Neuropathic pain is initiated or caused by a lesion or dysfunction of the nervous system and is maintained by a number of mechanisms.3,4 Injury or insult to the nervous system may lead to long- term structural
Disease progression patterns of patients with more than one disease have recently received increasing attention, as disease co-occurrences can help to elucidate the interaction between the molecular level and external exposures such as diet, lifestyle and patient care. Additionally, they can provide inf...
Accessing useful and relevant information from these OMRs in a timely manner is a challenging task due to a combination of the presence of machine-illegible information and the limited system interoperability inherent in healthcare. Little research has been done on investigating information in OMRs....
Considerable overlap has been identified in the risk factors, comorbidities and putative pathophysiological mechanisms of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRDs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), two of the most pressing epidemics of our time. Much is known about the biology of each cond...
abnormalities. However, the exorbitant costs and limited accessibility of these advanced therapies pose ongoing challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings.

term=biomarkers. This considerable progress in medical science particu- larly linked to drug development and diagnostics has given us a unique milestone position, from where we have established the new beginning of an understanding of protein function in disease. An estimated $1bn has been ...
Interval scales are a rarity, and it’s difficult to think of a common example other than the Fahrenheit scale. For this reason, the term “interval data” is sometimes used to describe both interval and ratio data (discussed in the next section). Ratio Data Ratio data has all the ...
