Identification of Alcoholic Hepatitis-related Genes using Liver and Blood Transcriptomes Open
Background Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a widespread and life-threatening chronic liver condition that poses a risk of short-term mortality if not properly managed. Clinicians often encounter challenges due to insufficient knowledge about t…
Development of an equation to predict delta bilirubin levels using machine learning Open
The equation established in this study is practical and can be easily applied in real-time in clinical laboratories.
Standardization of an antimicrobial resistance surveillance network through data management Open
Introduction The rapid spread of COVID-19 worldwide within 2 months demonstrated the vulnerability of the world’s population to infectious diseases. In 2015, the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) was launc…
