Depression has a significant global impact. Previous studies have suggested link between depression and prostate diseases. However, these are often observational may be influenced by confounding factors reverse causality. This research aimed to explore the potential causal relationship diseases using Mendelian randomisation (MR) assess mediating role of immune cell phenotypes. We utilised MR methods with genome-wide association (GWAS) data. The analysis was conducted in two phases: (a)...
Abstract Background Early diagnosis of tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) remains a great challenge during clinical practice. The diagnostic efficacies cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)‐based mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) culture, modified Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) staining, Xpert MTB/RIF, and metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) for TBM remained elusive. Methods A total 216 adult patients with suspicious were retrospectively enrolled in this multi‐cohort study. performances MGIT, ZN mNGS...
ObjectivesDelay in diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is an important but under-appreciated problem. Our study aimed to analyse the patient pathway and possible risk factors long diagnostic delay (LDD).MethodsWe enrolled 400 new bacteriologically diagnosed patients with pulmonary TB from 20 hospitals across China. LDD was defined as interval between initial care visit confirmation exceeding 14 days. Its potential were investigated by multivariate logistic regression multilevel regression....
ABSTRACT Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is associated with different cardiovascular diseases, however, the association between OH and coronary slow flow (CSF) has never been evaluated before. Materials Methods Chest pain patients who underwent angiography (CAG) normal arteries in our department from January 1st, 2022 to August 31st, 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients divided into CSF group blood (NBF) group. Relative clinical information, laboratory test results as well of...
