Vocal intensity is quantified by sound pressure level (SPL). The SPL can be measured by either using a sound level meter or by comparing the energy of the recorded speech signal with the energy of the recorded calibration tone of a known SPL. Neither...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate an interpretable machine learning (ML) model for predicting the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common variants associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, rare coding variant studies have been limited by phenotyping challenges and ...
BACKGROUND: Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) is the last effective way to lose weight whom around half of the patients are women of reproductive age. It is recommended an interval of 12 months between surgery and pregnancy to optimize weight loss an...
BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the important causes of short stature in girls, but there are cases of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice. Our aim is to analyze the hand skeletal characteristics of TS patients and estab...

INTRODUCTION: Cellular Communication Network Factor 6 (CCN6) is an adipokine whose production undergoes significant alterations in metabolic disorders. Given the well-established link between obesity-induced adipokine dysfunction and the development ...
OBJECTIVE: Suicide risk assessment has historically relied heavily on clinical evaluations and patient self-reports. Natural language processing (NLP) of electronic health records (EHRs) provides an alternative approach for extracting risk predictors...
BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) involves molecular alterations and pathway dysregulation. Metabolic interconnections are crucial for normal functioning, yet current analysis focuses on individual pathways or biomarkers, overlooking intric...
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) exhibit a senescence phenotype or an increased susceptibility to premature senescence. However, the relationship between senescence-related genes (SRGs) and MDD remains...
