Identification of key genes associated with butyrate metabolism in keratoconus through Mendelian randomization and transcriptomic analysis.

BACKGROUND: Keratoconus (KC) is a degenerative corneal disease with a complex etiology that severely affects vision. Butyrate is a saturated short-chain fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. Accumulating evidence underscores a significant role for inflammation in KC pathogenesis. However, the specific role of butyrate metabolism in KC remained unclear. This study aimed to identify key gene...

Enhancing COVID-19 forecasts with a lightweight multi-head depthwise separable convolution network.

To address the challenge of forecasting COVID-19 with limited data, this paper presents CDSCnet (Chunking Depthwise Separable Convolution network). It is a lightweight model designed for small datasets, employing three fixed convolution heads to capture long-term dependencies without relying on recurrent units. Through a comprehensive comparative analysis with existing models, including CNN-LSTM v...
