De-glutathionylases: The resilient underdogs to keep neurodegeneration at bay.

Proteins become S-glutathionylated as a result of the derivatization of their cysteine thiols with the thiolate anion derivative of glutathione; this process is frequently linked to diseases and protein misbehavior. Along with the other well-known oxidative modifications like S-nitrosylation, S-glutathionylation has quickly emerged as a major contributor to a number of diseases, with a focus on neurodegeneration. The immense clinical significance of S-glutathionylation in cell signaling and the genesis of diseases are progressively coming to light with advanced research, which is also creating new opportunities for prompt diagnostics that utilize this phenomenon.

A Hyperparameter-Free, Fast and Efficient Framework to Detect Clusters From Limited Samples Based on Ultra High-Dimensional Features.

Clustering is a challenging problem in machine learning in which one attempts to group objects into groups based on features measured on each object. In this article, we examine the case where ≪ and is not known. Clustering in such high dimensional, small sample size settings has numerous applications in biology, medicine, the social sciences, clinical trials, and other scientific and experimental fields.

Choosing the most appropriate existing type 2 diabetes risk assessment tool for use in the Philippines: a case-control study with an urban Filipino population.

Background: As the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) increases in low- to middle-income countries, the burden on individuals and health care systems also increases. The use of diabetes risk assessment tools could identify those at risk, leading to prevention or early detection of diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness of 6 existing T2DM risk screening tools in detecting dysglycemia in Zamboanga City, Philippines.

Raised Venous Lactate and Markers of Intestinal Translocation Are Associated With Mortality Among In-Patients With HIV-Associated TB in Rural South Africa.

Introduction: Case fatality among in-patients with HIV-associated tuberculosis (HIV-TB) in Africa is high. We investigated the factors associated with mortality in a rural South African hospital.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study of HIV-TB in-patients, with death by 8 weeks the endpoint.
