Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of death in the United States. These diseases, including coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke, pose significant health risks. Accurate prediction of CVD probability can aid in prevention and management. To address this challenge, we analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) spanning 1995-2017. We developed innovative methods to handle missing data and normalize values. Deep learning models were empl...

Objective: To evaluate the potential causal relationship between 182 gut microbiota and childhood obesity by two-sample Mendelian randomization. Methods: The data source was the summary data of genome-wide association study (GWAS), and 182 intestinal microbiota contained 874 single nucleotide diversity (SNPs). The childhood obesity data contained 2,442,739 SNPs. Mendelian randomization analysis was performed using three methods: inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median,...

Smartphone-based Oximetry device as early healthcare detection is a technological frontier. Smartphone oximetry devices offer a convenient method for remote SpO 2 monitoring and early detection of critical health issues, especially during pandemics when vital indicators are necessary. Rising healthcare demands, and the COVID-19 pandemic are recent causes necessitating the prevalence for accessible early detection tools. This research investigates smartphone oximetry device as a conveni...

Objective: To identify the candidate hub genes of prostate cancer (PCa) and investigate the relevance of the genes on the development of PCa by bioinformatics methods. Methods: The mRNA expression profile datasets GSE103512 was collected from GEO database, and find out differential expression genes (DEGs) between PCa and normal tissues using the GEO2R tool. Subsequently, to further elucidate the interaction of DEGs and screen the hub genes, we conducted GO and KEGG enrichment analysis by DAVID 6...

Species invasion will cause certain harm to the local ecosystem. Vespa mandarinia, discovered on Vancouver Island, is harmful to agriculture and predators of European honeybees. The government tried to use a crowdsourcing system to collect information and formulate policies to eliminate Vespa mandarinia. However, the information provided by the local population about Vespa mandarinia is not entirely accurate. For this problem, we build a method to mine trusted informat...

This paper aims to clarify the current research status and hot spots, as well as to predict future research trends about radical S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) enzymes. We conducted this study based on 649 research papers about radical SAM enzymes published in the years of 1999 to 2020 on the Web of Science. Tools like CiteSpace were employed for statistical and visual network analysis of the time of publication, national cooperative relations, core authors, and co-word networks. Our findings inclu...

An important feature of blockchain technology is that all participants jointly maintain transaction data and can achieve mutual trust relationships without integrated control, which relies on distributed consensus algorithms. Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant algorithm (PBFT) is a fault-tolerant algorithm based on state machine replication, which solves the Byzantine error, that is, the malicious behavior of nodes. In PBFT, all participating nodes are divided into the primary node and backup no...

Human cancer, which has complex pathogenesis, is generally relative to the dysfunction of biological systems. Thus, our research is not at molecular level, but at system level, i.e. molecular network. In this paper, specially, we use PPI network. In order to construct a PPI network, we used the SSN method which is proposed by Professor X. Liu and others. The SSN method is distinct from the traditional network methods, especially in screening differential expressed genes. Besides, the traditional...

In silico analysis can be useful to infer about the
horizontal gene transfer (HGT) as well as to deduce about the evolutionary
relations of catabolic genes. In this study, we performed the analysis of two
housekeeping genes (fabD and rpoD) and two catabolic gene ...

The imbalance between oxidant molecules and
antioxidant agents is characterized as oxidative stress (OS) and may lead to
severe damage to the organism. In contrast, the physical training of aerobic
and resistive character promotes increases of the antioxidant response,
resulting in a balance and/or minimizing damage. Therefore, the objective of
the study is to verify the effect of aerobic training, resistive training and
concurren ...
