Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a chronic disease, which tends to recur.Whether an abnormal fibrinolytic system is associated with an increased risk of VTE is unclear.We assessed the relationship between fibrinolytic capacity (reflected by clot lysis time [CLT]) and risk of recurrent VTE.We followed 704 patients (378 women; mean age 48 yrs) with a
To address the challenge of relying on complex biochemical methods for identifying rice species, a prediction model that combines gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-IMS) with a convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed.The model utilizes the GC-IMS fingerprint data of each rice variety sample, and an improved CNN structure is e
The current medical standard for setting an oral cancer (OC) diagnosis is histological examination of a tissue sample taken from the Fridge Water Valve oral cavity.This process is time-consuming and more invasive than an alternative approach of acquiring a brush sample followed by cytological analysis.Using a microscope, skilled cytotechnologists a
Historically, ecosystem models have treated rainfall as the primary moisture source driving litter decomposition.In many arid and semi-arid lands, however, non-rainfall moisture (fog, dew, and water vapor) plays a more important role in supporting microbial activity and carbon turnover.To date though, we lack a robust approach for modeling the role
Ball lightning is a mysterious phenomenon reported by numerous eyewitnesses.The very limited instrumental characterization of ball lightning recorded in nature has maintained the mystery surrounding this phenomenon and given rise to many theories on their generation mechanism.In this work, we reproduced conditions in the laboratory Pentair UltraTem
