Quantification of Skeletal Muscle at the First Lumbar Level for Prognosis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by Yujia Cao, Baoyu Yuan, Xiuyu Jiang, Chunming Xie, Di Wu, Zhijun Zhang

“…ALSFRS‐R scores correlated with L1 SMA (r = 0.35, p < 0.001), L1 SMI (r = 0.34, p < 0.001), L1 PMA (r = 0.27, p = 0.007) and L1 PMD (r = 0.27, p = 0.007). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that L1 SMA (HR = 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.94–0.98, p = 0.001), L1 SMD (HR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.88–0.96, p < 0.001) and L1 PMA (HR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.01–1.11, p = 0.022) significantly influenced ALS survival, with area under the curves (AUCs) of 0.687 and 0.851 for 1‐ and 3‐year OS prediction. …”

Assessment of pulmonary function in COPD patients using dynamic digital radiography: A novel approach utilizing lung signal intensity changes during forced breathing by Noriaki Wada, Akinori Tsunomori, Takeshi Kubo, Takuya Hino, Akinori Hata, Yoshitake Yamada, Masako Ueyama, Mizuki Nishino, Atsuko Kurosaki, Kousei Ishigami, Shoji Kudoh, Hiroto Hatabu

“…Results: SImax/SImin showed the highest correlation with VC (rs = 0.54, P < 0.0001), followed by FEV1 (rs = 0.44, P < 0.0001), both of which are key indicators of COPD pathophysiology. In a multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for confounding factors, SImax/SImin was significantly lower in the severe COPD group compared to the normal group (P = 0.0004) and mild COPD group (P=0.0022), suggesting its potential usefulness in assessing COPD severity. …”

“…Among NOM successful patients, recurrence has occurred in 8 patients. In multivariate analysis, poor bowel wall enhancement (OR: 8.59; 95% CI: 1.14– 64.59, p=0.037) and high level of obstruction (OR: 11.64; 95% CI: 1.34– 100.85, p=0.026) in computed tomography (CT) scan were independently associated with NOM failure.Conclusion: Poor bowel wall enhancement and significant obstruction on CT images are critical indicators for selecting SBO patients requiring urgent surgery. …”
