Multi-modal Predictive Models of Diabetes Progression [PDF]
, 2019 With the increasing availability of wearable devices, continuous monitoring of individuals' physiological and behavioral patterns has become significantly more accessible. Access to these continuous patterns about individuals' statuses offers an unprecedented opportunity for studying complex diseases and health conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Multi-source domain adaptation for regression [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Multi-source domain adaptation (DA) aims at leveraging information from more than one source domain to make predictions in a target domain, where different domains may have different data distributions. Most existing methods for multi-source DA focus on classification problems while there is only limited investigation in the regression settings.

The Structure of Cholesterol in Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Physical Review Letters 113, 228101 (2014), 2014 Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano- or mesoscopic structures in the plasma membrane and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes such as signal transduction, adhesion, trafficking and lipid/protein sorting. Observations of these membrane heterogeneities have proven challenging, as they are thought to be both small and short-

Oxysterols in Vascular Cells and Role in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Implication of Oxysterols and Phytosterols in Aging and Human
Diseases, 1440, Springer International Publishing, pp.213-229, 2024, Advances
in Experimental Medicine and BiologyAtherosclerosis is a major cardiovascular complication of diseases associated with elevated oxidative stress such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In these situations, low density lipoproteins (LDL) undergo oxidation. Oxidized LDL display proatherogenic activities through multiple and complex mechanisms which lead to dysfunctions of vascular ...

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of plaque formation associated with the cholesterol ratio [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratio has been shown a high correlation with the cardiovascular risk assessment. Is it possible to quantify the correlation mathematically? In this paper, we develop a bifurcation analysis for a mathematical model of the plaque formation with a free boundary in the early stage

The High Prevalence of Low HDL-Cholesterol Levels and Dyslipidemia in Rural Populations in Northwestern China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Dyslipidemia is a major health problem in China and an important modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) and ...

Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020 Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events.

Subjects with low plasma HDL cholesterol levels are characterized by an inflammatory and oxidative phenotype. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Epidemiological studies have shown that low plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but the mechanisms for the possible atheroprotective effects of HDL cholesterol have ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001 HDL plays an initial role in reverse cholesterol transport by mediating cholesterol removal from cells. During infection and inflammation, several changes in HDL composition occur that may affect the function of HDL; therefore, we determined the ability ...
