Background: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) and the width of the arches, and to compare them with control children without respiratory problems.

Methods: Children from 2 to 12 years old were divided into three groups: children with OSA and NE (n = 51), children with OSA without NE (n = 79), and the control group (n = 168). NE was defined as at least one bedwetting incident per month.

Biological invasions pose a rapidly expanding threat to the persistence, functioning and service provisioning of ecosystems globally, and to socio-economic interests. The stages of successful invasions are driven by the same mechanism that underlies adaptive changes across species in general-via natural selection on intraspecific variation in traits that influence survival and reproductive performance (i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Automatic detection of activities in indoor spaces, particularly bathrooms, is crucial for health surveillance as user behavior can indicate certain health issues.
  • This study aims to classify bathroom activities automatically using a new method that leverages environmental data and machine learning, while ensuring user privacy.
  • The innovative approach utilizes a pre-trained convolutional network to analyze environmental parameters, achieving about 80% accuracy in detecting key activities, making monitoring efficient and cost-effective.

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) visible perivascular spaces (PVS) have been associated with age, decline in cognitive abilities, interrupted sleep, and markers of small vessel disease. But the limits of validity of their quantification have not been established.

New Method: We use a purpose-built digital reference object to construct an in-silico phantom for addressing this need, and validate it using a physical phantom.

Background & Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and the expression of some microRNAs could be useful as biomarkers for the diagnosis of NAFLD. The aim of this study was to identify patterns of differential expression of microRNAs in PLWH and assess their diagnostic value for NALFD.

Methods: A discovery case-control study with PLWH was carried out.
