Higher concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and lower concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are associated with lower insulin resistance and incident diabetes in non-Hispanic White and Hispanic Americans. Results are mixed in other populations, with no observational studies in a large multiethnic cohort. The association of se...

The ROX index (Respiratory rate-OXygenation) has been described as a prediction tool to identify the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure treated with high-flow nasal cannula in order to avoid delay of a necessary intubation. However, its use in predicting the...

Bacterial infections (BIs) need to be differentiated from non-BIs (NBIs) to enable prompt administration of antibiotics. Therefore, inflammatory biomarkers are needed as they can accurately identify BIs. This study evaluated the usefulness of procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of BI in immunocompetent children. We retrospectively reviewed the med...

Many similarity measure algorithms of nodes in weighted graph data have been proposed by employing the degree of nodes in recent years. Despite these algorithms obtaining great results, there may be still some limitations. For instance, the strength of nodes is ignored. Aiming at this issue, the relative entropy of the distance distribution based s...

The choice of diagnostic tests in front of a given clinical case is a major part of medical reasoning. Failure to prescribe the right test can lead to serious diagnostic errors. Furthermore, unnecessary medical tests are a waste of money and could possibly generate injuries to patients, especially in family medicine. In an effort to improve the tra...

Improvements in growth-related traits reduce fish time and production costs to reach market size. Feed deprivation and refeeding cycles have been introduced to maximize aquaculture profits through compensatory growth. However, the molecular compensatory growth signature is still uncertain in Nile tilapia. In this study, fish were subjected to two w...

We sought to identify factors for delayed drip-and-ship (DS) management in stroke patients transferred from primary hospitals to our comprehensive stroke center (CSC) for endovascular therapy (EVT). We conducted a retrospective study of all patients transferred to our CSC for EVT between 2016 and 2020. We analyzed emergency and hospital records to ...
