OBJECTIVE: Efficient prediction of the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is important for the early intervention and management of AD. The aim of our study was to develop a longitudinal structural magnetic res...
BACKGROUND: Subclinical diastolic dysfunction is a precursor for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); yet not all patients progress to HFpEF. Our objective was to evaluate clinical and echocardiographic variables to iden...
Early identification of individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia is important for developing disease-modifying therapies. In this study, given multimodal AD markers and clinical diagnosis of an individual from one or more t...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 was divided into two subgroups by eGFR (45 mL/ min 1.73 m). There is difference in prevalence of CKD, racial differences, economic development, genetic, and environmental backgrounds between China and ...
BACKGROUND: Asthma exacerbation is an acute or subacute episode of progressive worsening of asthma symptoms and can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. However, efficient methods that can help identify personalized risk factors an...
