Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has been associated with abnormal lipid metabolism. To characterize the lipid profile in Chinese, 86 patients with psoriasis and 84 healthy control subjects were assessed. Compared with healthy co...
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for the parotid gland neoplasms to make an accurate preoperative diagnosis due to the restriction of biopsy in the parotid gland neoplasms. The aim of this study is to apply the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) m...
Application of personalized medicine requires integration of different data to determine each patient's unique clinical constitution. The automated analysis of medical data is a growing field where different machine learning techniques are used to mi...
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...
