Background: The coagulation system is intrinsically linked to pathological mechanisms and progression of ischemic stroke. However, the role of preoperative coagulation function in determining the functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients following large artery occlusion (AIS-LVO) has not been extensively evaluated in peer-reviewed literature.
Methods: We utilized logistic regression analyses, complemented by the construction of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, to identify significant predictive factors for poor prognosis following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted to further assess the prognostic efficacy of coagulation function across different subgroups.
Results: A total of 607 patients were enrolled, with 335 (55.19%) experiencing an unfavorable outcome. Multivariate regression analysis identified preoperative D-dimer and PTA as independent predictors of 3-month prognosis. After adjusting for confounders, elevated preoperative D-dimer levels (≥ 715 mg/L), identified by cut-off value, were a significant predictor of poor prognosis, with 2.51-fold higher risk compared to the normal range. Conversely, elevated PTA levels (≥ 85.5%) were significantly and inversely associated with poor prognosis, indicating a reduced risk of 0.39 times. Furthermore, the combination of elevated D-dimer and reduced PTA demonstrated a synergistic effect, markedly increasing the risk of poor outcomes in AIS-LVO patients. Subgroup analyses revealed that failed recanalization, comorbid diabetes, and non-middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion significantly influence the predictive value of D-dimer and PTA for clinical outcomes.
Conclusion: Elevated admission D-dimer and reduced PTA levels are independent predictors of poor prognosis in patients with AIS-LVO, and there is a synergistic interaction between the two variables.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) presents a challenging spectrum of outcomes, often complicated by intrarenal arterial/arteriolar lesions (IALs) in affected individuals. Despite their clinical relevance, existing criteria for classifying and assessing the severity of these lesions remain undefined. This study aimed to establish semi-quantitative assessment criteria for grading IALs and to evaluate their prognostic significance in patients with IgAN.

The global incidence of biliary tract cancer (BTC) is on the rise, presenting a substantial healthcare challenge. The integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with molecularly targeted therapies is emerging as a strategy to enhance immune responses. However, the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of these treatments in BTC are still largely unexplored.

Patients who develop Ewing sarcoma with extra-pulmonary metastasis have a poor prognosis. A recent French protocol, CombinaiR3, was set up to evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and metronomic maintenance treatment. It is now closed for inclusions and while waiting for the results, we propose a French consensus guideline for the management of patients diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma with extra-pulmonary dissemination.

Objectives: Adrenal gland cancer (AGC) is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. Studies on this cancer have been limited. This study, for the first time, aims to analyse the global disease burden and trends of adrenal gland cancer in country level and examine lifestyle and socioeconomic risk factors to generate hypotheses.
