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.

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one of the commonest epileptogenic lesions, and is related to malformations of the cortical development. The findings on magnetic resonance (MR) images are important for the diagnosis and surgical planning of FCD. In...
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25-30% of the general population and is characterized by the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) that can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis and cirr...
Alternative stress echocardiography protocols such as handgrip exercise are potentially more favorable towards large-scale screening scenarios than those currently adopted in clinical practice. However, these are still underexplored because the maxim...
