Biomarkers of Frailty in Patients with Advanced Chronic Liver Disease Undergoing a Multifactorial Intervention Consisting of Home Exercise, Branched-Chain Amino Acids, and Probiotics.

Frailty in cirrhosis or advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) is a relevant prognostic factor. In the present study, we aimed to analyze potential biomarkers associated with frailty and its improvement in patients with ACLD. We analyzed the serum of outpatients with ACLD who participated in a previous study (Román, Hepatol Commun 2024) in which frailty was assessed using the liver frailty index (LFI), and patients who were frail or prefrail were randomized to a multifactorial intervention (home exercise, branched-chain amino acids, and probiotics) or control for 12 months.

Evolving epidemiology, clinical features, and genotyping of dengue outbreaks in Bangladesh, 2000-2024: a systematic review.

Background: The 2023 dengue outbreak has proven that dengue is not only an endemic disease but also an emerging health threat in Bangladesh. Integrated studies on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, seasonality, and genotype of dengue are limited. This study was conducted to determine recent trends in the molecular epidemiology, clinical features, and seasonality of dengue outbreaks.

Effective Acoustic Model-Based Beamforming Training for Static and Dynamic Hri Applications.

Human-robot collaboration will play an important role in the fourth industrial revolution in applications related to hostile environments, mining, industry, forestry, education, natural disaster and defense. Effective collaboration requires robots to understand human intentions and tasks, which involves advanced user profiling. Voice-based communication, rich in complex information, is key to this.
