The adsorption and release mechanism of different aged microplastics toward Hg(II) via batch experiment and the deep learning method.

Aged microplastics are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment, which inevitably accumulate metals, and then alter their migration. Whereas, the synergistic behavior and effect of microplastics and Hg(II) were rarely reported. In this context, the adsorptive behavior of Hg(II) by pristine/aged microplastics involving polystyrene, polyethylene, polylactic acid, and tire microplastics were investigate...

Combining a deep learning model with clinical data better predicts hepatocellular carcinoma behavior following surgery.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common cancers worldwide, and tumor recurrence following liver resection or transplantation is one of the highest contributors to mortality in HCC patients after surgery. Using artificial intelligence (AI), we developed an interdisciplinary model to predict HCC recurrence and patient survival following surgery. We collected whole-slide H&E images, c...

Incorporation of quantitative imaging data using artificial intelligence improves risk prediction in veterans with liver disease.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Utilization of electronic health records data to derive predictive indexes such as the electronic Child-Turcotte-Pugh (eCTP) Scor...

Regulatory effects of mangiferin on LPS-induced inflammatory responses and intestinal flora imbalance during sepsis.

Studies suggest that mangiferin (MAF) has good therapeutic effects on chronic bronchitis and hepatitis. Also, it is one of the antiviral ingredients i...

Addressing diagnostic dilemmas in eosinophilic esophagitis using esophageal epithelial eosinophil-derived neurotoxin.

OBJECTIVES: Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) is a viable marker of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) disease activity. We studied the utility of measu...

Anti-infliximab antibodies and low infliximab levels correlate with drug discontinuation in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

BACKGROUND: Infliximab (IFX) use is limited by loss of response often due to the development of anti-IFX antibodies and low drug levels.
