Cohort-based nomogram for forensic prediction of SCD: a single-center pilot study.

Forensic diagnosis of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an extremely important part of routine forensic practice. The present study aimed to develop and validate nomograms for predicting the probability of SCD with special regards to ischemic heart disease-induced SCD (IHD-induced SCD) based on multiple autopsy variables. A total of 3322 cases, were enrolled and randomly assigned into a training cohort (n = 2325) and a validation cohort (n = 997), respectively.

Targeting Shp2 as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases.

The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) has increased recently. However, most of the current governance strategies are palliative and lack effective therapeutic drugs. Therefore, elucidating the pathological mechanism of NDs is the key to the development of targeted drugs.
