Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease mediated by immune, genetic, and environmental factors. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the excessive consumption of certain pro-inflammatory foods, including alcohol, dairy products, high-sugar foods, and gluten, can exacerbate psoriasis. Thus, modifying one's dietary habits can alleviate psoriasis symptoms.

Early T2DM detection in psoriasis patients is essential for timely medical intervention and the prevention of further complications.
Objective: To develop a diagnostic model and introduce a web-based calculator for assessing the risk of T2DM in patients with psoriasis.
The passivation strategy is considered to be an essential approach for enhancing the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, based on density functional theory calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the ion migration and moisture stability for MAPbI passivated with a Lewis base represented by natural molecules: cinnamaldehyde (CA) and anethole (AT). The results reveal that hydrogen bonding in different forms plays a significant role in both ion migration and moisture stability for surface passivation.

Few cases of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor autoimmune encephalitis (AE) secondary to neurosyphilis have been reported. We report a neurosyphilis patient with anti-γ-aminobutyric acid-B receptor (GABAR) AE.

Molecular biomarkers for gefitinib metabolism-related lncRNAs have not yet been elucidated. Here, we downloaded relevant genes and matched them to relevant lncRNAs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFerroptosis, as a newly discovered non-apoptotic cell death mode, is beginning to be explored in different cancer. The particularity of ferroptosis lies in the accumulation of iron dependence and lipid peroxides, and it is different from the classical cell death modes such as apoptosis and necrosis in terms of action mode, biochemical characteristics, and genetics. The mechanism of ferroptosis can be divided into many different pathways, so it is particularly important to identify the key sites of ferroptosis in the disease.

Therefore, the objective of this research was to develop a machine learning system that has the advantages of high computational speed and good accuracy for recognizing spray and non-spray areas for UAV-based sprayers. A machine learning system was developed by using the mutual subspace method (MSM) for images collected from a UAV.
