The clinical application value of multi-site mNGS detection of patients with sepsis in intensive care units.

Background: Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units, and rapid and accurate pathogen detection is crucial for effective treatment. This study evaluated the clinical application of multi-site metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for the diagnosis of sepsis, comparing its performance against conventional methods.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 69 patients with sepsis consecutively admitted to the Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Meizhou People's Hospital.

*2/*2 Genotype is a Risk Factor for Multi-Site Arteriosclerosis: A Hospital-Based Cohort Study.

Background: Vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis usually affect multiple organs. Genetic factors have a certain proportion in the risk factors of atherosclerosis. The purpose was to investigate the relationship of cytochrome P450 2C19 () polymorphisms with multi-site atherosclerosis.

rs671 Polymorphism Likely a Risk Factor for Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Hospital-Based Study.

Background: Hypertension is the main risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) may inhibit the occurrence of hypertension by anti-oxidative stress and vascular dilation. The purpose was to investigate the relationship of polymorphisms with hemorrhagic stroke in Hakka Chinese.
