Uncovering the mortality burden of lung cancer with documented sleep apnea in the United States: a 22-year population-based study
Abstract Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and sleep apnea may identify a clinically vulnerable subgroup of patients with lung cancer. However, population-level mortality patterns involving lung cancer with documented sleep apnea remain unclear. This study examined long-term trends, disparities, geographic variation, socioeconomic patterns, and future projections of related mortality in the United States.
Cross-sectional comparative evaluation of five large language model–driven chatbots on an expert-curated 44-question set of parent-facing questions about pediatric vitamin D deficiency
Abstract Background: Parents and caregivers increasingly use generative artificial intelligence chatbots for child health information. Pediatric vitamin D deficiency is a clinically relevant topic because advice about supplementation, testing, rickets, high-risk children, toxicity, and emergency symptoms can influence caregiver decisions.
Source-renewing ectopic ApoB-TRL lipolysis in non-resolving ARDS: a testable spatial hypothesis
Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may remain regionally permeable and poorly reparative after the initiating insult has weakened. We propose that, in a biologically enriched subset of non-resolving ARDS, repeated entry of circulating apolipoprotein B-containing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (ApoB-TRLs) into an injured perivascular or interstitial compartment provides a renewable substrate for local injury.
Factors associated with poor cardiometabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes: a Lasso-Firth penalized regression analysis
Abstract Objective: To assess cardiometabolic control among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Shanxi Province and identify variables associated with poor cardiometabolic control. Methods: Data on demographic characteristics, medical history, Knowledge–Attitude–Practice (KAP) questionnaire scores, and clinical measurements of blood pressure, glucose, and lipid levels were collected from seven hospitals in Shanxi Province between June 2024 and June 2025.

Expression of Nectin‐4 and Trop‐2 in upper tract urothelial carcinoma: implications for biomarker‐driven antibody‐drug conjugate therapy
Introduction Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the second most common genitourinary tract cancer, affecting over 80,000 new patients and causing more than 17,000 deaths annually in the United States [1]. Compared to UC in the urinary bladder (UCB), upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is relatively rare, accounting for 5–10% of all UCs [1].

Bioequivalence Study of Tadalafil Oral Soluble Film and Tadalafil Tablet in Healthy Chinese Volunteers Under Fasting Conditions
1 Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common disease in andrology, which brings about not only an unsatisfactory sexual experience but also mental distress. The prevalence of ED increased from 6% to 64% with age [1], and it was predicted that the ED-affected population worldwide would increase to about 322 million by 2025 [2]. In the treatment of ED, phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors have become the first-line choice [3].
Delayed Massive Hemothorax Induced by Tunneled Dialysis Catheter Placement via the Left Internal Jugular Vein: A Case Report
1 Introduction The tunneled dialysis catheter is a reliable vascular access for patients with end-stage kidney disease who depend on hemodialysis, particularly those with poor or difficult vascular anatomy [1]. Rare but fatal complications associated with catheterization have been documented, including arterial puncture, injury of great vessels, cardiac tamponade, and pneumothorax or hemothorax.
Correlation analysis of serum endothelial cell specific molecule-1, endothelial microparticles, hypoxia inducible factor-1α levels and acute myocardial infarction and their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events: a retrospective study
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the ischaemic necrosis of the myocardium, is an acute and critical type of coronary heart disease. Its clinical manifestations are persistent severe retrosternal pain, often accompanied by a sense of impending death and fever. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is the key biomarker of AMI (Kala et al., 2024). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) are a substantially hazard to the mental and physical well-being of patients with AMI and may occur after therapy.

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4: A predictor of ferroptosis in ulcerative colitis
With its rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence, ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a major global health challenge. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the development of UC. However, the relationship between ferroptosis and the progression of UC needs to be extensively studied. The differentially expressed genes in UC patients were screened from the GEO database. The ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from FErrDB and GeneCards.

Aurora Kinase A Inhibition plus Tumor Treating Fields Suppress Glioma Cell Proliferation in a Cilium-Independent Manner
Abstract Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) have been shown to extend the survival of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. TTFields interfere with a broad range of cellular processes which may contribute to their efficacy. Among these, TTFields disrupt primary cilia stability on GBM cells. Here we asked if concomitant treatment of TTFields with other agents that interfere with GBM ciliogenesis can further suppress GBM cell proliferation in vitro.
Enhanced 3D Pose Estimation in Multi-Person, Multi-View Scenarios through Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Dropout Discriminator
5. Experiments In this section, we verify the feasibility of the proposed Domain Adaptive VoxelPose model. Utilizing the Panoptic [9] dataset as the source domain, the performance of the technique is examined in two distinct scenarios of domain shift: (1) An outdoor environment, where the Campus [10] test dataset captures three individuals interacting outdoors through three calibrated cameras.
Increasing Ciliary ARL13B Expression Drives Active and Inhibitor-Resistant Smoothened and GLI into Glioma Primary Cilia
1. Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal form of primary brain tumors in adults, presumably originating from a transformed glial cell lineage [1]. GBMs also evolve from lower grade gliomas [2,3,4]. GBMs inevitably recur and the average patient survival from diagnosis averages 15–18 months despite standard-of-care therapies (surgery, temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, and irradiation) [5,6].

Illumina sequencing data from the salivary glands of H. nipponia were deposited to NCBI SRA database under accession number SRP126617. A total of 89,867,368 Illumina paired-end raw reads were identified ( Table 1 ). In total, 84,657,362 clean reads were obtained by filtering out adaptor sequences, ambiguous nucleotides, and low-quality sequences.
Sequence-activated AND logic dual-channel fluorescent probe for tracking programmable drug release
Translation of biomarker sensing into programmable diagnostics or therapeutic applications in vivo is greatly challenging, especially for eliminating the ‘false positive’ signals from OR logic gates. Herein we present a sense-of-logic dual-channel nanoprobe, operating through a sequence-activated AND logic gate by responsing ultra-sensitive pH and subsequently triggering with biothiol for controllablly releasing anti-cancer drug.
