Anomaly detection methods in time series data can play a pivotal role in epidemic surveillance Early Warning Systems (EWS). Statistical and rules-based methods have been traditionally employed in such systems, but are challenged by data dynamics and ...
BACKGROUND: Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is the most common subtype of porphyria and results from a deficiency of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. Even after successful treatment, patients can be left with significant scarring, and there i...
Hepatitis C virus infection is a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. Although direct-acting antivirals achieve over 90% success rate, treatment failures still occur, particularly when pan-genotypic DAAs are unavailable, a...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) contributed as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many studies only showed it associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction and albuminuria, but none revealed hematuria data. Besides, liver...
A 53-year-old man with active hepatitis C and cirrhosis presented with a vasculitic rash, myalgias, and fatigue, and was found to have an elevated cardiac troponin I up to 15.7 ng/mL with normal electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and coronary angiogr...
