BACKGROUND: Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) imposes a substantial global health and economic burden. Although chronological age (CA) is a key risk factor, it poorly reflects interindividual aging heterogeneity. Biological age (BA), which is qua...
PURPOSE: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality in women worldwide, with notable disparities in incidence and prognosis across regions. This systematic review explores the application of Deep Learning-based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD)...
Glioblastoma is an aggressive, malignant primary brain tumour and the most prevalent histological type of glioma. Our study attempted to investigate the independent predictors of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in Asian patie...
A substantial portion of lung cancer-associated genetic elements in East Asian populations remains unidentified, underscoring the need for large-scale genome-wide studies, particularly on non-coding regulation. We conducted a whole genome sequencing ...
Brain age has emerged as a powerful tool to understand neuroanatomical aging and its link to health outcomes like cognition. However, there remains a lack of studies investigating the rate of brain aging and its relationship to cognition. Furthermore...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have significantly advanced osteoporosis research by identifying genetic loci associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. However, disparities persist due to the underreprese...

INTRODUCTION: Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding Singapore's PTB trends and associated risk factors can inform effective strategies for screening and intervention. This study anal...
BACKGROUND: Our research team previously found that fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21, a circulating hormone, was significantly associated with atherosclerosis in human and animal models. The relationship between FGF21 and blood pressure (BP) is rare...
BACKGROUND: Isolated Impaired Glucose Tolerance (I-IGT) represents a specific prediabetic state that typically requires a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diagnosis. This study aims to predict glucose tolerance status in Chinese Ha...
BACKGROUND/ AIMS: The lack of context for anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) measurements impedes its clinical utility. We established the normative distribution of anterior chamber depth (ACD), area (ACA) and width (ACW) and lens ...
