We have reported that the FAN score, which consists of the fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) index, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), is a prognostic marker for patients receiving pembrolizumab for mUC. However, it remains unclear whether the FAN score is a prognostic factor for platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. We included 126 patients with mUC who received platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. The median PFS and overall survival (OS) were 6.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.5-8.0) and 14.0 months (95% CI 11.1-16.9), respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that Fib-4 index (HR 3.85, 95% CI 1.09-13.58, p = 0.036), ALBI score (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.01-2.31, p = 0.045), and NLR (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.14-2.71, p = 0.010) were independently associated with PFS. The FAN score was also associated with PFS (HR 2.56, 95% CI 1.62-4.05, p < 0.001). The median PFS for patients with low FAN score (≤ 1) and those with high FAN score (≥ 2) were 7.8 (95% CI 5.0-9.0) months and 3.0 (95% CI 1.6-5.8) months, respectively. In conclusion, the FAN score is a prognostic factor for mUC patients who are treated with platinum-based first-line chemotherapy.

Introduction: The diagnosis of sarcopenia relies on key indicators such as handgrip strength, walking speed and muscle mass. Developing a composite index that integrates these measures could enhance clinical evaluation in older adults. This study aimed to standardise and combine these metrics to establish a z score for the sarcopenia composite index (ZoSCI) tailored for the ageing population.

Few normative data for unsupervised, remotely-administered computerized cognitive measures are available. We examined variables to include in normative models for Mayo Test Drive (MTD, a multi-device remote cognitive assessment platform) measures, developed normative data, and validated the norms. 1240 Cognitively Unimpaired (CU) adults ages 32-100 years (96% White) from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging and Mayo Alzheimer's Disease Research Center with Clinical Dementia Rating of 0 were included.

Pressure garment therapy is a common strategy for controlling hypertrophic scars; however, insufficient pressure due to reduced elasticity or joint movement limits its effectiveness around joints. The FlexiForce B201 pressure sensor offers precise pressure measurements, thereby demonstrating a promising solution. This study used a Bama pig scar model with an untreated group, a pressure garment group, and a pressure monitoring group that was treated with FlexiForce B201 sensors and pressure garments.

In recent years, various head-worn virtual reality (VR) techniques have emerged to enhance object selection for occluded or distant targets. However, many approaches focus solely on ray-casting inputs, restricting their use with other input methods, such as bare hands. Additionally, some techniques speed up selection by changing the user's perspective or modifying the scene context, which may complicate interactions when users plan to resume or manipulate the scene afterward.
