OBJECTIVE: Functional cure is currently the highest goal of hepatitis B virus(HBV) treatment.Pegylated interferon(Peg-IFN) alpha is an important drug for this purpose,but even in the hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg)-negative population,there is still a p...
Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) present a significant global health challenge characterized by a rising prevalence. These highly heterogeneous diseases involve complex pathophysiological mechanisms, leading to variable treatment efficacies across...
Computer-vision and machine-learning (ML) approaches are being developed to provide scalable, unbiased, and sensitive methods to assess mouse behavior. Here, we used the ML-based variational animal motion embedding (VAME) segmentation platform to ass...
INTRODUCTION: Tinnitus, the perception of sound without an external auditory stimulus, affects approximately 10-15% of the population and is often associated with significant comorbidities such as headaches. These conditions can severely impact the q...
Despite advancements in detection and treatment, tuberculosis (TB), an infectious illness caused by the Mycobacterium TB bacteria, continues to pose a serious threat to world health. The TB diagnosis phase includes a patient's medical history, physic...
