Karnofsky performance status predicts outcomes in candidates for simultaneous liver‐kidney transplant

Frailty, as assessed by KPS, is associated with poor outcomes in SLKT pre‐ and post‐transplant and was also associated with increased liver and kidney graft losses and with hospital length of stay.

Impact of Physical Function on 1-Year Kidney Transplant Outcomes

Patients needing none or some assistance did not demonstrate a significant difference in 1-year graft failure in either deceased or living donor transplantation, and death for those needing total assistance in deceased donor kidney transplantation was the same.

The data provide a theoretical basis for the early detection and diagnosis of the desire to accelerate death of patients with advanced cancer.

Analysis of heart rate variability and accelerometry in patients following surgery for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer

Early mobilization for patients following surgery for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer can be performed without increasing HRV and with energy expenditure and IPA similar to those found in patients without cancer.

Outcome measures in neurosurgery: Is a unified approach better? A literature review

Outcome measures in neurosurgery, including mRS, GOS, and KPS, are widely utilized assessment tools for patients’ outcomes in various neurosurgical specialties and a unified global measure may offer solutions with ease of use and application; however, there are limitations.

Excess Body Weight and Cancer-Related Fatigue, Systemic Inflammation, and Serum Lipids in Breast Cancer Survivors

Obese breast cancer survivors had greater levels of CRF, inflammatory markers and certain fatty acids, and inflammatory markers and fatty acids were not found to have any mediating or positive association with CRF variables in this analysis.

Apatinib combined with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy can prolong advanced gastric cancer patients’ survival times and improve their quality of life

Apatinib combined with 3D-CRT can improve tumor markers and the quality of life, reduce the inflammatory response, and prolong the survival times of advanced gastric cancer patients.

Abstract. MicroRNAs (miRs) transferred by exosomes can function as non-invasive potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis in various types of cancer. The present study examined the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum exosomal-(exo-)miR-210 levels in association with hypoxic condition

Serum levels of exo-miR-210 may serve as a diagnostic, prognostic and hypoxia biomarker to reflect glioma status and hypoxic signatures.

Cisplatin combined with capecitabine-induced chemotherapy for local nasopharyngeal carcinoma can improve the quality of life and reduce toxic and side effects

Cisplatin combined with capecitabine-induced chemotherapy for local NPC can improve the quality of life and reduce the toxic and side effects.

Exosomal microRNA-210 is a potentially non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of glioma.

Serum levels of exo-miR-210 may serve as a diagnostic, prognostic and hypoxic biomarker to reflect glioma status and hypoxia signatures in patients withglioma.

A Karnofsky performance status–based score predicts death after hospital discharge in patients with cirrhosis

Cirrhosis patients at risk for 3‐month postdis discharge mortality can be identified using a novel KPS‐based score; this score may be adopted in practice to guide postdischarge early interventions, including the integrated provision of active and palliative management strategies.
