Epidemiological Trends and Shared Molecular Signatures of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Diabetes: An Integrative Analysis Based on Global Burden of Disease and Gene Expression Omnibus Datasets

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, and diabetes mellitus has been recognized as both a risk factor for and a potential consequence of PDAC. However, the epidemiological trends and shared molecular mechanisms underlying this association are not completely understood. Methods: We conducted an integrative analysis combining population-level epidemiological data and transcriptomic datasets. ...

Serum Thyroid Biomarkers for Diagnosing Malignant Thyroid Nodules: A Machine Learning Approach with External and Causal Validation

Background: Thyroid nodules (TNs) are common, and accurate malignancy risk stratification is critical for clinical decision-making. Although serum thyroid biomarkers are routinely measured, their contribution to malignancy discrimination remains insufficiently characterized. Thus, we aimed to develop a practical and biologically grounded model for identifying malignant TNs using routinely clinical data. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 5537 patients ...
