OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis and Ankylosing spondylitis are two common autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases that negatively affect activities of daily living and can lead to structural and functional disability, reduced quality of life. Here...
Muscle volume must increase substantially during childhood growth to generate the power required to propel the growing body. One unresolved but fundamental question about childhood muscle growth is whether muscles grow at equal rates; that is, if mus...
BACKGROUND: As advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) continue, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as promising tools for generating medical information. Their rapid adaptation and potential benefits in health care require rigorous asses...
