We have studied prevalence of risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) recorded for statistical purposes in subjects of able bodied age during 10 year period of observation in a policlinic as well as prevalence of early and/or oligosymptomatic CVD manifestations in 11762 subjects of working age with RF of CVD development according to results of complex noninvasive examination of cardiovascular system in ambulatory conditions during the period from 2000 to 2009 year. Numbers of men and women were 45.3 and 54.7%, respectively. The program of examination included analysis of ECG, echocardiography (EchoCG), ultrasound examination of brachiocephalic vessels, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring, exercise test on treadmill. In 2006 and 2007 complex examination was supplemented with 24-hour monitoring of arterial pressure, stress EchoCG, noninvasive arteriography. Complex ambulatory examination of subjects of working age with FR of CVD development with the use of noninvasive methods of functional diagnostics allowed to diagnose in 56% of studied persons various early and/or oligosymptomatic CVD manifestations which often appeared in combination, including ischemic heart disease (in 15%), hypertensive disease- (in 42%), cerebral atherosclerosis - (in 23.5%).

With the advent of commercial DNA databases, investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) has emerged as a powerful forensic tool, rivalling the impact of STR analyses, introduced four decades ago. IGG has been frequently applied in the US and tested in other countries, but never in Norway. Here, we apply IGG to three cold criminal cases and successfully identify the donor of the DNA in two of these cases.

The pituitary gland (PG) plays a central role in the production and secretion of pubertal hormones, with documented links to the increase in mental health symptoms during adolescence. Although literature has largely focused on examining whole PG volume, recent findings have demonstrated associations among pubertal hormone levels, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), PG subregions, and mental health symptoms during adolescence. Despite the anterior PG's role in DHEA production, studies have not yet examined potential links with transdiagnostic symptomology (i.

It is well established that faces evoke a distinct neural response in the adult and infant brain. Past research has focused on how the infant face-sensitive ERP components (N290, P400, Nc) reflect different aspects of face processing, however there is still a lack of understanding of how these components reflect face familiarity and how they change over time. Further, there are only a few studies on whether these neural responses correlate with other aspects of development, such as infant temperament.

Background: Manual extraction of real-world clinical data for research can be time-consuming and prone to error. We assessed the feasibility of using natural language processing (NLP), an AI technique, to automate data extraction for patients with advanced lung cancer (aLC). We assessed the external validity of our NLP-extracted data by comparing our findings to those reported in the literature.

Objective: This study investigated the long-term health risks associated with occupational noise exposure. By using 9 years of health examination data from a major manufacturing company in Taiwan, this study compared the health indices of employees in noise-intensive and non-noise-intensive work environments.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 6278 health examination reports spanning 9 years was conducted to compare 20 health indices among 166 employees evenly distributed between noise-intensive and non-noise-intensive workgroups.
