Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) can result in high mortality upon rupture but are usually undiagnosed because of the absence symptoms early stage. Ultrasound screening is regarded as an impactful way to prevent AAA-related death cannot be performed efficiently; therefore, a target population, especially Asia, for this procedure lacking. Additionally, although dyslipidaemia and atherosclerosis associated with AAA. However, it remains undetermined whether non-high-density...

The identification and detection of microalgae are essential for the development utilization resources. Traditional methods have many limitations. Herein, a Feature-Enhanced YOLOv7 (FE-YOLO) model cell is proposed. Firstly, feature extraction capability was enhanced by integrating CAGS (Coordinate Attention Group Shuffle Convolution) attention module into Neck section. Secondly, SIoU (SCYLLA-IoU) algorithm employed to replace CIoU (Complete IoU) loss function in original model, addressing...

The participants were 5204 community-dwelling adults aged at least 60 years from the China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study. Five diseases assessed including hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, cardiac stroke. Frailty status was based on five criteria: slowness, weakness, exhaustion, inactivity, shrinking. Participants deemed...

Soluble corin was decreased in coronary heart disease. Given the connections between cardiac dysfunction and stroke, circulating might be a candidate marker of stroke risk. However, association has not yet been studied humans. Here, we aimed to examine patients wtith community-based healthy controls.Four hundred eighty-one with ischemic 116 hemorrhagic 2498 controls were studied. Serum soluble some conventional risk factors examined. Because reported varied men women, serum evaluated...

Transient ischemic attack (TIA), an important risk factor for stroke, is associated with widespread disruptions of functional brain architecture. However, TIA-related structural alterations are not well established. By analyzing MRI data from 50 TIA patients versus 40 healthy controls (HCs), here we systematically investigated morphological in multiple cortical surface-based indices (cortical thickness [CT], fractal dimension [FD], gyrification index [GI], and sulcal depth [SD]) at levels...

The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) may reflect activity from different regions of the brain. Particularly, it was reported that gamma-band ASSR plays an important role in working memory, speech understanding, and recognition. Traditionally, has been determined by power spectral density analysis, which cannot detect exact overall distributed properties ASSR. Functional network analysis recently applied electroencephalography studies. Previous studies on resting or state found a...
