The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become an important issue worldwide. Metabolic comorbidities hypertension, obesity, and hyperlipidemia are shown as risk factors for incident gout. purpose this study was to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia MetS. This is a cross-sectional study. effective sample included 21,544 individuals who received worker health examinations at local teaching hospital in Changhua County from 2008~2012. We used multiple logistic...
To apply high-entropy alloys (HEAs) for extensive advanced structural uses, their welding properties should be well understood. In this study, Al0.3CoCrCu0.3FeNi HEA was butt welded by friction stir (FSW). The fine-grained partially recrystallized microstructure in the zone gave rise to a high tensile yield strength of 920 MPa with an elongation 37%. By microstructural observation, excellent mechanical material were attributed heterogeneous structure, which synergetic strengthening improved...
Using machine learning techniques, we developed a brief questionnaire to aid neurologists and neuropsychologists in the screening of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) dementia.With reduction survey size as goal this research, feature selection based on information gain was performed rank contribution 45 items corresponding patient responses specified questions. The most important were used build optimal model accuracy, practicality, interpretability. diagnostic accuracy for discriminating...
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has recently been proposed as a reliable marker of insulin resistance. There is insufficient evidence to verify that the TyG correlated with functional outcomes and hemorrhagic transformation in patients stroke treated intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).We designed multicenter cohort study, which enrolled acute ischemic IVT between December 2004 2016. was divided into tertiles calculated on continuous scale. Unfavorable were defined by modified Rankin Scale...
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious inflammatory disorder which remains the primary cause of incidence and mortality in patients with acute pulmonary inflammation. However, there still no effective medical strategy available clinically for improvement ALI. Wogonin, isolated from roots Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, common medicinal herb presents biological pharmacological effects, including antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anticancer. Preadministration wogonin inhibited not only edema but...
The aims of this study are to investigate the relationships metabolic syndrome (MetS) with insomnia symptoms and sleep duration in a Chinese adult population.Data from nationwide epidemiological survey conducted on residents randomly selected districts Taiwan 2007 were used for cross-sectional population-based study. A total 4,197 participants included Insomnia symptoms, including difficulty initiating (DIS), maintaining (DMS), early morning awakening (EMA), assessed using Self-Assessment...
Abstract Background and purpose In recent years, there has been extensive research on the role of exercise as an adjunctive therapy for cancer. However, potential mechanisms underlying anti-tumor in lung cancer remain to be fully elucidated. As such, our study aims confirm whether exercise-induced elevation epinephrine can accelerate CD8 + T cell recruitment through modulation chemokines thus ultimately inhibit tumor progression. Method C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously inoculated with Lewis...
Background and Purpose: As populations age, there is an increasing need to optimize endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. We harmonized prospective stroke registries from Korea Taiwan enable direct comparisons of patient characteristics clinical outcomes, with a particular focus on the impact advanced age. Methods: Prospective in South (CRCS-K) (TREAT-AIS) were form unified dataset patients treated EVT. EVT outcomes included 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS), symptomatic...
Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT lacking. This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent anterior circulation stroke the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A including factors an was developed to differentiate...
Physical activity, particularly regular aerobic exercise, is effective in preventing dementia. However, such activities are less feasible for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) or other motor dysfunctions. In this study, we investigated whether the minimal amount of exercise (MAE) through walking, which practical individuals dysfunction, can reduce risk dementia PD. For retrospective longitudinal enrolled 470 PD without from 3 centers Taiwan. total, 187 (39.8%) subsequently developed...
The emergence of peer-to-peer networking and the increase home PC storage capacity are necessitating efficient scaleable methods for video clustering, recommending browsing. Based on film theories psychological models, color-mood is an important factor affecting user emotional preferences. We propose a compact set features analysis subgenre discrimination. introduce two color representations scenes full films in order to extract essential moods from films: global measure palette...
Background and Purpose— The study aimed to assess whether onset headache is an ominous sign in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. Methods— A large population of stroke was obtained from the Taiwan Stroke Registry. subtypes were classified by Trial ORG 10172 Acute Treatment (TOAST) criteria. On basis International Classification Headache Disorders, second version, defined as a new that developed at Clinical features impact on outcomes, including in-hospital evolution, changes National...
To investigate encephalitis in Taiwan, a multicenter study was conducted with patients who had acute severe neurological dysfunction and suspected from May 2000 to December 2001. Demographic data such as age, sex, seasons were analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction analyses performed determine the microbiologic diagnosis. The included 73 males 54 females, peak age of 10-40 years old. Microbiologic diagnoses 86 (69%) 124 cases involved herpes simplex virus (HSV, 45 cases), varicella zoster (16...
Objective Visual hallucinations (VHs) are among the most striking features of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We investigated gender differences in association and presentation VHs DLB. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis baseline data from a prospective, longitudinal study on was performed. Cumulative frequency, 1‐month phenomenology were summarized compared between female male patients Gender factors associated without hallucinations. Results total 152 including 65 (42.8%) women 87 (57.2%)...
Although a lower level of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was reported to be inversely associated with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), no enough evidence has verified whether lipid profiles modify hemorrhagic transformation and functional outcomes in patients acute ischemic treated thrombolysis.This multicenter cohort study included 2373 stroke intravenous thrombolysis between December 2004 2016. Of these, 1845 were categorized into either the hyperlipidemia or...
Tai Chi synergy T1 exercise is an aerobic derived mainly from exercise. It also the Eight Trigrams Palms, form and will boxing, mantis Qigong, Yoga, with a total of 16 sessions in 63 minutes. In this study, we investigated its effects on autonomic modulation, metabolism, immunity, physical function healthy practitioners.We recruited 26 volunteers 23 control participants.
