TRAF3 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for recurrent pregnancy loss: insights from single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), characterized by multiple miscarriages, remains a condition with unclear etiology, posing significant challenges for affected women and couples. This study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms of RPL, ...

Contrastive functional connectivity defines neurophysiology-informed symptom dimensions in major depression.

Cell reports. Medicine
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly heterogeneous, posing challenges for effective treatment due to complex interactions between clinical symptoms and neurobiological features. To address this, we apply contrastive principal-component analysis ...

C2 pars interarticularis length on the side of high-riding vertebral artery with implications for pars screw insertion.

Scientific reports
C2 pars interarticularis length (C2PIL) required for pars screws has not been thoroughly studied in subjects with high-riding vertebral artery (HRVA). We aimed to measure C2PIL specifically on the sides with HRVA, define short pars, optimal pars scre...

Exploring voice as a digital phenotype in adults with ADHD.

Scientific reports
Current diagnostic procedures for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are mainly subjective and prone to bias. While research on potential biomarkers, including EEG, brain imaging, and genetics is promising, it has yet to demonstrate clin...

The Gut Microbiota in Young Adults with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Its Performance as Diagnostic Biomarkers.

Nutrients
Diagnosing ASD in adults presents unique challenges, and there are currently no specific biomarkers for this condition. Most existing studies on the gut microbiota in ASD are conducted in children; however, the composition of the gut microbiota in c...

Identification of a panel of volatile organic compounds in urine for early detection of for bladder cancer.

Scientific reports
The absence of specific markers makes early detection of bladder cancer (BC) challenging. Recent studies have reported the reliable diagnostic significance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in several cancers. This study aimed to investigate wheth...

The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

Investigation of serum neuroserpin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia: a prospective case-control study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...

Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cells loaded with cholesterol (foam-VSMCs) play a crucial role in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) is a critical protein in the regulation of vascular t...
