Introduction There is increasing recognition of the central role of muscle mass in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with liver disease. Muscle size can be extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans, but clinical implementation will require increased automation. We hypothesize that we can achieve this by using artificial intelligence.…[Read more]

5%, ST101 in 20.3% and ST307 in 18.2% of the isolates. cgMLST of ST307 and ST101 isolates revealed presence of more than one beta-lactam resistance gene. Amino acid substitution in the chromosomal colistin-resistance gene pmrB was found in two ST101 isolates. Conclusions ST512 is widespread in Southern Italy, but ST101 and ST307 are emerging since…[Read more]

Over the years, numerous evidences have demonstrated that microbes living in the human body are closely related to human life activities and human diseases. However, traditional biological experiments are time-consuming and expensive, so it has become a research topic in bioinformatics to predict potential microbe-disease associations by adopting…[Read more]

02-2.59), and hazardous alcohol OR1.80 (95% CI, 1.05-3.09). Food insecurity appears to have a slightly protective effect on the odds of whoonga use or reports of use among people adolescents knew OR0.649 (95% CI, 0.541-0.779). Conclusions Larger epidemiological studies should expand the surveillance of hazardous alcohol use and illicit drug use,…[Read more]

Few studies have examined variations in obesity by geographic location in youth and its relation with fitness levels. The present study investigated the association between geographic status (islands versus mainland), excess of body weight and fitness levels among 335.810 schoolchildren (male 51.3%, 6-18 y, during the school year 2014-2015). HSP s…[Read more]

Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) technique has been used to fabricate the Ag nanoparticles (NPs) over TiO₂ thin film (TF) on the n-Si substrate. The deposited Ag NPs are in the size of 3-5 nm. Open-air annealing has been done at 500 °C and 600 °C for the n-Si/TiO₂ TF/Ag NP samples. High Resolution X-ray Diffraction (HRXRD) peaks were ident…[Read more]

On the other hand, in some other regions, dietary diversity is best improved through the income generation pathway, where households that earn increased income from selling more crops were able to purchase more diverse food from markets. Our study suggests that the drivers of household dietary diversity across rural India are complex and…[Read more]

Background Several strategies have been proposed to determine onset of puberty without examination by a trained professional. This study sought to evaluate a novel approach to determine onset of puberty in girls. Methods This study utilized the Cincinnati cohort of the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program. Girls were recruited at 6-7…[Read more]
