Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Studies have primarily assessed the relationship between smoking on COPD risk focusing on summary measures, like smoking status.

Develop a COPD risk prediction model incorporating individual time-varying smoking exposures.

76% of those with AP, and 63% with PD, had an estimated fracture risk indicating bone-sparing treatment, but only 33% of patients with AP were receiving this where it was indicated.

There is scope for considerable improvement in fracture risk assessment and treatment in atypical parkinsonism, taking into account the worse prognosis of this…[Read more]

In-stent chronic total occlusion (CTO) presents various occlusion patterns, which complicate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

To investigate the initial outcome and strategy of PCI for in-stent CTO according to the angiographic occlusion patterns.

This study assessed 791 in-stent CTOs from the Japanese CTO-PCI Expert…[Read more]

To determine the difference in mean corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) between the healthy and diseased eyes of the patients with unilateral pterygium with different morphology patterns by using a non-contact specular microscope (SP2000 Topcon Corporation, Japan) and to find out any relationship between severity…[Read more]

We provide gauge/gravity dual descriptions of explicit realizations of the strong coupling sector of composite Higgs models using insights from nonconformal examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We calculate particle masses and pion decay constants for proposed Sp(4) and SU(4) gauge theories, where there is the best lattice data for comparison.…[Read more]

Furthermore, we revealed the presence of an intraocular microbiome in normal eyes from non-human mammals and demonstrated that this varied across species (rat, rabbit, pig, and macaque) and was established after birth. These findings represent the first-ever evidence of intraocular microbiota in humans.Conventional wisdom posits that spin-triplet…[Read more]

Progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) constitutes a major unresolved clinical challenge, and effective targeted therapies are lacking. Because microtubule dynamics play pivotal roles in breast cancer metastasis, we performed RNA sequencing on 245 samples from TNBC patients to characterize the landscape of microtubule-associated…[Read more]
