RATIONALE: Individuals homozygous for the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) Z allele (Pi*ZZ) exhibit heterogeneity in COPD risk. COPD occurrence in non-smokers with AAT deficiency (AATD) suggests that inflammatory processes may contribute to COPD risk indepe...
BACKGROUND: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) share overlapping pathogenic mechanisms including adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation mediated by adipokines. However, the sp...
Altered gut metabolites are important for the inflammatory progression in children with NAFLD. Fecal and plasma samples were collected from 145 subjects including 53 non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), 39 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 53 obes...
BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), but its invasive nature limits its applicability for widespread screening. Identifying non-invasive molecular markers could improve CAD classific...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of inflammatory and nutritional indices for adverse cardiovascular events (ACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using...
PURPOSE: Various immune mediators have crucial roles in the pathogenesis of intraocular diseases. Machine learning can be used to automatically select and weigh various predictors to develop models maximizing predictive power. However, these techniqu...
The Pediatric Acute Liver Failure (PALF) study is a multicenter, observational cohort study of infants and children diagnosed with this complex clinical syndrome. Outcomes in PALF reflect interactions among the child's clinical condition, response to...
We performed RNA-seq and high-resolution mass spectrometry on 128 blood samples from COVID-19-positive and COVID-19-negative patients with diverse disease severities and outcomes. Quantified transcripts, proteins, metabolites, and lipids were associa...
