INTRODUCTION: With chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney becomes damaged overtime and fails to clean blood. Around 15% of US adults have CKD and nine in ten adults with CKD do not know they have it.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) data and a support vector machine (SVM) as an automatic classifier. Forty-eight MS patients without symptoms of op...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide recently discovered as an important regulatory adipokine in obesity and related metabolic diseases. The aim of the current study was to determine the potential role of Circulating levels of SPX in ...
BACKGROUND: microRNA is a class of small non-coding RNA molecules involved in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. MicroRNAs are detectable in blood in stable concentrations, which makes them promising biomarkers for various diseases.
OBJECTIVE: Epistasis identification is critical for determining susceptibility to human genetic diseases. The rapid development of technology has enabled scalability to make multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) measurements an effective calcula...
BACKGROUND: Egypt is among the countries with the highest incidence of bladder cancer (BC). Adipokines involved in BC development. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic and prognostic roles of irisin in BC through its function as an adipokine.
PURPOSE: To investigate two deep learning-based modeling schemes for predicting short-term risk of developing breast cancer using prior normal screening digital mammograms in a case-control setting.
