OBJECTIVE: Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as bladder pain syndrome (BPS), is a debilitating chronic disease. There are few treatment options for IC/BPS refractory to current medical therapy. This study investigated the clinical efficacy of in...
BACKGROUND: Hunner's interstitial cystitis (HIC) is a complex disorder characterized by pelvic pain, disrupted urine storage, and Hunner lesions seen on cystoscopy. There are few effective diagnostic biomarkers. In the present study, we used the nov...
OBJECTIVE: To improve diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome(IC) we hereby developed an improved IC risk classification using machine learning algorithms.
BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and interstitial cystitis (IC) are two highly debilitating conditions that often coexist with reciprocal effect, significantly exacerbating patients' suffering. However, the molecular underpinnings linking ...
BACKGROUND: The etiology of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/BPS) remains elusive, presenting significant challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. To address these challenges, we employed a comprehensive approach aimed at identif...
PURPOSE: To identify biomarkers for diagnosis and classification of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) by urinary lipidomics coupled with machine learning.
