Time series analysis of Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The aim of this paper is to study the (clinical) time-series data of three diseases with complex dynamics: Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. For this purpose, first all of the time series data are embedded in a vector space of suitable dimension and then the correlation dimension of the above mentioned ...

Analysis of the human diseasome reveals phenotype modules across common, genetic, and infectious diseases [PDF]
, 2014 Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are signs and symptoms of human Mendelian diseases in databases such as OMIM and Orphanet.

Environmental toxicity influences disease spread in consumer population [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The study of infectious disease has been of interest to ecologists since long. The initiation of epidemic and the long term disease dynamics are largely influenced by the nature of the underlying consumer (host)-resource dynamics. Ecological traits of such systems may be often modulated by toxins released in the environment due to ongoing anthropogenic

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The sigmoid colon was the most common perforation site among patients with colonic diverticular perforation. The patients' conditions, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization cost were significantly worse in left‐sided colon diverticular perforation than in right‐sided colon diverticular perforation. The clinical characteristics differed according

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.IGF‐1 levels above 174.9 ng/mL were associated with better wound healing and lower postoperative inflammation. Higher IGF‐1 levels correlated with improved anal function at 7 and 14 days post‐surgery. ABSTRACT Background Anal fistula is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal tract between the anal canal and perianal skin, often leading to ...

Increasing the Discovery Power and Confidence Levels of Disease Association Studies: A Survey [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The majority of common diseases are influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors such as Cancer. Even though uncovering the main causes of disease is deemed difficult due to the complexity of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, major research efforts aim at identifying disease risk factors, especially genetic ones.

Non-Invasive monitoring of Inflammatory Bowel Disease : time to use newer tools? [PDF]
, 2013 Introduction: In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), commonly used biomarkers employed for non-invasive monitoring of disease activity are the C-reactive Protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR). Ulcerative colitis (UC) has a modest to absent
