Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

Identification of Ischemic Heart Disease by using machine learning technique based on parameters measuring Heart Rate Variability [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The diagnosis of heart diseases is a difficult task generally addressed by an appropriate examination of patients clinical data. Recently, the use of heart rate variability (HRV) analysis as well as of some machine learning algorithms, has proved to be a valuable support in the diagnosis process. However, till now, ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been

A Non-Invasive Interpretable NAFLD Diagnostic Method Combining TCM Tongue Features [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinicopathological syndrome characterized by hepatic steatosis resulting from the exclusion of alcohol and other identifiable liver-damaging factors. It has emerged as a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Currently, the conventional methods for NAFLD detection are expensive and not suitable

Two New Kindreds with Complete Factor D Deficiency
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 3, March 2025.The complement system plays a crucial role in immune defense, and factor D deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency associated with life‐threatening bacterial infections. We report two new cases of complete factor D deficiency, including the first described in a Down syndrome patient, highlighting the need to investigate complement deficiencies in ...
