Across all algorithms, models with baseline 2-hour glucose performed the best (max MCC=0.36). Sophisticated machine learning algorithms performed similarly to logistic regression in this study.

NMR lipoproteins and related non-lipid biomarkers were associated but did not augment discrimination of diabetes risk beyond traditional diabetes…[Read more]

Limited treatment strategies are available for squamous-cell lung cancer (SQLC) patients. Few studies have addressed whether immune-related genes (IRGs) or the tumor immune microenvironment can predict the prognosis for SQLC patients. Our study aimed to construct a signature predict prognosis for SQLC patients based on IRGs.

We constructed…[Read more]

To evaluate the short-term ophthalmic side effects of bilateral same-day intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections.

We retrospectively analyzed patients who received intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept injections in both eyes on the same day between January 2014 and June 2019. The patients…[Read more]

Stem cells are tightly controlled in vivo Both the balance between self-renewal and differentiation and the rate of proliferation are often regulated by multiple factors. The Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite germ line provides a simple and accessible system for studying stem cells in vivo In this system, GLP-1/Notch activity prevents the…[Read more]

During metal cutting, high temperatures of several hundred-degree Celsius occur locally at the cutting edge, which greatly impacts tool wear and life. Not only the cutting parameters, but also the tool material’s properties influence the arising cutting temperature which in turn alters the mechanical properties of the tool. In this study, the…[Read more]
