Lymph-node ratio as a risk factor for recurrence following neoadjuvant docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil therapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Esophagus
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterological Chemotherapy, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Cancer Institute Hospital, 3-8-31 Ariake, Koto-Ku, Tokyo, 135-8550, Japan.
Background And Purpose: It remains unclear whether the lymph-node ratio (LNR) is a relevant factor for the risk of recurrence following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF), which is a new standard of care for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of LNR as a risk factor for recurrence.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients who underwent nCT-DCF followed by curative surgery for resectable ESCC.
Magnetic resonance imaging quantification of left ventricular mechanical dispersion and scar heterogeneity optimize risk stratification after myocardial infarction.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Qujing No.1 Hospital, Kirin District Garden Road no. 1, Qujing, 655099, China.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial contraction patterns can be assessed using LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD), a parameter closely associated with electrical activation patterns. Despite its potential clinical significance, limited research has been conducted on LVMD following myocardial infarction (MI). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LVMD for adverse clinical outcomes and to explore its correlation with myocardial scar heterogeneity.

Objective: This investigation aimed to compare MMP-9 levels and ocular surface parameters in diabetic patients with and without DED.
Detection of carbapenemases in Enterobacterales susceptible in vitro to meropenem.
Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin (Engl Ed)
January 2025
Unidade de Microbiologia do Serviço de Patologia Clínica do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), Ramiro Barcelos, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Introduction: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a global threat. We evaluate the prevalence of CPE among isolates categorized as meropenem-susceptible, but that meet the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) screening cut-off values for carbapenemase detection, and analyze the susceptibility of these isolates to new available drugs.
Methods: We analyzed 257 isolates from patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Brazil, from July 2022 to April 2023.
Racial disparity in preoperative C-reactive protein level for predicting prognosis of patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma: INMARC study.
Int J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a prognostic biomarker for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, there may be potential racial heterogeneity in distribution and prognostic impact of CRP level. We investigated potential racial differences in distribution and prognostic impact of preoperative CRP among Asian (AS), African American (AA), and Caucasian (CAUC) patients with non-metastatic ccRCC (nmccRCC).
