Evaluation of patient immunocompetence for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy using the psoas muscle index: a retrospective cohort study by Toshiaki Tsurui, Toshiaki Tsurui, Toshiaki Tsurui, Toshiaki Tsurui, Kazuyuki Hamada, Emiko Mura, Risako Suzuki, Nana Iriguchi, Tomoyuki Ishiguro, Yuya Hirasawa, Ryotaro Ohkuma, Masahiro Shimokawa, Hirotsugu Ariizumi, Yutaro Kubota, Atsushi Horiike, Satoshi Wada, Satoshi Wada, Kiyoshi Yoshimura, Kiyoshi Yoshimura, Mayumi Tsuji, Yuji Kiuchi, Yuji Kiuchi, Takuya Tsunoda

“…Logistic regression analysis showed that PMI was associated with the overall response (odds ratio [OR]: 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–2.22; p = 0.030) and the risk of severe irAEs (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.05–2.80; p = 0.031).ConclusionThese findings suggest that PMI is both an indicator of prognosis and a surrogate marker of immunocompetence in predicting the clinical response to ICI therapy.…”

Ultra‐short‐term versus short‐term measures of heart rate variability in specialist police units: A pilot reliability study by Colin D. Tomes, Elisa F. D. Canetti, Ben Schram, Robin Orr

“…Heart rate variability (HRV) is one field‐deployable measure that may be suitable in this context. However, with logistical challenges present in this population, determining if 30 s; rather than more the typical 5‐min ECG data collection, provides sufficient reliability may be beneficial for reducing the logistical barrier to adoption of HRV monitoring in SWAT personnel. …”
