Preliminary investigation of human exhaled breath for tuberculosis diagnosis by multidimensional gas chromatography - Time of flight mass spectrometry and machine learning.

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health malady that claims almost 1.8 million lives annually. Diagnosis of TB represents perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of tuberculosis control. Gold standards for diagnosis of active TB (culture ...

Role of α-fetoprotein in differentiation of regulatory T lymphocytes.

Doklady biological sciences : proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Biological sciences sections
The effect of native α-fetoprotein (AFP) on the expression of T-regulatory lymphocyte (Treg) markers by activated CD4 lymphocytes with different proliferative status was studied. α-Fetoprotein did not affect the ratio of proliferating and non-prolife...

Comparison of radiofrequency and transoral robotic surgery in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome treatment.

Acta oto-laryngologica
INTRODUCTION: Radiofrequency tissue ablation (RFTA) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) are the methods used in OSAS surgery. We also aimed to compare the advantages and disadvantages of RF and TORS as treatment methods applied in OSAS patients in t...

Automated diagnosis of focal liver lesions using bidirectional empirical mode decomposition features.

Computers in biology and medicine
Liver is the heaviest internal organ of the human body and performs many vital functions. Prolonged cirrhosis and fatty liver disease may lead to the formation of benign or malignant lesions in this organ, and an early and reliable evaluation of thes...

Sleep in patients with disorders of consciousness characterized by means of machine learning.

PloS one
Sleep has been proposed to indicate preserved residual brain functioning in patients suffering from disorders of consciousness (DOC) after awakening from coma. However, a reliable characterization of sleep patterns in this clinical population continu...

Clinical Significance of Urinary Biomarkers in Patients With Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.

The American journal of the medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is often accompanied with tubulointerstitial lesion. This study aimed to assess the role of urinary biomarkers in predicting tubulointerstitial lesion and treatment response in FSGS patients.

Pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine during analgosedation in ICU patients.

Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a fairly new alfa-agonist which has been increasingly used in recent years for analgosedation, mostly because it offers a unique ability of providing both moderate level of sedation and analgesia without respiratory depressio...

Prediction models to identify individuals at risk of metabolic syndrome who are unlikely to participate in a health intervention program.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVES: Since the launch of a nationwide general health check-up and instruction program in Japan in 2008, interest in strategies to improve implementation of the program based on predictive analytics has grown. We investigated the performance of...

Reactive balance control in older adults with diabetes.

Gait & posture
Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem for older adults worldwide and could be associated with impaired ability to recover balance after postural disturbances. This study compared reactive balance control in three groups of adults, young (YA), h...
