Many Asian American cancer patients face barriers to cancer care but little is known about their navigational needs. We designed and implemented a pilot study to provide culturally- and linguistically-appropriate navigation for Asian American cancer patients. We recruited Asian American adults age 21+ years, who spoke English, Cantonese, Mandarin, or Vietnamese, with newly diagnosed, stage I-III colorectal, liver, or lung cancer in the Northern California Bay Area. Participants were assigned a language-concordant patient navigator, who provided support and resources over 6 months. Surveys were administered at baseline, 3-, and 6-months to assess sociodemographic characteristics, healthcare access, quality of life (FACT-G), and cancer care needs. Participants' mean age was 65 years (range 38-81); 62% were men, 67% spoke Chinese, and 75% reported limited English proficiency. Forty-two percent of participants had lung, 38% colorectal, and 21% liver cancer. Of 24 participants who enrolled, 67% completed the program and 75% completed standard of care cancer treatment. The average total FACT-G score was 72.6 (SD 17) at baseline, 68.0 (SD 20) at 3 months, and 69.9 (SD 22) at 6 months. All participants reported that the program was culturally appropriate and would recommend it. Asian American cancer patients in a patient navigation program reported lower quality of life compared to the general adult cancer population. Even with navigation, 75% of participants reported completing standard of care treatment. While participants were satisfied with the program, more research is needed to address the quality of cancer care Asian American cancer patients receive.

Objective: To explore the relationship between leukocyte count and renal function in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of 100 patients with LN admitted to the Department of Nephrology between 1 January 2015 and 30 December 2023. Based on tertile of leukocyte count, they were allocated to Low, Medium, or High groups.

Unlabelled: Neuroblastoma, " a malignancy originating from neural crest cells, is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents. Polymorphisms within the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA (HOTTIP) are believed to have the capacity to alter an individual's susceptibility to various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the link between HOTTIP gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility.

This study evaluated the performance of ChatGPT with GPT-4 Omni (GPT-4o) on the 118th Japanese Medical Licensing Examination. The study focused on both text-only and image-based questions. The model demonstrated a high level of accuracy overall, with no significant difference in performance between text-only and image-based questions.

While previous literature has described the frequency of HT use for the relief of menopausal symptoms in both the general and veteran female populations, there is currently no literature describing this frequency within the female active duty population. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by conducting a retrospective cross-sectional study of HT receipt in active duty service women (ADSW) ages 45 to 64 during fiscal years (FYs) 2018 to 2022.

Background: The association between tea consumption and mortality among very elderly individuals, with or without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCD), including stroke, remains unclear. This study hypothesised that a significant association exists.
Methods: We analysed data from two waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), spanning 1998/2000 to 2018, with a maximum follow-up of 20 years.
