Summary: This study found that bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in women undergoing non-malignant hysterectomy was associated with increased all cause mortality, particularly in younger women. However, this surgical procedure did not have a detrimental effect on survival in postmenopausal women.

Summary: The study found that higher levels of greenness near residential areas were associated with lower all-cause mortality among patients undergoing multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment in areas with lower nighttime light. This association was particularly strong for female patients, younger patients (<60 years old), those living in urban areas, or with high exposure to PM2.5 particles.

Summary: This study examines the association between dispositional optimism and all-cause mortality after esophageal cancer surgery, considering the effects of tumor stage and the COVID-19 pandemic. It finds that higher dispositional optimism is associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, especially among patients with early and intermediate esophageal cancer and before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This study found that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of mortality from various causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. However, heavy drinking and binge drinking are associated with a higher risk of mortality.

Summary: Population-based screening for colorectal cancer using FIT is recommended. Detectable faecal haemoglobin can indicate colorectal neoplasia as well as other conditions. A positive FIT predicts an increased risk of death from colorectal cancer but might also predict an increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: Research conducted in Korea shows that patients with IPF have a high age-standardized mortality rate, with survival rates decreasing year by year. The mortality rate of IPF patients is significantly higher compared to the general population in Korea, with respiratory causes being the leading cause of death for IPF patients.

Summary: This study determined the optimal levels of LDL-C in patients with type 2 diabetes and found U-shaped associations between lower and higher mean LDL-C levels and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The study also found that in patients using statin medications, both lower and higher levels of LDL-C were associated with increased risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the sensitivity of FDG-PET/CT with that of(67)Ga-SPECT for identifying the site of greatest importance for the final diagnosis of FUO, and found that FDG-PET/CT had significantly higher sensitivity and clinical impact compared to(67)Ga-SPECT.

Summary: This study used SEM analysis to identify prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality in severe sepsis patients, finding that the 72-hour physical condition was the strongest variable affecting mortality, and the SOFA score was the strongest factor influencing mortality.

Summary: Delayed bleeding after cold snare polypectomy was rare even in patients with antithrombotic therapy, and no major delayed bleeding occurred. Larger polyp size, use of clips, and antithrombotic therapy were significant risk factors for delayed bleeding.

Summary: This study validates the diagnostic accuracy of I-123-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy for Lewy body diseases against autopsy, demonstrating its ability to differentiate LBDs from similar diseases. Abnormal findings strongly support the presence of LBD and cardiac sympathetic denervation. However, normal myocardial scintigraphy results should not exclude LBD pathology, especially when comorbid Alzheimer disease pathology is suggested by other biomarkers.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system using nonmagnified endoscopic white-light images to diagnose early-stage colorectal cancers (CRCs). The CADx system showed high specificity and accuracy for diagnosing T1b lesions, surpassing trainees and comparable to experts. The CADx system has promising potential for clinical application.

Summary: This study investigated the association between SNPs in the LPA region and cancer incidence and mortality in Japanese individuals. The results showed that none of the 25 SNPs in the LPAL2-LPA region were significantly associated with overall cancer incidence or mortality. However, some SNPs were found to be associated with stomach cancer incidence and mortality in men, as well as colorectal cancer incidence in men and prostate cancer incidence in carriers of certain SNPs. Further analysis using different cohorts is needed to confirm these findings.
