rent guidelines showed similar effectiveness, while more benefits were found for screening using China-PAR models in adults aged 40-74 years than those aged 50-74 years. The results were consistent in the sensitivity analyses.

Screening for cardiovascular diseases in Chinese adults aged above 40 years seems effective in coastal developed…[Read more]

Functional materials composed of spontaneously self-assembled electron donor and acceptor entities capable of generating long-lived charge-separated states upon photoillumination are in great demand as they are key in building the next generation of light energy harvesting devices. However, creating such well-defined architectures is challenging…[Read more]

Limited gene-sleep interaction studies suggest that achieving favorable sleep, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may attenuate genetic predisposition to obesity, but whether these improvements produce clinically meaningful reductions in obesity risk remains unclear. Investigations of the genetic link between sleep and obesity for sleep disorders…[Read more]

At the 14-month follow-up, she remained asymptomatic and had no signs of recurrence. The scientific rationale for SNB in extraocular SC has not yet been established, although SNB can be considered for periocular SC. However, considering the insufficient data on the management of vulvar SC and the aggressive nature of both periocular and…[Read more]

for cg06834912, and 0.7611 (sensitivity 63.3%, specificity 83.3%) for cg00103771. The diagnostic accuracy of the combination of these 3 indicators presented to be higher than any single one of them, with an AUC of 0.8378 (sensitivity 73.3%, specificity 93.3%).

The combination of 3 CpG methylation signatures in blood was identified with a…[Read more]

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis remains a pressing public health problem worldwide. Quinolones, particularly fluoroquinolones, are widely used to treat various infections, including non-typhoidal salmonellosis, which can be a serious illness. The emergence of fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella has resulted in treatment failure and high mortality…[Read more]

Our results show a superior (13-27%) performance improvement compared to the state-of-the-art methods.Medical oxygen concentrators (MOCs) are used for supplying medical grade oxygen to prevent hypoxemia-related complications related to COVID-19, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. MOCs often use a…[Read more]

Previous literature has demonstrated an association between high serum levels of type II secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) concentration and an increased risk of coronary artery disease. However, such association has not been established in terms of ischaemic stroke risk. The aim was to evaluate the association between both sPLA2 concentration…[Read more]
