Abstract Malnutrition is linked to adverse outcomes in post-cardiac surgery patients. This study investigates the correlation between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and adverse hospital outcomes in patients following cardiac surgery. This retrospective study included elderly patients with heart disease who were admitted to the Department of Cardiology, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the cut-off value (98 g/dL). Data from 407 patients were assessed, with 278 (68.3%) classified as having nutritional risk and 129 (31.7%) as having no nutritional risk. Notable distinctions were observed in body weight, BMI, and left ventricular ejection fraction (P

Abstract The Indo-Pacific king mackerel, scientifically known as Scomberomorus guttatus, is a valued marine species that holds significant commercial importance in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the lack of genomic resources has hindered a comprehensive understanding of this species. In this study, we constructed a genome of Indo-Pacific king mackerel at the chromosome level using a combination of PacBio HiFi reads and a chromosome contact map (Hi-C). The resulting genome had high contig and scaffold N50 values of 8.84 Mb and 32.9 Mb, respectively. In the genome assembly, which is 797.66 Mb in size and consists of 24 chromosomes, we also identified 35.89% repetitive elements and predicted 25,886 protein-coding genes. Our study not only benefits to reveal the possible mechanism of adaptive evolution in this fish, but also offers insight for the future sustainable management of these valuable biological resources.
