Aberrant metabolism is the root cause of several serious health issues, creating a huge burden to health and leading to diminished life expectancy. A dysregulated metabolism induces the secretion of several molecules which in turn trigger the inflamm...
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is currently one of the major causes of death worldwide. If not treated, it may lead to cirrhosis, hepatic carcinoma and death. Ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) is a relatively new, popular, non-invasive techn...

An understanding of the dose-response during training is important to identify the rehabilitation programs to obtain the improvement in chronic stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether distance-dose (distance walked across ...
BACKGROUND: A rising number of conversational agents or chatbots are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) architecture. They are increasingly prevalent in health care applications such as those providing education and support to patients with c...
When making an appointment, patients are generally unaware of how much clinician time is available to address their concerns. Similarly, the primary care clinician is often unaware of what the patient expects to accomplish during the visit, leading t...
