Sperm metabolomic signatures of asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia in Chinese reproductive-age men.

Scientific reports
Asthenozoospermia and teratozoospermia are common causes of male infertility. Despite their prevalence, the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted targeted metabolomic profiling of sperm samples from 131...

Development of an electronic health record-based Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) risk prediction model for women, incorporating social determinants of health.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV transmission but has low uptake among women. Identifying women who could benefit from PrEP remains a challenge. This study developed a women-specific model to...

Plasma Lyso-PE 22:6 and Lyso-PE 20:4 are associated with development of mild to moderate depression revealed by metabolomics: a pilot study.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Mild to moderate depression (MMD), as an early stage of depression, has a high incidence and may progress to severe depression, even leading to suicide. The lack of effective screening and treatment is due to the unknown metabolic changes...

Metabolomic biomarkers could be molecular clocks in timing stroke onset.

Scientific reports
The preferred treatment for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) administered within 4.5 hours (h) of symptom onset. This study aimed to identify metabolomic biomarkers for distinguishing AIS patients within 4.5 h of symptom...

Enrichment of extracellular vesicles using Mag-Net for the analysis of the plasma proteome.

Nature communications
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in plasma are composed of exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. We report a plasma EV enrichment strategy using magnetic beads called Mag-Net. Proteomic interrogation of this plasma EV fraction enables the detect...

Machine learning analysis of kinematic movement features during functional tasks to discriminate chronic neck pain patients from asymptomatic controls.

Scientific reports
This study evaluated the discriminative potential of a machine learning model using movement features during functional tasks to distinguish between patients with non-traumatic chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls. The study included patients ...

Identifying ovarian cancer with machine learning DNA methylation pattern analysis.

Scientific reports
The majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) continue to be diagnosed at an advanced stage despite great advances in this disease treatment. To impact overall survival, we need better methods of EOC early diagnosis. We performed a ca...

Different prefrontal cortex activity patterns in bipolar and unipolar depression during verbal fluency tasks based on functional near infrared spectroscopy study.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to investigate the functionality of the prefrontal cortex in patients with unipolar depression (UD) and bipolar depression (BD) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during a verbal fluency task (VFT). Additionally, it ...

Harnessing artificial intelligence for detection of pancreatic cancer: a machine learning approach.

Clinical and experimental medicine
PURPOSE: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignancies, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms and a dismal prognosis. Despite advancements in treatments, the 5-year survival rate remains low, highlighting the urgent need for effe...

Oral and Gut Dysbiosis in Migraine: Oral Microbial Signatures as Biomarkers of Migraine.

Neurology(R) neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emerging evidence suggests that oral health conditions may exacerbate migraine, and saliva is a potential source of biomarkers for migraine. The 3-way interaction of the oral-gut-brain axis has been implicated in several ne...
