The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Predicts Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes in the Oldest‐Old With Colorectal Cancer: A Multi‐Institutional Analysis of 225 Nonagenarians

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multi‐institutional study evaluated the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in 225 nonagenarians undergoing surgical resection for colorectal cancer. A lower preoperative GNRI was independently associated with a longer hospital stay and poorer overall survival, even after adjustment for confounders using inverse‐probability‐of‐treatment ...

Preoperative Total Iron‐Binding Capacity Is a Potential Surrogate Marker of Long‐Term Outcomes After Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative low serum total iron‐binding capacity (TIBC) was associated with poorer overall survival and recurrence‐free survival after pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. These findings suggest that preoperative serum TIBC may serve as a simple surrogate marker for long‐term outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatectomy.

Prognostic Significance and Clinical Robustness of the HALP Score in Super‐Elderly Patients Undergoing Curative Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter study of 507 patients aged ≥ 80 years who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer, a low preoperative HALP score was independently associated with poor overall survival. This association remained consistent across multiple complementary analyses, and low HALP was also associated with both cancer‐specific and other‐cause ...

Automating AI Discovery for Biomedicine Through Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models Agents

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel framework that automates biomedical discovery by integrating knowledge graphs with multiagent large language models. A biologically aligned graph exploration strategy identifies hidden pathways between biomedical entities, and specialized agents use this pathway to iteratively design AI predictors and wet‐lab validation ...
