The predicted value for venous thromboembolism based on a modified model of caprini combined with fasting blood glucose and D-dimer: a retrospective study by Ping Wang, Yusi Yang, Lin Zheng, Xiaotong Qi, Sheng Yan, Honglin Dong

“…Caprini + FBG + D-dimer showed the greatest ROC (0.784, 95% CI 0.730–0.837, Delong test P = 0.002 vs. Caprini’s ROC). D-dimer and FBG have a significant increase in the predictive effect for predicting DVT in terms of NRI (59.98% improvement, P < 0.001) and IDI (9.55% improvement, P < 0.001), showing the best net benefit for predicting DVT when the threshold probability was between 27 and 91%. …”

“…Exogenous DNA, both allogeneic and belonging to various taxa induces BMCs apoptosis. Plasmid DNA has the greatest effect on apoptosis induction.The analysis of reduction and restoration of BMC subpopulations as the mice progressed to death revealed a virtually complete loss of the 12–20-mkm fraction of the cell population (about 3–4 % vs. 35–40 % in the control), which corresponds to the maximum leukopenia on day 3 after CP treatment. …”

Clinical implication of NT-proBNP to predict mortality in patients with acute type A aortic dissection: a retrospective cohort study by Rui Zhang, Hao Wang, Chenxi Song, Rui Fu, Kefei Dou, Shuai Liu, Qianqian Liu, Xiaohui Bian, Weida Liu, Chengang Zhu, Jingjing Gao, Sheng Yuan, Xinming Cui, Sijia Qin, Yumeng Li

“…Notably, the predictive performance of NT-proBNP for 1-year mortality was greater in patients receiving surgery than conservative treatment (between-cohorts difference in area under the curve 0.13, Delong’s test p=0.04).Conclusion NT-proBNP provides incremental prognostic information for mortality in patients with acute type A aortic dissection who underwent surgical repairment, which could aid in risk stratification as a pragmatic and versatile biomarker in this critically ill population while having limited prognostic value for those receiving conservative treatment.…”
