ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Systemic inflammation indices derived from complete blood counts (CBC) are accessible markers of inflammatory burden, but their relationship with circulating cytokines in psoriasis rema...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are extensively used in applications such as environmental monitoring, surveillance, and smart security, but their performance is limited by the restricted energy capacity of sensor nodes,...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Psoriasis is a skin disorder complicated by arthritis and enthesitis. The cytokines interleukin (IL)‐17, IL‐23, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α are reportedly key effectors of psorias...

Abstract Background Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a severe, systemic inflammatory dermatosis. While kidney involvement is rare, the massive cytokine release associated with EP can induce systemic complications. We repo...

Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder frequently accompanied by multisystem involvement, with increasing concern regarding its association with renal impairment. The advent and widespread use of biolog...

Abstract Inflammation, defect skin barrier and oxidative stress contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis, a common chronic inflammatory skin disease. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) represents a promising treatmen...

Objectives Development of a new ultrasound (US) synovitis score (SONography in Arthritis and Rheumatism (SONAR)-7) with evaluation of its diagnostic performance in a cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ...

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to expound the effect of asiatic acid (AA) on psoriasis via modulating the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. Methods: An imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis model in BA...

Abstract Accurate and real-time prediction of lost circulation is essential for ensuring drilling safety and operational efficiency. Existing data-driven approaches, however, often lack effective integration of domain ex...

The association between cheese consumption and chronic inflammatory skin conditions remains unclear. We used a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) framework to investigate the genetic causality between ...

In this paper, a near-field integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) using a multi-waveguide pinching antenna system (PASS) is proposed, where discrete radiating particles are flexibly clamped along multiple dielectri...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, resulting in recurrent inflammatory episodes and a risk of developing amyloido...

Immune dysregulation can lead to autoimmunity and autoinflammation. The goal of treatment is to balance targeted therapies while avoiding infections or other side effects, which becomes complicated with multiple diagnose...

Abstract This research employs hybrid machine learning techniques to optimize the mechanical properties of 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) lattice structures. By integrating random forest (RF) and XGBoost (XGB) algorith...

To address the challenges of voltage deviation and increased network losses arising from the high integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in distribution networks, this paper proposes a bi-level optimisation model for c...

Integration of Photovoltaic (PV) generation into oil and gas power networks has transformed fault behaviour by creating highly complex sensitivity challenges for conventional Overcurrent Relay (OCR) coordination and trip...

Abstract Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation in lumbar‑spine muscles is associated with sarcopenia, low‑back pain and poorer surgical outcomes. Dixon MRI allows the measurement of IMF with voxel-wise fat ...

Abstract This article proposes a simple and reliable Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch (DEED) model for a power system integrating Renewable Energy Sources (RES), including photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind energy. The...

BackgroundItchy E3 ubiquitin ligase deficiency (ITCH deficiency) is a rare monogenic immune dysregulation syndrome characterized by early-onset multisystem autoimmunity and significant morbidity and mortality. Only one p...

Abstract IL-22, a signature cytokine for type 3 lymphoid cells, including T helper 17/22 (Th17/22) and type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3), mediates epithelial homeostasis and protective pathogen responses in barrier tis...

Abstract Background Autoimmune conditions are common in women of reproductive age. They are associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes; whether this is causal is unclear. Our aim was to explore the c...

Cutaneous lymphatic vessels are essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and coordinating immune defence, making them vital to skin health. Recent advances in molecular biology and immunology have revealed the associ...

IntroductionThe knee-to-knee position is considered an effective and comfortable position for patients, parents, and dentists to facilitate a toddler's dental examination. Since the knee-to-knee method requires the invol...
