Is There Really a Difference in Outcomes between Men and Women with Hepatocellular Cancer?

Andrea Fa, Denise M. Danos, Lauren Maniscalco, Yong Yi, Xiao-Cheng Wu, Mary A. Maluccio, Quyen D. Chu, John M. Lyons III

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a male-dominated disease, but the gender differences are still not well defined. This study analyzed data from a tumor registry to investigate the demographics, comorbidities, treatment patterns, and cancer-specific survival (HSS) among HCC patients by gender. The study included 2627 HCC patients, with 498 (19%) being women. Women with HCC were older, more obese, and diagnosed at an earlier stage compared to men. Women had a lower incidence of liver associated comorbidities and underwent liver-directed surgery more often. When controlling for treatment, there were no survival differences between genders. African American race did not seem to influence outcomes among women with HCC as it did in men.

Growth contributions of technological change: Is there a burden of knowledge effect?

Christian William Callaghan

Summary: The burden of knowledge perspectives suggest that returns to investments in research decline over time, despite technological change. Through longitudinal data analysis from 2003 to 2016 for 78 countries, it was found that scientific output has a U-shaped relationship with growth for countries above a certain threshold. Innovative capability components show no time trend with growth, supporting the idea that innovative capability is not necessarily linked to growth in most countries.

Silk fibroin production in Escherichia coli is limited by a positive feedback loop between metabolic burden and toxicity stress

Zhengyang Xiao, Alexander J. Connor, Alyssa M. Worland, Yinjie J. Tang, R. Helen Zha, Mattheos Koffas

Summary: This study investigates the metabolic flexibility and limitations in the production of recombinant silk proteins in Escherichia coli. It reveals that metabolic burden leads to metabolic flux redistribution and changes in the Ent-ner-Doudoroff pathway. Additionally, accumulation of acetate is highly toxic to silk-producing strains, resulting in decreased silk protein production. The study proposes three solutions to address these issues and discusses other strategies.

Differences in the global exposure, mortality and disability of low bone mineral density between men and women: the underestimated burden in men

Binxiang Zhu, Shian Hu, Jianfeng Guo, Zijian Dong, Yimin Dong, Feng Li

Summary: When discussing osteoporosis, we often pay more attention to post-menopause women who are at higher risk due to estrogen depletion, while neglecting the disease in men. This study aimed to compare the prevalence and burden of low bone mineral density (LBMD) between men and women using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019). We found that LBMD prevalence was higher in women, but men had significantly higher mortality and disability rates, especially in middle and high social development countries.

What data collection methods work best for COVID19 outbreak surveillance for people with end stage kidney disease? An observational cohort study using the UK Renal Registry

Shalini Santhakumaran, Manuela Savino, Fran Benoy-Deeney, Retha Steenkamp, James Medcalf, Dorothea Nitsch

Summary: This study compared two methods of data collection for COVID-19 infections among patients on kidney replacement therapy in England. The results showed that direct submission of data by renal centers allowed real-time monitoring for patients undergoing in-center hemodialysis treatment. For other kidney replacement therapy modalities, using a national swab test dataset through frequent linkage may be the most effective method. Optimizing central surveillance can improve patient care by informing interventions and assisting planning at local, regional, and national levels.
