Trimodal organ‑preserving treatment of muscle‑invasive bladder cancer by A. V. Troianov, I. O. Dementev, I. N. Zaborsky, V. S. Chaykov, O. B. Karyakin, Yu. V. Gumenetskaya

“…The modern approach to trimodal therapy (TMT) is as follows: complete transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB), neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, subsequent assessment of the response to treatment (re‑staging with TURB) should be performed; with a complete pathomorphological response, a course of remote radiation therapy up to TFD 60–66 Gy in the case of traditional fractionation (focal radiation therapy and the use of hypofractionation modes are also possible), using modern irradiation technologies (IGRT, IMRT). …”

Machine learning-based prediction of in-hospital mortality for critically ill patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury by Tianyun Gao, Zhiqiang Nong, Yuzhen Luo, Manqiu Mo, Zhaoyan Chen, Zhenhua Yang, Ling Pan

“…According to the SHAP plots, old age, low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, high AKI stage, reduced urine output, high Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), high respiratory rate, low temperature, low absolute lymphocyte count, high creatinine level, dysnatremia, and low body mass index (BMI) increased the risk of poor prognosis.Conclusions The RF model developed in this study is a good predictor of in-hospital mortality for patients with SA-AKI in the intensive care unit (ICU), which may have potential applications in mortality prediction.…”
