Objective: To construct a combined model based on the CT and clinical characteristics of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with infection of Talaromyces marneffei (TM) and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the combined model.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 225 patients with AIDS patients with pulmonary infection admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from February 2012 to October 2022. Based on the final microbiological test results, they were divided into a group infected with TM and a group not infected with TM. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the lung CT imaging and clinical characteristics of these 225 patients. A nomogram was used to construct a combined model, and a calibration plot was drawn to test the diagnostic efficacy of the combined model.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fever, rash, elevated PLT, elevated Hb, CD4T lymphocyte count < 50/ul, and lung CT histology features including diffuse punctate and nodular shadows, mass-like consolidation, consolidation shadows, single or multiple lung abscesses or cyst shadows, and pleural effusion were independent risk factors for the diagnosis of AIDS with TM infection (P < 0.05). The construction of a joint model using nomogram and calibration plot showed that the constructed joint model had a high degree of fit.
Conclusion: The combined model constructed in this study has certain clinical value for evaluating whether AIDS co-infection is caused by TM.
Clinical Trial: Not applicable.

Background: Acceptance and commitment therapy provides a psychobehavioral framework feasible for digital and hybrid weight loss interventions. In face-to-face studies, group-based interventions yield more favorable outcomes than individual interventions, but the effect of the intervention form has not been studied in combination with eHealth.
Objective: This study investigated whether a minimal, 3-session group or individual enhancement could provide additional benefits compared to an eHealth-only intervention when assessing weight, body composition, and laboratory metrics in a sample of occupational health patients with obesity.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) leads to rapid physiological and functional decline before causing untimely death. Current best-practice approaches to interdisciplinary care are unable to provide adequate monitoring of patients' health. Passive in-home sensor systems enable 24×7 health monitoring.

Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is an emblematic tree species within the Mediterranean basin, with high ecological and economic relevance due to the production of edible nuts. Breeding programmes to improve pine nut production started decades ago in Southern Europe but have been hindered by the near absence of polymorphisms in the species genome and the lack of suitable genomic tools.

Covalent modification is an effective strategy for reducing allergenicity to individual allergens, but there are few studies on this strategy modifying specific amino acids within epitopes under the influence of food matrix. This study used fucoidan to covalently modify shrimp () and combined mass spectrometry and bioinformatics techniques to explore epitope modification. The results showed that lower concentrations (<2.

Motivation: Computational models are crucial for addressing critical questions about systems evolution and deciphering system connections. The pivotal feature of making this concept recognisable from the biological and clinical community is the possibility of quickly inspecting the whole system, bearing in mind the different granularity levels of its components. This holistic view of system behaviour expands the evolution study by identifying the heterogeneous behaviours applicable, for example, to the cancer evolution study.
