Association of visceral adiposity index (VAI) with prognosis in patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Background: Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is an effective predictor of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and serves as a marker of visceral adiposity. The association between the VAI index and poor prognosis in patients with MetS and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between VAI and endpoint events in patients with metabolic syndrome and HFrEF.

EEG Channel Localization and Selection via Training with Noise Injection for BCI Applications.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for monitoring brain activity in neuroscience and clinical applications. However, the multitude of channels recorded by scalp electrodes poses challenges, including impractical usage and high model complexity. This paper addresses the challenges of high dimensionality in EEG data and introduces an innovative EEG channel selection algorithm, LSvT-NI, based on model training and noise injection, achieving substantial reductions in channels, model size, and complexity while maintaining high classification accuracy.

Geriatric nutrition risk index in the prediction of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in elderly hypertensive population: NHANES 1999-2016.

Background: Hypertension is a major risk factor for the global burden of disease, and nutrition is associated with an increased risk of mortality from multiple diseases. Few studies have explored the association of nutritional risk with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in hypertension, and our study aims to fill this knowledge gap.

Method: We included data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2016 on a total of 10,037 elderly patients with hypertension.

Promotes Neuronal Regeneration after Spinal Cord Injury of Zebrafish Embryos.

After spinal cord injury (SCI) in mammals, neuronal regeneration is limited; in contrast, such regeneration occurs quickly in zebrafish. Member A of the acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 () family is involved in neuronal development, but its function is controversial, and its involvement in zebrafish SCI remains unknown. To determine the role of zebrafish in the neuronal regeneration of SCI embryos, we microinjected mRNA into embryos from zebrafish transgenic line prior to SCI.
