Additionally, it discusses the emerging opportunities and challenges associated with these technologies. The findings indicate that AI can be effectively utilized in numerous aspects of oral healthcare, including prevention, early screening, accurate diagnosis, treatment plan design assistance, treatment execution, follow-up monitoring, and prognosis assessment. However, notable challenges persist, including issues related to inaccurate data annotation, limited capability for fine-grained feature expression, a lack of universally applicable models, potential biases in learning algorithms, and legal risks pertaining to medical malpractice and data privacy breaches.

Injured tendons heal slowly and often fail to regain their original structural integrity and mechanical strength, creating significant challenges for physicians. Recently, investigations have reported that polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) plays a key role in promoting tendon healing. For example, preclinical studies indicate that PDRN can enhance tendon repair by inhibiting inflammation and cell apoptosis while promoting collagen production. In clinical studies, the effectiveness and safety of PDRN were also confirmed for managing several conditions, including plantar fasciitis, epicondylitis, Achilles tendinopathy, pes anserine tendinopathy, and chronic rotator cuff disease. In light of these findings, this article aims to review the preclinical and clinical studies that support the role of PDRN in the treatment of tendon disorders. A search was conducted in Medline and PubMed from January 1994 to October 2024 to find relevant research. Ultimately, the review included 3 preclinical studies and 8 clinical studies, involving a total of 318 patients. In conclusion, PDRN is a promising therapeutic option for treating tendon disorders.

Such analyses are essential before making subgroup comparisons. This study investigated the measurement invariance of the Self-Regulated Learning Perception Scale (SRLPS), a tool designed to assess self-regulated learning levels among medical students. The SRLPS consists of 4 categories: motivation and action to learning, planning and goal setting, strategies for learning and assessment, and lack of self-directedness. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 878 medical students spanning the first to final years. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) was employed to assess measurement invariance across genders and years of medical education, categorized as preclinical and clinical years. Invariance was evaluated by comparing model fit indices across successive stages of invariance testing. RESULTS The findings demonstrated that the SRLPS achieved full measurement invariance in both sexes, confirming its suitability for valid comparisons between male and female medical students, with ΔCFI ≤0.01. For year of medical education, configural invariance was established, indicating that the 4-factor structure of the SRLPS is consistent across preclinical and clinical students. However, only partial metric invariance was achieved, suggesting that factor loadings for some items differ between preclinical and clinical groups.

Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) significantly worsen clinical outcomes and often result in hospitalization, which is linked to increased mortality and a substantial socioeconomic burden. This study aimed to evaluate the role of the hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet (HALP) index in predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in adult patients hospitalized for AECOPD. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 793 patients (mean±SD age: 71.5±10.2 years, range 23.8-98.4 years, 69.1% males) hospitalized with AECOPD were included in this retrospective cohort study. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, laboratory findings on the day of hospital admission, intensive care unit (ICU) stay (on initial admission or over the course of hospitalization), and in-hospital mortality rates were recorded. The factors predicting in-hospital mortality risk were analyzed via multivariate logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the performance of HALP score in identifying patients at risk of in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association of lower HALP scores (OR 0.758, 95% CI: 0.586 to 0.980, P=0.034) with increased risk of in-hospital mortality. ROC curve analysis revealed the HALP score to identify patients at risk of in-hospital mortality at a cut-off value of <16.84 (area under curve [AUC]: 0.678, 95% CI: 0.615-0.742, P<0.001) with a sensitivity of 69.1%, specificity of 60.4%, and a NPV of 96.3%. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that the HALP score (at a cut-off value of <16.84) can identify AECOPD patients at high risk of in-hospital mortality, emphasizing its potential use as a simple immune-nutritional prognostic biomarker in assisting accurate prognostic assessment and timely adjustment of treatment options in at-risk patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":48888,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Monitor","volume":"31 ","pages":"e947098"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These tumors exhibit a wide variety of clinical presentations, including syndromic presentations and life-threatening hypertensive crises. Recent advancements in genetic analysis have identified a growing number of pathogenic mutations. In the pediatric population, 70-80% of tumors exhibit germline mutations in known genes, predisposing children to metastatic and multifocal disease.

Plasma-free metanephrines measurement is considered the criterion standard for diagnosis due to its high sensitivity and reliable pediatric reference values. Functional imaging is helpful for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma due to its high sensitivity and specificity, and it plays a crucial role in assessing regional extension, multifocality, and the presence of metastases, which are more frequently reported in children. Following definitive diagnosis and appropriate perioperative management, surgery remains the primary treatment.

PNS results from the secretion of peptides or hormones by tumor cells or from an immunological cross-reaction between the tumor antigens and host antigens. In the adult population, PNS affects up to 15% of patients with cancer, but data on pediatric patients remain lacking. The remarkable fact is that PNS can precede an oncology diagnosis, even by months or years. PNS can involve virtually any organ of the human body. In children, the most commonly involved are the nervous system (encephalitis, opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome), skin (pemphigus, alopecia areata, pruritic skin, pyoderma gangrenosum, skin nevi), rheumatologic (dermatomyositis, vasculitis), liver (atrophic biliary syndrome, idiopathic cholestasis), endocrine system (hypercalcemia, syndrome of inadequate secretion of antidiuretic hormone), kidney (nephrotic syndrome), or hematopoietic system (hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, thrombotic macroangiopathy, leukomoid reaction). PNS can accompany all childhood cancers, but is most common in Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemia, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, and sarcoma. Diagnosis of PNS should begin as early as the suspicion of its unusual course, lack of response to standard treatment, or prolonged duration. Diagnosis should include typical disease-specific tests and simultaneous imaging of the head and neck, abdomen, and pelvis, as well as a bone marrow biopsy to look for malignancy. PNS treatment mainly includes anti-tumor therapy and sometimes additional immunosuppressive therapy.
