This study estimates the demand for ICU healthcare resources based on an accurate prediction of the surge in the number of critically ill patients in the short term. The aim is to provide hospitals with a basis for scientific decision-making, to improve rescue efficiency, and to avoid excessive costs due to overly large resource reserves.

Clinical guidelines recommend early mobilization and rehabilitation (EMR) for patients who are critically ill. However, various barriers impede its implementation in real-world clinical settings. In 2018, the Japanese universal healthcare coverage system announced a unique fnancial incentive scheme to facilitate EMR for patients in intensive care units (ICU).

Chemoradiotherapy is a critical treatment for patients with locally advanced and unresectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and it is essential to identify high-risk patients as early as possible owing to the high incidence of radiation pneumonitis (RP). This study aimed to investigate the value of computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics combined with genomics in analyzing the risk of grade≥2 RP in unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity management is essential to provide high-quality healthcare for critically ill patients. Yet, consensus on the most favorable ICU design is lacking, especially whether ICUs should deliver dedicated or non-dedicated care. The decision for dedicated or non-dedicated ICU design considers a trade-off in the degree of specialization for individual patient care and efficient use of resources for society.

Health professionals in Colombian and many parts of the world, in some cases, work in precarious conditions and intend to migrate to other countries in search of better living conditions for themselves and their families, which results in inadequate distribution worldwide and in the quality of care throughout the health system, which can ultimately influence the quality of life of patients in their health-disease processes.

Strong cultures of workplace safety and patient safety are both critical for advancing safety in healthcare and eliminating harm to both the healthcare workforce and patients. However, there is currently minimal published empirical evidence about the relationship between the perceptions of providers and staff on workplace safety culture and patient safety culture.

Glycometabolism and lipid metabolism are critical in cancer metabolic reprogramming. The primary aim of this study was to develop a prognostic model incorporating glycometabolism and lipid metabolism-related genes (GLRGs) for accurate prognosis assessment in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).

Combination therapy is the primary treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). The hepatic functional reserve is also critical in the treatment of HCC. In this study, u-HCC was treated with combined hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors to analyze the therapeutic response, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety.

Tumor morphology, immune function, inflammatory levels, and nutritional status play critical roles in the progression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). This multicenter study aimed to investigate the association between markers related to tumor morphology, immune function, inflammatory levels, and nutritional status with the prognosis of ICC patients.

Bladder cancer (BC) is among the most prevalent malignant urothelial tumors globally, yet the prognosis for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains dismal, with a very poor 5-year survival rate. Consequently, identifying more effective and less toxic chemotherapeutic alternatives is critical for enhancing clinical outcomes for BC patients.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a non-small cell carcinoma. Ribonuclease/angiogenin inhibitor 1 (RNH1) exerts multiple roles in virous cancers. E2F1 is a critical transcription factor involved in the LUAD development. Here, we analyze the expression of RNH1 in LUAD patients, investigate the biological function of RNH1 in LUAD, and demonstrate its potential mechanisms through E2F1 in LUAD.

Screening of cancer is the maximum effort and critical element for providing health related care in order to decrease cancer related dealt because of the disease burden is in its advanced stages. Unfortunately, advanced-stage presentation and late diagnosis of cancers endure a problem in low-income countries including Ethiopia. However, there is scarcity of published articles about the problem in Ethiopia.

Predicting tumor responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is critical for evaluating prognosis and designing treatment strategies for patients with breast cancer; however, there are no reliable biomarkers that can effectively assess tumor responses. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of using extracellular vesicles (EVs) to predict tumor response after NAC.

In the time that has elapsed since the publication of the first edition, significant advances have altered the way we care for surgical patients. Continuing progress in surgical critical care enables us to operate an older and sicker patients. More effective means of maintaining adequate circulation and oxygenation in the face of sepsis and other complications continue to reduce surgical mortality.
