Background: Cachexia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes in cancer. However, clinical decision-making for oncology patients at the cachexia stage presents significant challenges.
Objective: This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML) model to identify potentially reversible cancer cachexia (PRCC).
The article presents a clinical case of secondary cardiomyopathy in an HIV patient with plasmablastic lymphoma due to the combined pathology (HIV infection with ongoing antiretroviral therapy in combination with antitumor therapy), in which the use of multimodal imaging contributed to establishing the correct diagnosis and excluding the unjustified use of invasive methods for diagnosing ischemic heart disease.

Although loneliness and social isolation are proposed as important risk factors for metabolic diseases, their associations with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have not been elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine whether loneliness and social isolation are independently associated with the risk of NAFLD and to explore potential mediators for the observed associations. In this large prospective cohort analysis with 405,073 participants of the UK Biobank, the status of loneliness and social isolation was assessed through self-administrated questionnaires at study recruitment.

Cancer is a fatal disease with a high global prevalence and is associated with an increased incidence of metabolic disorders. This study aimed to develop a novel metabolic prognostic system to evaluate the overall metabolic disorder burden in cancer patients and its relationship with their prognosis. The patients in this study were enrolled from the Investigation on Nutrition Status and Clinical Outcome of Common Cancers (INSCOC) project.

Theranostic applications in atherosclerosis plaque microenvironment-triggered nanoplatforms are significantly compromised by the complex synthesis procedure, non-specific distribution, and limited therapeutic function. Therefore, development of a facile and feasible method to construct a pathology-based stimuli-responsive nanoplatform with satisfactory theranostic performance remains a demanding and highly anticipated goal. Herein, a novel class of multifunctional supra-carbon dots (CDs), denoted as MM@Ce-CDs NPs, by a simple nanoassembly and a subsequent coating with macrophage membrane (MM), is developed for the targeted reactive oxygen species-trigged theranostic and positive regulation of the pathological plaque microenvironment in AS.
