This study demonstrates the use of computational methods to simulate the molecular dynamics involved in hemoglobin concentration sensing, utilizing Material Studio and the TCAD Silvaco device simulator. A non-invasive and flexible Graphene/MoS2 heterostructure has been proposed for sensing hemoglobin concentration in blood samples. The findings reveal a notable shift in the wavelength-dependent refractive index and extinction coefficient, as well as significant changes in the absorption coefficient and reflectivity of the Graphene/MoS2 heterostructure in response to different hemoglobin concentrations, specifically within an approximate range of 0.3 μm to 1 μm. Moreover, the spectral response of the heterostructure demonstrates that at a particular wavelength of approximately 600 nm, a maximum response is obtained. This wavelength can be considered optimal for detecting various levels of hemoglobin using this heterostructure. The anticipated outcome is a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles, ultimately resulting in the development of an exceptionally sensitive platform for detecting hemoglobin concentration.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurological disease with complex genetic etiology, yet most known loci were only identified from the late-onset type of European ancestry.
Method: We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) of AD totaling 6,878 Chinese and 487,511 European individuals.
Result: We demonstrated a shared genetic architecture between early- and late-onset AD.

Purpose: Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome in which structural or functional abnormalities of the heart result in impaired ventricular filling or ejection capacity. In order to improve the adaptability of models to different patient populations and data situations. This study aims to develop predictive models for HF risk using six machine learning algorithms, providing valuable insights into the early assessment and recognition of HF by clinical features.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of 7-tumor associated autoantibodies (7-TAAB) and to evaluate the relationship between 7-TAAB and clinical features in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which can be used to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment and achieve its clinical value.
Methods: (1) Blood specimens were collected from patients with ESCC who had not previously received antitumor therapy (ESCC group) and those who had normal medical check-ups in the hospital during the same period (control group). The concentrations of 7-TAAB (P53, PGP9.

Background: The safe timing window for surgery during the acute phase of inflammation due to traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been studied extensively. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between the timing of surgery and changes in perioperative serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and factors associated to optimize TBI management in low-middle-income countries.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted among TBI Patients with depressed skull fractures with a GCS > 8 operated at different timing from injury and followed up peri-operatively.
