Early Hypertension Linked to a Poorer Prognosis in T2D
In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), both young-onset hypertension (onset before the age of 45 years) and late-onset hypertension (onset at the age of 45 years or later) were associated with higher risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD), congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and all-cause mortality, with young-onset hypertension linked to poorer outcomes.

Ulcerative Colitis With Background Mucosal Inflammation Signals Poor Survival in Colorectal Cancer
Among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who develop colorectal cancer (CRC), greater background mucosal inflammation at the time of CRC diagnosis is associated with progressively worse survival outcomes, with tumors arising within the UC鈥慽nvolved segment having worse prognosis.

Adding Radiotherapy to TACE May Improve Early HCC Survival
In a comparative study, the early addition of radiotherapy to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) was associated with improved 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival compared with TACE alone among patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

High-Dose Rifampin Fails to Improve TB Meningitis Survival
High-dose rifampin -- 35 mg/kg daily -- administered for 8 weeks showed no reduction in mortality rate compared with standard-dose rifampin -- 10 mg/kg daily -- in patients with tuberculous meningitis but was accompanied by more early deaths and slower normalization of mental status.
