Our present study suggests a linear and robust relationship between SIRI and prevalent hyperuricemia, which implicates the value of SIRI to optimize the risk stratification and prevention of hyperuricemia.

There are both biological (sex) and socio-cultural (gender) factors, compounded by socio-economic factors and ethnicity, that impact on the aftermath of what has occurred over the short time that this novel coronavirus has been circulating the world. The potential life-long morbidity as a result of the infection and as a consequence of highly invasive critical care treatment needs to be factored into the rehabilitation of survivors. There are also many men whose lives will have been severely affected both physically and emotionally by the pandemic without ever contracting the disease, with the widespread disruption to normal existence and its impact on their social world and the economy. The implications of the closure of many healthcare services over the initial lockdown will also have both a shorter- and longer-term impact on other diseases due to missed early diagnosis and disrupted treatment regimes. Getting effective public health messages out to the population is critical and this current pandemic is demonstrating that there needs to be a more focused view on men's health behavior. Without effective public support for preventative action, the more likely the disease will continue its path unabated. This review explores the wider ramifications of the disease both for those men who have survived the disease and those that have been affected by the wider social effects of the pandemic. The pandemic should be a wake-up call for all involved in the planning and delivery of health and social care for the greater attention to the central role of sex and gender.Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood neoplasia characterized by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells. Various treatments such as stem cell transplant (SCT), proteasome inhibitors, immune-modulating drugs, monoclonal antibodies and selective inhibitors of nuclear export have been routinely used to treat MM. However, relapse and treatment resistance are common problems in MM patients. Treatments are enhanced by Dexamethasone (Dex), a synthetic steroid that activates the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) which leads to apoptosis. To evaluate the potential impact of GR expression on overall survival, MM patient data from the CoMMpass study of 650 patients were analyzed. Multivariate modeling results show that increased GR expression at diagnosis is associated with a decreased risk of dying relative to those with lower levels of expression. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the maxilla is a rare disease. In contrast with a mandibular predominance, maxillary ORN has not been widely reported. To review clinical features, surgical treatments, and results of maxillary ORN and offer recommendations for surgical decision-making. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of maxillary ORN at our hospital between 2002 and 2017. Clinical data were collected, including age, sex, primary tumor characteristics, radiotherapy dose, clinical findings of maxillary ORN, and treatment outcomes. Descriptive statistics and multiple factors were analyzed. Twenty-four patients were included for analysis. The primary symptoms of maxillary ORN were pain, trismus, pus, bone exposure, and skin fistula. Twenty (83.3%) patients were completely cured after single-operati
