Comparison of RETREAT and CCFSS Scoring Systems for Risk Estimation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence After Radical Resection
CONCLUSION: The RETREAT score demonstrates higher efficacy compared to the CCFSS score in predicting postoperative recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and can serve as a valuable tool for the prognostic evaluation of HCC patients who undergo radical resection. The RETREAT score's superiority can be attributed to its higher area under the curve (AUC) and improved sensitivity and specificity, which allow for better discrimination between positive and negative cases. This enhanced accuracy enables clinicians to make more informed decisions towards post-surgical management and treatment strategies, ultimately...

Altern Ther Health Med. 2023 Sep 8:AT9086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently one of the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide, a serious public health problem. Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication of COPD. At present, the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension is not clear. A concise overview of the known factors contributing to pulmonary hypertension in COPD includes hypoxia and inflammation. Hypoxia, resulting from lung damage and inadequate oxygen supply, can lead to pulmonary vasoconstriction and increased vascular resistance, thus contributing to the...
