Respiratory diseases significantly affect respiratory function, making them a considerable contributor to global mortality. The respiratory muscles play an important role in disease prognosis; as such, quantitative analysis of the respiratory muscles...
BACKGROUND: Current diagnostic methods cannot effectively distinguish between latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active tuberculosis (ATB). This study aims to explore novel non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for LTBI and to elucidate possible m...
INTRODUCTION: In 2021, the International Diabetes Federation reported that 537 million people worldwide are living with diabetes. While glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists provide significant benefits in diabetes management, approximately 40% of patient...
The steady progress in consumer electronics, together with improvement in microflow techniques, nanotechnology, and data processing, has led to implementation of cost-effective, user-friendly portable devices, which play the role of not only gadgets ...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate machine learning models for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) within a Taiwanese cohort, with an emphasis on identifying significant predictors and comparing the performance of various models.
The human transcriptome predominantly consists of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), transcripts that do not encode proteins. The noncoding transcriptome governs a multitude of pathophysiological processes, offering a rich source of next-generation biomarkers....
OBJECTIVE: Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative condition characterized mostly by motor symptoms. Although a wide range of non-motor symptoms (NMS) are frequently experienced by PD patients. One of the important and common NMS...
