BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Women who smoke face greater health risks than men, including higher rates of cardiovascular disease and more pronounced declines in lung function. Des...
BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) education in China has evolved significantly, shaped by both national policy and social needs. Despite this, the academic community has yet to fully explore the long-term trends and core issues in TCM ed...
Continuous biomarker monitoring is revolutionizing chronic disease management, with glucose monitoring for diabetes as the primary example. Given the success of this approach, a transition to continuous protein monitoring (CPM, a real-time, implantab...
Recent studies have established a reciprocal causal link between aging and the activation of transposable elements, characterized in particular by a de-repression of LINE-1 retrotransposons. These LINE-1 elements represent 21% of the human genome, bu...
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), particularly Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), is a non-invasive, non-convulsive neuromodulation technique that induces clinically relevant network modulations with long-term effects. Two TBS protocols- continuou...
PURPOSE: Postoperative fever is a common complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) that occurs even in patients with sterile urine cultures. Traditional risk-assessment tools are insufficient in this subset of patients. This study ai...
CONTEXT: Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) is a sphingosine kinase that can catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to generate sphingosine-1-phosphate. The J-type channel of SPHK1 plays an important role in processes such as cell signaling. Therefore...
Neuroimaging studies of brain function are important research methods widely applied to stroke patients. Currently, a large number of studies have focused on functional imaging of the gray matter cortex. Relevant research indicates that certain areas...
OBJECTIVES: Current dental CBCT segmentation tools often lack accuracy, accessibility, or comprehensive anatomical coverage. To address this, we constructed a densely annotated dental CBCT dataset and developed a deep learning model, OraSeg, for toot...
