TL;DR: A new coma score, the FOUR (Full Outline of UnResponsiveness) score, which provides greater neurological detail than the GCS, recognizes a locked‐in syndrome, and is superior to the G CS due to the availability of brainstem reflexes, breathing patterns, and the ability to recognize different stages of herniation.

TL;DR: PaC is a powerful diabetogenic state; DM associated with PaC is often new-onset, resolves following cancer resection, and appears to be associated with conventional risk factors for DM.

TL;DR: To determine whether inherited germline mutations in cancer predisposition genes are associated with increased risks of pancreatic cancer, a case-control study of patients diagnosed as having pancreaticcancer and enrolled in a Mayo Clinic registry between October 12, 2000, and March 31, 2016 was conducted.

TL;DR: Patients with RA who undergo total hip or knee replacement are at increased risk of prosthetic joint infection, which is further increased in the setting of revision arthroplasty and a previous prosthetics joint infection.

TL;DR: This uniquely large pooled analysis confirms that current cigarette smoking is associated with a twofold increased risk of pancreatic cancer and that the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked and duration of smoking.
