Vitamin D has been considered to regulate calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and to preserve skeletal integrity. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is the best indicator of vitamin D levels. The association of serum 25(OH)D deficiency with increased...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish and assess the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) prediction model for suicide attempt, so as to improve the individual prediction accuracy.
Converging evidences from different lines of research suggest abnormalities in functional brain connectivity in schizophrenia. While positively correlated brain networks have been well researched, anticorrelated functional connectivity remains under ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The neuropeptide catestatin (CST) is an endogenous nicotinic cholinergic antagonist that acts as pleiotropic cardiac protective hormone. This study investigated the association between CST and coronary artery disease (CAD) and th...
