We evaluated whether predicted continuous disease representations could enhance genetic discovery beyond case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) phenotypes across eight complex diseases in up to 485,448 UK Biobank participants. Predicted ph...
Motor outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) have long been the primary diagnostic criteria and treatment targets. While non-motor outcomes of PD impact daily well-being, they are rarely targeted by interventions or utilized for classification. Despite...
The specific role of lysophospholipids (LysoPLs) in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not yet fully understood. We determined serum LysoPLs in 20 patients with stable COPD and 20 healthy smokers using liquid chromato...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory condition posing challenges in identifying biomarkers for onset, severity and treatment responses. Here we investigate the plasma proteome in a longitudinal cohort of 278 RA patients, alongside 60 ...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its spatial distribution and structural alterations remain understudied. We aim to develop a shape-aware, AI-based method for automated ...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary Nodules (PNs) are a trend considered as the early manifestation of lung cancer. Among them, PNs that remain stable for more than two years or whose pathological results suggest not being lung cancer are considered benign PNs (BP...
Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) in children lack objective and effective diagnostic methods to assess consciousness states, hindering targeted treatment selection and delaying recovery. It remains unclear whether EEG microstate analysis, ...
Exhaled breath samples of lung cancer patients (LC), tuberculosis (TB) patients and asymptomatic controls (C) were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified as possible biomarke...
Preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) complicate 5-10% of pregnancies and are major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Here we demonstrate that measuring circulating cell-free RNAs (cfRNAs) from maternal plasma can a...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious global health concern that poses a significant threat to human life. Beyond its direct impact, diabetes substantially increases the risk of developing severe complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disea...
