Purpose: This study primarily elucidating the specific mechanism of SIRT2 on neuroinflammation and microglial pyroptosis in a mouse model of SAH.
Patients And Methods: CSF were collected from 57 SAH patients and 11 healthy individuals. C57BL/6 mouse SAH model was established using prechiasmatic cistern blood injection and the in vitro hemoglobin (Hb) stimulation microglia model.
Background: The American Heart Association recently published guidelines on how to clinically identify and categorize individuals with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. The extent to which CKM syndrome prevalence and prognosis differ by sex remains unknown. This study aimed to examine the impact of sex on trends in prevalence over 30 years and the long-term prognosis of CKM syndrome in the United States.

Here, a flexible metal-organic framework, Ni(ina), (ina = isonicotinic acid) is employed to effectively discriminate xylene isomers. The adsorbent with adaptive deformation accommodates the shapes of isomer molecules, thereby translating their subtle shape differences into characteristic framework deformation energies.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of sacroiliac screw implantation assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printed faceted honeycomb guide plate in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture.
Methods: The clinical data of 40 patients with posterior pelvic ring fractures treated with sacroiliac screw implantation between December 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 18 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws fixation assisted by 3D printed faceted honeycomb guide plate (guide plate group), and 22 cases were treated with sacroiliac screws percutaneously fixation under fluoroscopy (conventional group).

Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) algorithms for detecting MM from fundus images could potentially improve diagnosis and assist screening in a variety of health care settings.
Objectives: To evaluate DL algorithms for MM classification and segmentation and compare their performance with that of ophthalmologists.

Objective: Nondisplaced femoral neck fractures constitute a substantial portion of these injuries. The optimal treatment strategy between internal fixation (IF) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) remains debated, particularly concerning cost-effectiveness.
Methods: We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov decision model to compare HA and IF in treating nondisplaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients in China.

Understanding and addressing the dynamics of infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019, are essential for effectively managing the current situation and developing intervention strategies. Epidemiologists commonly use mathematical models, known as epidemiological equations (EE), to simulate disease spread. However, accurately estimating the parameters of these models can be challenging due to factors like variations in social distancing policies and intervention strategies.

Therapies targeting ferroptosis are beneficial for recovery from TBI. Paeoniflorin (Pae) is a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside and the active ingredient of Paeonia lactiflora pall.

A key strategy to combat myopia is with early detection and prediction in children as such examination allows for effective intervention using readily accessible imaging technique. To this end, we introduced DeepMyopia, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled decision support system to detect and predict myopia onset and facilitate targeted interventions for children at risk using routine retinal fundus images.

Artificial intelligence (AI) use in diabetes care is increasingly being explored to personalise care for people with diabetes and adapt treatments for complex presentations. However, the rapid advancement of AI also introduces challenges such as potential biases, ethical considerations, and implementation challenges in ensuring that its deployment is equitable. Ensuring inclusive and ethical developments of AI technology can empower both health-care providers and people with diabetes in managing the condition.

The flavonoid compound chinonin is one of the main active components of with multiple activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, protection of mitochondrial function and regulation of immunity. In this paper, we reviewed recent research progress on the protective effect of chinonin on brain injury in neurological diseases. "Chinonin" OR "Mangiferin" AND "Nervous system diseases" OR "Neuroprotection" was used as the terms for search in PumMed.

Deep learning approaches for multi-label Chest X-ray (CXR) images classification usually require large-scale datasets. However, acquiring such datasets with full annotations is costly, time-consuming, and prone to noisy labels. Therefore, we introduce a weakly supervised learning problem called Single Positive Multi-label Learning (SPML) into CXR images classification (abbreviated as SPML-CXR), in which only one positive label is annotated per image.

Although endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has a key role in diagnostic algorithms for pancreatic diseases, B-mode imaging of the pancreas can be affected by confounders such as chronic pancreatitis, which can make both pancreatic lesion segmentation and classification laborious and highly specialized. To address these challenges, this work proposes a semi-supervised multi-task network (SSM-Net) to leverage unlabeled and labeled EUS images for joint pancreatic lesion classification and segmentation.
