OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) can serve as a prognostic marker in patients with sepsis. METHODS: Chinese and English databases were searched to retrieve the included literature. The pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC) of the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using the bivariate model...

BACKGROUND: It is known that even if spontaneous circulation returns after cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) in geriatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests(OHCA), the overall one-year survival rate of these patients is very low. In our study, we aimed to investigate the factors affecting survival in OHCA cases. METHODS: OHCA patients over 18 years of age were examined in two different groups as 18-64 years old and over 65 years old. Demographic data, comorbidities, cardiac arrest rhythms and minutes, and the number of days they were hospitalized in the intensive care unit were recorded...

BACKGROUND: Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) inhibitors are now being tried in basic research and clinical practice in prostate cancer (PCa). However, the causal relationship between JAK2 and PCa has not been uniformly described. Here, we examined the cause-effect relation between JAK2 and PCa. METHODS: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis of genetic variation data of JAK2, PCa from IEU OpenGWAS Project was performed by inverse variance weighted, MR-Egger, and weighted median...

BACKGROUND: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive tumor with a high metastatic potential, particularly affecting current or former heavy smokers. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, often combined with radiotherapy, and immunotherapy for extensive disease. Prophylactic cranial irradiation is recommended to reduce brain metastases. Elderly SCLC patients face unique challenges due to frailty and comorbidities, leading to increased risks of treatment-related toxicity and malnutrition...

BACKGROUND: Primary urothelial carcinoma in the prostate (UCP) is extremely rare and occurs most frequently in the bladder. There are only dozens of primary cases reported in the literature. Here, we describe a rare case of primary UCP and review the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old widowed male, was referred to our hospital due to the frequency, and urgency of dysuria. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination revealed prostate size was about 57 mm × 50 mm × 54 mm, increased prostatic transitional zone, and surrounding of prostatic duct indicate bar isointense T1, short T2, hyperintense DWI, and hyposignal ADC (PI-RADS 3); posterior of peripheral zone indicate patchy isointense T1, short T2, hyperintense DWI, and hyposignal ADC (PI-RADS 5)...

BACKGROUND: China is one of the countries with the fastest growing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the world. This study intended to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of FHL5 and LPA with DM risk in the Chinese population. METHODS: This case-control study involved 1,420 Chinese individuals (710 DM patients and 710 controls). Four candidate loci (rs2252816/rs9373985 in FHL5 and rs3124784/rs7765781 in LPA ) were successfully screened...

BACKGROUND: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most important cellular components in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) and are involved in the development and immunosuppression of BLCA. Therefore, we aimed to construct a CAF-associated signature for predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy response in patients with BLCA. METHODS: CAF infiltration and stromal score were quantified using two algorithms. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify the CAF-associated modules and hub genes...

PURPOSE: Hypogonadism is associated with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms that can affect the overall health of men. However, in a developing country, there are several imposing challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of hypogonadism, including a lack of awareness and understanding of the condition among healthcare providers and patients, limited resources and the high cost of treatment. This review aimed to examine the potential benefits and risks of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and provides a perspective of a developing country on the topic...

Some evidence have suggested that various nutrients and inflammatory factors might influence the lower urinary tract function. However, the correlation between diet and urinary flow rate (UFR) is not clear. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and UFR. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2009-2016. The dependent and independent variables were UFR and DII score, respectively...

Functional hypogonadism is a condition characterized by low testosterone concentrations, occurring more commonly in men as they age. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is used to categorize the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and related symptoms in hypogonadal men. Testosterone therapy (TTh) has previously shown potential in improving total IPSS in men with hypogonadism. However, concerns regarding the effects of urinary function following TTh often prevent treatment in hypogonadal men...

BACKGROUND: Formal risk assessment is crucial for diabetes prevention. We aimed to establish a practical nomogram for predicting the risk incidence of prediabetes and prediabetes conversion to diabetes. METHODS: A cohort of 1428 subjects was collected to develop prediction models. The LASSO was used to screen for important risk factors in prediabetes and diabetes and was compared with other algorithms (LR, RF, SVM, LDA, NB, and Treebag). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to construct the prediction model of prediabetes and diabetes, and drawn the predictive nomogram...
