Postcardiac arrest syndrome yields poor neurological outcomes, but the mechanisms underlying this condition remain poorly understood. Autophagy plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia. However, whether autophagy is involved ...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a machine learning model based on quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters to improve classification of steatohepatitis with shear wave elastography in rats by using histopathology scoring as the reference standard.
BACKGROUND: Oxygen/ozone therapy is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of radiculitis from lumbar disc herniation. This study aimed at investigating whether intrathecal administration of low-concentration oxygen/ozone could attenuate ch...
Technologies for mapping the spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity have advanced our understanding of brain function in both health and disease. An important application of these technologies is the discovery of next-generation neurotherap...
Morphological characteristics of muscle fibers, such as their cross-sections, are important indicators of the health and function of the musculoskeletal system. However, manual analysis of muscle fiber morphology is a labor-intensive and time-consumi...
Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension during pregnancy, is associated with a proinflammatory profile compared to normal pregnancy (NP). We hypothesize that CD4 T cells from PE patient placentas cause PE symptoms during pregnancy compared to those...
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting 50 million individuals globally. Modern research has inspected the likelihood of forecasting epileptic seizures. Algorithmic investigations are giving promising results for seizure prediction. Though most...
