Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients can be identified prospectively by troponin-I (TnI) result monitoring and retrospectively by ICD-9 diagnosis coding. Prospective identification is needed for interventions, while retrospective identification is required for regulatory reporting. Prospective approaches can identify patients with a reasonable degree of accuracy, but they cannot always predict ICD-9 coding for that condition. Our approach focuses on prospective identification of patients with CHD to improve their care. Meeting regulatory standards is a secondary goal.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of Sjögren's syndrome-associated autoimmune liver disease (SS-ALD) patients and identify potential risk and prognostic factors.

Methods: SS patients with or without ALD, who visited Tongji Hospital between the years 2011 and 2021 and met the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome, were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data of the enrolled patients, including autoimmune antibodies, were collected and analyzed with principal component analysis, correlation analysis, LASSO regression, and Cox regression.

Background: Despite extensive analysis, the dynamic changes in prostate epithelial cell states during tissue homeostasis as well as tumor initiation and progression have been poorly characterized. However, recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology have greatly facilitated studies of cell states and plasticity in tissue maintenance and cancer, including in the prostate.

Methods: We have performed meta-analyses of new and previously published scRNA-seq datasets for mouse and human prostate tissues to identify and compare cell populations across datasets in a uniform manner.

Background: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) represents a series of lung disorders and is posing a global health burden. Systemic inflammation and phenotypic ageing have been respectively reported to associate with certain CRD. However, little is known about the co-exposures and mutual associations of inflammation and ageing with CRD.

Are neurasthenia and depression the same disease entity? An electroencephalography study.

BMC Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Shenzhen People's Hospital (The Second Clinical Medical College, Jinan University; The First Affiliated Hospital, Southern University of Science and Technology), Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.

Background: The neurasthenia-depression controversy has lasted for several decades. It is challenging to solve the argument by symptoms alone for syndrome-based disease classification. Our aim was to identify objective electroencephalography (EEG) measures that can differentiate neurasthenia from major depressive disorder (MDD).
