Prenatal Diagnosis of Horseshoe Lung: A Report of Three Cases and Review of the Literature
ABSTRACT Objective Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital malformation in which the lungs are fused by a parenchymal isthmus. The current literature is very limited regarding cases of prenatal diagnosis and their outcome. Method We retrospectively examined three cases of fetuses with horseshoe lung diagnosed antenatally in our center from 2015 to 2024 ...

AI-Driven Predictive Analytics Approach for Early Prognosis of Chronic Kidney Disease Using Ensemble Learning and Explainable AI [PDF]
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the widespread Chronic diseases with no known ultimo cure and high morbidity. Research demonstrates that progressive Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a heterogeneous disorder that significantly impacts kidney structure and functions, eventually leading to kidney failure. With the progression of time, chronic kidney

Comparing Online Community Structure of Patients of Chronic Diseases [PDF]
In this paper we compare the social network structure of people talking about Crohn's disease, Cystic Fibrosis, and Type 1 diabetes on Facebook and Twitter. We find that the Crohn's community's contributors are most emotional on Facebook and Twitter and most negative on Twitter, while the T1D community's communication network structure is most cohesive.

Comparative Proteomics of Salinity Stress Responses in Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
ABSTRACT Fluctuating salinity is symptomatic of climate change challenging aquatic species. The melting of polar ice, rising sea levels, coastal surface and groundwater salinization, and increased evaporation in arid habitats alter salinity worldwide. Moreover, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as rainstorms and floods increase,

ABSTRACT The orally inhaled route of administration for respiratory indications can maximize drug exposure to the site of action (lung) to increase efficacy while minimizing systemic exposure to achieve an improved safety profile. However, due to the difficulty of taking samples from different regions of the human lung, often only systemic ...
