They categorized based body mass index (BMI) or percentage fat (PBF)....

Emerging evidence indicates that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a wide variety of extrahepatic complications. However, the potential association between impaired pulmonary function and NAFLD has been less investigated. This study examined relationship hepatic steatosis in 9976 adults participating cross-sectional analysis Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). was defined as presented on ultrasound examinations absence other known...

Emerging evidence indicates that elevated serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, but the mechanisms for this relationship remain uncertain. Since metabolic syndrome (MetS) is correlated a higher risk of complications, we investigated joint association between LDH and all-cause mortality in US general population MetS.Retrospective study.The USA.A retrospective observational study 3872 adults MetS 7516 without National Health Nutrition...

Abstract Serum calcium, although only comprising 1% of total body is involved in intracellular signal pathways, vascular dilatation/constriction, and muscle contraction, which are crucial for insulin secretion, cholesterol catabolism, blood pressure regulation. As far as we know, research on the relationship between serum calcium level metabolic syndrome (MetS), diabetes, hypertension one longitudinal study rare. Owing to role human cardiometabolic physiology lack related so far, this aims...

Seismological data plays a crucial role in timely slope failure hazard assessments. However, identifying rockfall waveforms from seismic poses challenges due to their high variability across different events and stations. To address this, we propose RockNet, deep-learning-based multitask model capable of detecting both earthquake at the single-station local network levels. RockNet consists two submodels: model, which computes waveform masks for signals performs <inline-formula...
