Objective: Information regarding the relationship between epilepsy and vitamin K1 remains unclear. We aimed to assess the association between dietary vitamin K1 intake and epilepsy.

Methods: Data was obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 2013 to 2018.

The growing microbial resistance to traditional medicines necessitates in-depth analysis of medicine-microbe interactions (MMIs) to develop new therapeutic strategies. Widely used artificial intelligence models are limited by sparse observational data and prevalent noise, leading to over-reliance on specific data for feature extraction and reduced generalization ability. To address these limitations, we integrate Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs), independent subspaces, and collaborative decoding techniques into the masked graph autoencoder (Mask GAE) framework, creating an innovative MMI prediction model with enhanced accuracy, generalization, and interpretability.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent issue among individuals with hypertension, and this study examined its prevalence along with sex and race disparities in the U.S. from 2001 to 2016.
  • The analysis involved over 16,000 participants and assessed changes in albuminuria and CKD stages using statistical methods, revealing stable rates of albuminuria and minimal changes in CKD stages over the years.
  • Although the study found some disparities, such as higher CKD prevalence in women and certain racial groups, these differences were not statistically significant, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and strategies to improve kidney health in hypertensive patients.

Background: Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases constitute a major global public health burden. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exposure has become progressively severe, endangering human health and becoming one of the main concerns in environmental pollution. The associations of VOCs exposure with nonfatal cardio-cerebrovascular events have not been identified in observational study with a large sample size, so we aim to examine the association in US adult population.

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that has been shown to be associated with responses to non-biological stressors. However, there is currently no research on DNA methylation in response to environmental signals in shrimp. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of DNA methylation profiles and differentially expressed genes between two strains of with significantly different cold tolerance through whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) and transcriptome sequencing.

In the production process of biomass energy with crop straw as the raw material, the indoor dust environment created by smashed plant fiber can affect the health of workers and lead to the risk of fire and explosions. The physical properties of biomass vary with the ambient air conditions, resulting in different deposition processes for airborne biomass particles. In this study, the deposition of biomass particles in different environments in an experimental chamber was examined by independently controlling the internal temperature and relative humidity.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease, which can be alleviated in drug treatment, but with evident side effects. At the same time, increasing evidence shows that exercise can significantly improve the symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease, with an effect that cannot be achieved by drug treatment. The related research on exercise on Parkinson's disease increases rapidly with the passage of time.
