Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important public health problem worldwide. In addition to the impairment in functionality, the large number of complications which lead to hospitalizations results in high treatment costs. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of hospitalizations, mortality rate and hospital costs, as well as to observe the temporal trend of hospitalizations and length of hospital stay due to DM between 2008 and 2019 in Brazil.

This is a longitudinal descriptive study in which all data regarding hospital admissions registered in the Brazilian system of Hospital Information of "Sistema Único de Saúde" (SIH/SUS; http//datasus.saude.gov.br ) due to DM (ICD-10) were included. Comparisons among the groups were performed by an unpaired Student's t-test, two-way ANOVA with a Tukey post hoc test (p < 0.05).

An increased hospitalization of 1.83% due to DM was observed between 2008 and 2019 in Brazil. The Southeastern region had the highest incidence (34.6%) and mortality rate when compared to the other regions (p < 0.05). We also found that females were more likely to be hospitalized in comparison to males, without a statistically significant difference. Finally, a progressive increase of hospitalizations and mortality rate were observed according to age groups, as well as increased spending due to DM hospitalizations over the years.

Hospitalizations due to DM in Brazil showed an expressive increase over the last 12 years, and there is a need for primary healthcare interventions to help reduce this situation.

Patient engagement (PE) in planning or improving hospital facilities or services is one approach for improving healthcare delivery and outcomes. To provide evidence on hospital capacity needed to support PE, we described the attributes of hospital PE capacity associated with clinical quality measures.

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of general and specialty hospitals based on the Measuring Organizational Readiness for Patient Engagement framework. We derived a PE capacity index measure, and with Multiple Correspondence Analysis, assessed the association of PE capacity with hospital type, and rates of hand-washing, C. difficile infection rates and 30-day readmission.

Respondents (91, 66.4%) included general < 100 beds (48.4%), 100+ beds (27.5%), teaching hospitals (11.0%) and specialty (13.2%) hospitals. Most featured PE in multiple clinical and corporate departments. Most employed PE in a range of Planning (design/improve facilities 94.5%, develop strategic plans 87.9%), Evaluation/Quality Impr resources. Future research should explore how PE modes and methods impact clinical outcomes.

Hospitals with fewer resources can establish favourable PE conditions by deploying PE widely and actively engaging patients. Healthcare policy-makers, hospital executives and PE managers can use these findings to allocate PE resources. Future research should explore how PE modes and methods impact clinical outcomes.

The tumorigenesis of prostate cancer involves genetic mutations. Tumour mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were the most common variant type, and C>T transversion was the most commonly presented type of single-nucleotide variant. The high-TMB group had lower overall survival (OS) than the low-TMB group. TMB was associated with age, T stage and N stage. Functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed that they are involved in pathways related to the terms spindle, chromosomal region, nuclear division, chromosome segregation, cell cycle, oocyte meiosis and other terms associated with DNA mutation and cell proliferation. Six hub genes, PLK1, KIF2C, MELK, EXO1, CEP55 and CDK1, were identified. G Protein antagonist All the genes were associated with disease-free survival, and CEP55 and CDK1 were associated with OS.

The present study provides a comprehensive analysis of the significance of TMB and DEGs and infiltrating immune cells related to TMB, which provides helpful information for exploring the significance of TMB in prostate cancer.

The anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody introduces adaptable variations to the transcriptome and triggers tumor immune infiltration, resulting in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment resistance. We intended to identify genes that play essential roles in cetuximab resistance and tumor immune cell infiltration.

A cetuximab-resistant CACO2 cellular model was established, and its transcriptome variations were detected by microarray. Meanwhile, public data from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were downloaded. Integrated bioinformatics analysis was applied to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the cetuximab-resistant and the cetuximab-sensitive groups. Then, we investigated correlations between DEGs and immune cell infiltration. The DEGs from bioinformatics analysis were further validated in vitro and in clinical samples.

We identified 732 upregulated and 1259 downregulated DEGs in the induced cellular model. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyally, patients with advanced CRC and high ORP-1 expression exhibited a longer progression-free survival time when they were treated with anti-EGFR therapy than those with low ORP-1 expression.

SATB-2, ORP-1, MYB, and CDX-2 were related to cetuximab sensitivity as well as enhanced tumor immune cell infiltration in patients with CRC.

This study aimed to reflect on scientific experts' and executive stakeholders' opinions on how charitable organizations can participate in the health care system properly and cope with problems, challenges, strategies, and executive requirements at three major levels of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.

A total number of 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted with scientific experts and executive stakeholders, selected for this qualitative study, based on an interview guide. Using the purposeful sampling method, we selected scientific experts with 5 years of experience in the health care system and executive stakeholders who had 5 years of experience in charitable activities. We applied a framework method for data analysis, and the main themes were extracted through MAXQDA software.

Our findings revealed that charitable organizations at the major levels of the health care system, i.e., prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, possessed the necessary capacities to provide services effectively.
