Objective: This study aimed to synthesize and encapsulate findings from recent research (May 1, 2018 to August 1, 2023) on neurofeedback interventions for children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across major databases and platforms, including randomized controlled trials s focusing on children aged 5-11 years with ADHD. The inclusion was broad, not restricted by ADHD subtype, gender, IQ, socioeconomic status, or coexisting conditions.

Subtyping colorectal cancer based on septic shock-associated genes: prognosis and immune characteristics.

Background: Sepsis and colorectal cancer (CRC) are leading causes of death. Given their mutual dependence for susceptibility, we used bioinformatics to explore potential connections between septic shock (SS) and CRC.

Methods: We identified 452 co-expressed genes between SS-related differential expression genes (SS-DEGs) and CRC patient-expressed genes (TCGA-CRC genes).

Machine learning-based predictive model for post-stroke dementia.

Background: Post-stroke dementia (PSD), a common complication, diminishes rehabilitation efficacy and affects disease prognosis in stroke patients. Many factors may be related to PSD, including demographic, comorbidities, and examination characteristics. However, most existing methods are qualitative evaluations of independent factors, which ignore the interaction amongst various factors.

A neurosurgical nursing training system based on 3D printing models: practice and exploration of precision medicine.

Background: In recent years, the concept of precision medicine has gradually permeated the field of nursing, presenting new challenges for neurosurgical nursing staff. Traditional teaching methods often struggle to adequately convey complex anatomical knowledge and nursing skills, thereby affecting the learning outcomes and clinical decision-making abilities of nurses. As an innovative educational tool, three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has demonstrated significant potential in medical education in recent years.

Assessing the impact of temperature on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospitalizations in residents of Panzhihua City: a multi-districts study using a distributed lag non-linear model.

Background: Temperature fluctuations can impact the occurrence and progression of respiratory system diseases. However, the current understanding of the impact of temperature on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) remains limited. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the relationship between daily mean temperature (DMT) and the risk of AECOPD hospitalizations within Panzhihua City.

Effect of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura Medications on Depression Risk: An Analysis of NHANES Data.

Background: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in adults typically develops slowly and insidiously. The ITP medications might be linked to psychological disorders, but the connection is not well-understood.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between ITP medication use and the risk of depression among participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018.

Causal relationship between multiple sclerosis and primary Sjögren's syndrome: a two-sample mendelian randomization study.

This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to provide insights into their common mechanisms and implications for therapeutic strategies. We utilized data from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for primary SS (1,290 cases and 213,145 controls) and MS (4,888 cases and 10,395 controls), restricted to European ancestry. Instrumental variables (IVs) were selected based on genetic variants associated with primary SS.

Impact of early high protein intake in critically ill patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Conflicting findings regarding the impact of High protein intake during the early phase in critically ill patients have been reported. Therefore, we aimed to assess the influence of higher early protein intake on the prognosis of critically ill patients.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial involved 173 critically ill patients who stayed in the Intensive Care Unit/Emergency ICU (ICU/EICU) for at least 7 days.

The wall-associated kinase GWN1 controls grain weight and grain number in rice.

Grain size is a crucial agronomic trait that determines grain weight and final yield. Although several genes have been reported to regulate grain size in rice (Oryza sativa), the function of Wall-Associated Kinase family genes affecting grain size is still largely unknown. In this study, we identified GRAIN WEIGHT AND NUMBER 1 (GWN1) using map-based cloning.

Body fluids biomarkers associated with prognosis of acute ischemic stroke: progress and prospects.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the most common strokes posing a grave threat to human life and health. Predicting the prognosis of AIS allows for an understanding of disease progress, and a better quality of life by making individualized treatment scheme. In this paper, we conducted a systematic search on PubMed, focusing on the relevant literature in the last 5 years.

Natural Variation in Increases Drought Tolerance in Rice by Inducing ROS Scavenging.

Improving the performance of rice () under drought stress has the potential to significantly affect rice productivity. Here, we report that the ERF family transcription factor OsLG3 positively regulates drought tolerance in rice. In our previous work, we found that has a positive effect on rice grain length without affecting grain quality.

Alternative splicing of OsLG3b controls grain length and yield in japonica rice.

Grain size, one of the important components determining grain yield in rice, is controlled by the multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Intensive artificial selection for grain size during domestication is evidenced in modern cultivars compared to their wild relatives. Here, we report the molecular cloning and characterization of OsLG3b, a QTL for grain length in tropical japonica rice that encodes MADS-box transcription factor 1 (OsMADS1).

OsLG3 contributing to rice grain length and yield was mined by Ho-LAMap.

Background: Most agronomic traits in rice are complex and polygenic. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain length is an important objective of rice genetic research and breeding programs.

Results: Herein, we identified 99 QTL for grain length by GWAS based on approximately 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms from 504 cultivated rice accessions (Oryza sativa L.
