What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Echinococcosis exhibits a global distribution. In China, the primary endemic area is the northwest region. In December 2023, we documented a case of echinococcosis in an individual lacking any travel or residential history in endemic regions.
What Is Added By This Report?: This is the first laboratory-confirmed case of hepatic echinococcosis reported in Guangdong Province, associated with the G7 genotype of (). The most probable mode of transmission is a local infection resulting from introduced from endemic regions.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: As the circulation of agricultural products increases, it is essential to enhance the quarantine and management of livestock from epidemic areas to prevent and control the spread of echinococcosis to non-epidemic regions.

Background: Recent studies have emphasized the association between prolonged screen exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders, though its correlation with tic disorders (TDs) remains ambiguous. We thus conducted this study to investigate the association between screen time (ST) and the severity of tic symptoms in children diagnosed with TDs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study with 342 cases of TDs and 270 controls, collecting data from March 2021 to December 2023.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to brain alterations, but the specific regions affected and the causal associations between these changes remain unclear.
Methods: We studied 20 pairs of age-, sex-, BMI-, and education- matched OSA patients and healthy controls using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from August 2019 to February 2020. Additionally, large-scale Mendelian randomization analyses were performed using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data on OSA and 3935 brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs), assessed in up to 33,224 individuals between December 2023 and March 2024, to explore potential genetic causality between OSA and alterations in whole brain structure and function.

To develop and evaluate a predictive model for intensive care unit (ICU) admission among patients with acute sedative-hypnotic overdose. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to the emergency department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between October 11, 2009, and December 31, 2023. Patients were divided into ICU and non-ICU groups based on admission criteria including the need for blood purification therapy, organ support therapy (ventilatory support, vasoactive drugs, renal replacement therapy, artificial liver), or post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

To investigate the impact of SMARCA4 mutations on the outcomes of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. In the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) MetTropism study, 960 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma were screened and included in the MSK cohort, composing of 313 males and 647 females, with a median [(, )] age of 64 (56, 72) years. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 178 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma who received EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in the Department of Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2018 to December 2022.
