Sepsis, characterized as a systemic inflammatory response triggered by the invasion of pathogens, represents a continuum that may escalate from mild systemic infection to severe sepsis, potentially resulting in septic shock and multiple organ dysfunc...
Disrupted cytokine networks and autoantibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, conflicting reports and non-reproducibility have hindered progress regarding the translational potential of cytokines ...
AIMS: Natriuretic peptide-based pre-heart failure screening has been proposed in recent guidelines. However, an effective strategy to identify screening targets from the general population, more than half of which are at risk for heart failure or pre...

BACKGROUND: There are no known non-invasive tests (NITs) designed for accurately detecting metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with liver fibrosis stages F2-F3, excluding cirrhosis-the FDA-defined range for prescribing Resmetirom ...
The clinical spectrum of Alzheimer's disease (AD) ranges dynamically from asymptomatic and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to mild, moderate, or severe AD. Although a few disease-modifying treatments, such as lecanemab and donanemab, have been develo...
Current approaches for cardiac amyloidosis (CA) identification are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and present challenges in sensitivity and accuracy, leading to limited treatment efficacy and poor prognosis for patients. In this retrospective study...
Feature extraction and selection from medical data are the basis of radiomics and image biomarker discovery for various architectures, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We herein describe the typical radiomics steps and the components o...
Rapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is crucial for optimal patient management. Accurate diagnosis and time of onset of an acute event can influence treatment plans, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI is most benefi...
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis constitutes approximately 75% of nephrolithiasis cases, resulting from the supersaturation and deposition of CaOx crystals in renal tissues. Despite their prevalence, precise biomarkers for CaOx nephrolithiasis ...
BACKGROUND: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a critical strategy to rehabilitate marginal donor lungs, thereby increasing lung transplantation (LTx) rates. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably occurs during LTx. Exploring the common mechanism...
