrimination of the nomogram was determined by calculating the average consistency index(C-index). The calibration curve was used to assess the calibration of the nomogram.
Results: A total of 234 patients with AAV were included, among whom 85 developed DAH, with an incidence rate of 36%, and the average age was 63±12. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that Age [OR=1.037 (95%CI: 1.006, 1.071), p=0.019], platelet count (PLT) [OR=0.996 (95%CI: 0.992, 0.999), p=0.029], ESR [OR=1.028 (95%CI: 1.015, 1.042), p<0.01], HB [OR=0.978 (95%CI: 0.959, 0.996), p=0.024], and haematuria [OR=3.77 (95%CI: 1.677, 8.976), p=0.001] were found to be independent predictors of AAV combined with DAH and were used to construct a nomogram. The AUCROC values of the nomogram for DAH in AAV patients was 0.852 (95%CI: 0.801, 0.903), and the C-index could reach 0.824 after internal verification, showing good differentiation and consistency.
Conclusions: The new nomogram, which included age, Hb, ESR, PLT and haematuria as variables, had the potential to predict the risk of AAV patients complicated with DAH.

Background: Objectives were to determine the prevalence/incidence of HPV-related dysplasia and clearance/acquisition rates of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) genotypes in genital mucosa of women-LHIV and oropharyngeal and anal mucosa of PLHIV and to evaluate factors related to HR-HPV infection in oropharyngeal mucosa at 12-months.
Material And Methods: Prospective, longitudinal study with 12-month follow-up, enrolled PLHIV between December 2022 and April 2023. At baseline and 12-months, HIV-related clinical and analytical variables were recorded, oropharyngeal mucosa exudates were taken for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) studies for HPV and other sexually transmitted infections, while anal and female genital samples were self-sampled for HPV detection and genotyping by PCR and thin-layer cytology.

Background: Breast cancer is often thought to occur at a younger age among Arab women based on the mean or median age at diagnosis, or the proportion of women diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age.
Objective: To compare age-specific breast cancer incidence rates among women from selected Arab countries with selected high- and middle-income countries.
Methods: We examined population-based, age-specific, national or regional breast cancer incidence data for 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States of America, and compared them with data from Algeria, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Typical atrial flutter (AFL), defined as cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, often causes debilitating symptoms, and is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, and death. Typical AFL occurs in patients with atrial remodeling and shares risk factors with atrial fibrillation. It is also common in patients with a history of prior heart surgery or catheter ablation.
