Bioinformatics and Machine-Learning Identification of Pulmonary Hypertension Biomarkers and Candidate Therapeutic Compounds.

This study aimed to identify pulmonary hypertension (PH)-associated molecular biomarkers and candidate small-molecule compounds using public transcriptomic data and independent validation resources. Three Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE22356, GSE33463, and GSE48149) were integrated following normalization, probe annotation, and ComBat batch-effect correction. Differential expression analysis...

Research Progress of Diabetes-related Glaucoma: Mechanisms, Impacts and Management Strategies.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a highly prevalent metabolic disorder, is increasingly recognised for its significant association with glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. This review systematically synthesises recent advances in understanding DM-related glaucoma, focusing on its epidemiological links, core pathophysiological mechanisms and contemporary management strategies. The review ...

Predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine in statin-treated patients with NSTE-ACS, HFpEF, and type 2 diabetes: a data-driven model for long-term residual risk assessment.

BACKGROUND: Despite significant advances in guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), statin-treated patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary sy...

Left ventricular hypertrophy as a predictor of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in chronic hypertension in pregnancy: a multicenter study.

OBJECTIVE: The impact of chronic hypertension (CHTN) combined with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on adverse maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes...

Triglyceride-glucose frailty index, metabolic-frailty phenotypes, and mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury: Derivation, interpretation, and external validation.

BACKGROUND: Prognosis remains heterogeneous among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). We evaluated the triglyceride-glucose frailt...

Glycolysis, Inflammation, and Mitochondrial Dysfunction: New Perspectives on the Pathogenesis of Hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies show enhanced glycolysis is linked to chronic diseases, but its relationship with hypertension is unclear. This study explo...

Association between stomach pain and depression in middle-aged and older chinese adults: Evidence from CHARLS with machine learning and SHAP analysis.

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence indicates a bidirectional relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms and psychological distress, yet population-base...

The Eye as a Window to Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Disease.

The Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome reframes cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic disease as an integrated continuum, yet its manageme...

Characterization of Genetic Risk Factors of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Based on Large-scale Transcriptome Profiling.

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a major contributor to stroke and dementia, and it endangers the health of older individuals (>50 years old). ...

OBJECTIVE: To systematically compare the differences in urinary organic acid metabolic profiles between patients with urinary calculi and non-calculi ...

Federated learning for MRI-based BrainAGE: A multicenter study on post-stroke functional outcome prediction.

OBJECTIVE: Brain-predicted age difference (BrainAGE) is a neuroimaging biomarker reflecting brain health, with potential implications for post-stroke ...

Associations of Iron Indicators with Cognitive Impairment Risk in Postmenopausal Women: Evidence from a Matched Case-Control Study and Back Propagation Neural Network Model.

Iron is essential for normal cognitive function, and women have nearly twice the age-matched prevalence of cognitive impairment compared with men. The...

Metabolic signatures and machine learning identify gut-liver-heart axis dysfunction as a potential link to major adverse cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease.

BACKGROUND: Traditional risk factors do not fully account for the residual cardiometabolic risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in coron...

Identifying Complementary Therapeutic Relationships for Drug Repurposing via Spectral-Spatial Graph Contrastive Learning.

Drug repurposing facilitates the discovery of novel therapies by identifying alternative indications for clinically approved drugs. However, many exis...

The Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension International Risk Score: A Prediction Model for Outcomes Using Machine Learning.
