BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted, arthritogenic alphavirus that causes sporadic outbreaks of often debilitating rheumatic disease. The recently approved CHIKV vaccine, IXCHIQ, is based on a live-attenuated CHIKV strain ...
OBJECTIVE: The detection kit for plasma Chitinase-3-like Protein 1 was developed using the magnetic bead chemiluminescence method, in order to investigate the diagnostic value of DD, FDP, CHI3L1, AFP-L3 and PIVKA-II in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Solanine has been shown to inhibit cancer by regulating the expression of apoptosis (Bax, Bcl-2) and metastasis (CDH-1, MMP2) genes in various cancer cell types. We synthesized optimized niosome NPs (NPs) with high solubility and capacity for solanin...
BACKGROUND: Despite significant advances in AI-driven medical diagnostics, the integration of large language models (LLMs) into psychiatric practice presents unique challenges. While LLMs demonstrate high accuracy in controlled settings, their perfor...
OBJECTIVES: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease. Chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) is instrumental in IPF management, and the Quantitative Lung Fibrosis (QLF) score is a computer-assisted metric for quantifyin...
BACKGROUND: For patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, surgical resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is an effective treatment to control seizures. Accurate localization of the EZ is crucial and is typically achieved through comprehensive p...

In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intake of oral carbohydrates versus standard preoperative fasting prior to elective cesarean delivery on plasma purine levels (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) in...
