Identification of potential biomarkers for osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease through bioinformatics and machine learning algorithm
Objective The purpose of this study is to identify hub genes associated with both osteoporosis (OP) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) through bioinformatics analysis, and to explore...
Development and preliminary validation of a multimodal instrument for spasticity quantification using a composite index: A pilot study
Spasticity is a frequent neuromuscular impairment associated with cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord injury, commonly assessed using subjective clinical scales. This exploratory pilot study aimed...
The recognition method of external force damage sources vibration signals based on LSTM-CNN-CatBoost-GSSSA
Underground All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) optical cables in urban areas are frequently compromised by external disturbances such as construction activities and human excavation, posing a serio...
Analysis of the dynamic relationship between urban economic growth and energy consumption and environmental quality response from the perspective of an improved VAR model
To acquire a thorough comprehension of the changing interplay between urban economic expansion and energy usage, the research conducts a dynamic correlation analysis between energy and the economy, in...
The longitudinal relation between adolescents’ learning outcomes and internalizing symptoms: The role of ADHD symptoms
Objective The literature on bivariate relations between learning outcomes and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD is extensive. Much less research has been done into the triv...
IoT-based demand-side energy management: Enhancing peak hour efficiency through automated control of appliances
Industrial solar microgrids experience pronounced peak demand due to aggregated production processes, auxiliary systems, and shift-based operation. Conventional demand response approaches rely on volu...
Community perceptions of natural supports and their approaches: A Canadian grounded theory study with Connections First
Community-based informal reciprocal interactions (natural supports) enhance individual and community well-being. Like social connections, natural supports aim to establish supportive and healthy envir...
Sero-epidemiology of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in mixed crop-livestock farming households in Burkina Faso: a one health study
Background Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe, widespread, tick-borne viral zoonotic infection. It is caused by an orthonairovirus that is transmitted by ticks. Se...
The Asanté™ HIV-1 Rapid Recency® Assay is reliable, feasible, and acceptable for use at the point-of-care in Lusaka, Zambia
Background Zambia established a recent infection testing algorithm (RITA) incorporating a novel point-of-care (POC) rapid test—the Asanté™ HIV-1 Rapid Recency® Assay (RTRI)—plus a...
Understanding why people value working from home or hybrid workplace flexibility a study of preferences during the COVID-19 pandemic
Working-From-Home (WFH) practices expanded rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to be a point of discussion today with debates increasingly focused on productivity rather than the underly...
Research on path planning algorithms for Crawler transport robots in complex tunnels
To meet the demand for efficient and safe underground material transportation in the intelligent construction of coal mines, addressing the unstructured environmental characteristics of mine roadways,...
Retraction: Imbalance of Circulating Monocyte Subsets and PD-1 Dysregulation in Q Fever Endocarditis: The Role of IL-10 in PD-1 Modulation
Development of predictive models for the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer using multiple transcriptomic analyses
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer (BC) and constitutes approximately 15–20% of all BC cases. This subtype has the most aggressive behavior and the worst prognosis. Num...
Trp53 loss drives the neoplastic transformation of Pik3caH1047R-induced vascular malformation in a mouse model
Vascular malformations are anomalies of blood or lymphatic vessels that are frequently associated with activating PIK3CA mutations. Although these lesions are g...
Hydrodynamic instabilities in membrane systems with current loading, Fourier analysis
Time-current characteristics for membrane systems with bacterial cellulose membranes located in horizontal plane and with NaCl solutions, indicate a stable formation of concentration boundary layers n...
