Objective: Diabetes is a well-known risk factor for frailty that has been associated with adverse prognosis. However, the association of frailty with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients with prediabetes has not been thoroughly explored.

Methods: Participants with prediabetes were derived from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and followed up for all-cause and CVD mortality until December 31, 2019.

Multimodal sleep staging network based on obstructive sleep apnea.

Front Comput Neurosci

December 2024

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Automatic sleep staging is important for diagnosing sleep disorders, but existing methods mainly focus on healthy populations, neglecting conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
  • The study introduces a new deep learning model called MSDC-SSNet, which utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals to improve classification through advanced techniques like Transformer encoders and Multi-Scale Feature Extraction Modules.
  • The model demonstrated an 80.4% accuracy on OSA data and outperformed other leading methods, enhancing its practicality for diverse sleep populations.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic fluid accumulation is a key factor in heart failure, causing symptoms like difficulty breathing and edema, with the edema index (EI) emerging as a way to assess congestion status.
  • In a study of 401 CHF patients, those with high EI showed a significant increase in long-term mortality rates compared to those with low EI.
  • The findings suggest that a higher EI can independently predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, indicating its potential use in guiding treatment for CHF patients.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide with a poor prognosis due to the lack of early detection and effective treatments. As a biomarker, collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) is often dysregulated in some cancer types. However, the expression profile of COL1A1 and functional mechanism in GC is still unclear.

A set of semantic similarity calculation methods combining full-text text and domain knowledge topics is proposed for the current study of entity association relations such as disease-gene in medical texts combined with topics in knowledge discovery, which is insufficient to reveal the deep semantic association relations of medical domain knowledge at topic level. Taking urinary infections in elderly inpatients as the research subject, word embedding representation of word vectors and topic vectors is performed by the TWE model, and similarity calculation is performed by combining text and domain knowledge topics based on Siamese Network framework. The urinary microbiological culture results of both groups were dominated by , accounting for 34.

Background: A better understanding of the mechanism(s) underlying cardioembolic stroke can promote recovery and reduce the risk of recurrent embolisms.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression datasets from cardioembolic patients and healthy controls were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE58294). The Limma software package was utilized to identify differentially-expressed genes (DEGs).

We explored the dynamic features of brain edema after traumatic brain injury (TBI) using healthy adult male Wistar rats. After inducing moderate brain injuries in the rats, we divided them randomly among seven groups on the basis of the time elapsed between TBI and examination: 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h. All rats were scanned using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to observe tissue changes in the contusion penumbra (CP) after TBI.
