Latent characteristics and influencing factors of stigma in rheumatoid arthritis: A latent class analysis.

To explore the latent classes of stigma in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we analyzed the characteristics of the different categories. Adopting a convenient sampling method, socio-demographic and disease-related information from the outpatient clinics and wards of 3 tertiary care hospitals in China was collected. The Chinese version of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness scale-Rheumatoid Arthritis was used in this survey.

Chromosome-level genome assembly and resequencing of camphor tree () provides insight into phylogeny and diversification of terpenoid and triglyceride biosynthesis of .

species attract attentions owing to their scents, medicinal properties, and ambiguous relationship in the phylogenetic tree. Here, we report a high-quality genome assembly of , based on which two whole-genome duplication (WGD) events were detected in the genome: one was shared with Magnoliales, and the other was unique to Lauraceae. Phylogenetic analyses illustrated that Lauraceae species formed a compact sister clade to the eudicots.

Scalable and accessible personalized photodynamic therapy optimization with FullMonte and PDT-SPACE.

Significance: Open-source software packages have been extensively used in the past three decades in medical imaging and diagnostics, aiming to study the feasibility of the application ex vivo. Unfortunately, most of the existing open-source tools require some software engineering background to install the prerequisite libraries, choose a suitable computational platform, and combine several software tools to address different applications.

Aim: To facilitate the use of open-source software in medical applications, enabling computational studies of treatment outcomes prior to the complex in-vivo setting.

A Novel Case of 15q24 Microdeletion Syndrome Detected by MLPA in a Chinese Family.

Background: Chromosome 15q24 microdeletion syndrome is a rare disease. To date, only 40 cases have been reported. Here, we also confirmed a 15q24 microdeletion syndrome in a chorionic villus of miscarriage.
