Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition continues to be a leading cause of stunted growth in many countries. This study aimed to investigate serum nesfatin-1 and orexin-A levels in underweight children and the potential correlations of these levels with anthropometr...

Effect of Maternal Factors and Fetomaternal Glucose Homeostasis on Birth Weight and Postnatal Growth.

Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: It is important to identify the possible risk factors for the occurrence of large for gestational age (LGA) in newborns and to determine the effect of birth weight and metabolic parameters on subsequent growth. We aimed to determine the ef...

Characterization of complexity in the electroencephalograph activity of Alzheimer's disease based on fuzzy entropy.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
In this paper, experimental neurophysiologic recording and statistical analysis are combined to investigate the nonlinear characteristic and the cognitive function of the brain. Fuzzy approximate entropy and fuzzy sample entropy are applied to charac...

Mutation analysis of 6 spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) types in patients from southern Turkey.

Turkish journal of medical sciences
BACKGROUND/AIM: Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are complex clinical and genetically heterogeneous, mostly autosomal dominant neurodegenerative diseases. At present, more than 30 hereditary SCA types have been associated with different gene mutations....

Effects of Rivaroxaban Therapy on ROTEM Coagulation Parameters in Patients with Venous Thromboembolism.

Advances in clinical and experimental medicine : official organ Wroclaw Medical University
BACKGROUND: Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) does not require routine coagulation monitoring; however, in certain clinical situations (overdose, drug accumulation, urgent surgery) measurement of its plasma concentration is highly recommended. Currently, there i...

Semantic Web Ontology and Data Integration: a Case Study in Aiding Psychiatric Drug Repurposing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
There remain significant difficulties selecting probable candidate drugs from existing databases. We describe an ontology-oriented approach to represent the nexus between genes, drugs, phenotypes, symptoms, and diseases from multiple information sour...
