Introduction: This study presents a novel multi-view learning approach for machine learning (ML)-based Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis.

Methods: A diffusion model is proposed to synthesize the fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) view from the magnetic resonance imaging T1 weighted imaging (MRI T1WI) view and incorporate two synthesis strategies: one-way synthesis and two-way synthesis. To assess the utility of the synthesized views, we use multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based classifiers with various combinations of the views.

Article Synopsis
  • Utilisation of health services for mood and anxiety disorders in China is low and often delayed, despite the availability of effective treatments.
  • The study analyzed data from the China Mental Health Survey, identifying 3,075 patients out of 32,552 surveyed, with only 15.5% seeking any health care, and even fewer (4.8%) pursuing specialized mental health services.
  • Key findings indicated that delays in seeking care were significant, particularly for depressive (1.0 years), bipolar (1.9 years), and anxiety disorders (10.0 years), with younger patients and those with comorbidities more likely to seek help.
  • The study suggests that national strategies are essential for increasing health care utilization among individuals with mental health

Objective: To investigate the toxic effect of chlorambucil combined with ibrutinib on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell line Jeko-1 and its related mechanism.

Methods: The MCL cell line Jeko-1 was incubated with different concentrations of chlorambucil or ibrutinib or the combination of the two drugs, respectively. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation of the cells, and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of BCL-2, caspase-3, PI3K, AKT and P-AKT.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the thickness of the uterine muscle layer at placenta attachment and postpartum hemorrhage, and to evaluate the predictive value of this thickness in identifying high-risk patients. It provides a theoretical basis for early identification and screening of pregnant women at high risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and reduces the occurrence of serious complications of postpartum hemorrhage.

Method: A total of 378 pregnant women admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Shantou City from January to December 2021 were enrolled in this study.

This study was designed to explore prevalence and correlates of self-reported loneliness and to investigate whether loneliness predicts mortality among older adults (aged 65 or above) in Latin America, China and India. The study investigated population-based cross-sectional (2003-2007) and longitudinal surveys (follow-up 2007-2010) from the 10/66 Dementia Research Group project. Poisson regression and Cox regression analyses were conducted to analyse correlates of loneliness and its association with mortality.
