Assessment and clinical utility of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for suspected lower respiratory tract infections
ConclusionsmNGS offers rapid and precise pathogen detection for patients with suspected LRTIs and shows considerable promise in diagnosingMycobacterium tuberculosis and fungal infections. By broadening the pathogen spectrum and identifying polymicrobial infections, mNGS can significantly inform and refine antibiotic therapy. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Association of novel anthropometric indices with prevalence of kidney stone disease: a  population-based cross-sectional study
ConclusionsThe findings of our study indicate that the discriminant ability of ABSI and BRI for KSD is significantly superior to that of BMI and waist circumference. Consequently, ABSI and BRI have the potential to more accurately identify an individual ’s risk of developing KSD in a clinical setting. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Threshold-modifying effect of the systemic inflammatory response index on kidney function decline in hypertensive patients
ConclusionsThe association between the SIRI and renal function in hypertensive patients was significant and was particularly dominated by the association between the SIRI and the ACR. This difference may be due to the mediating effect of diastolic blood pressure. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Relationship between albumin-corrected anion gap and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease varied in different waist circumference groups: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionsACAG level is independently associated with NAFLD but not CSF. ACAG might be a novel and reliable biomarker for predicting NAFLD clinically especially in the central obesity population. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Cortical lipid metabolic pathway alteration of early Alzheimer ’s disease and candidate drugs screen
ConclusionsAD cortical lipid metabolism disorder was associated with the dysregulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, adipocytokine signaling pathway, fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid degradation, ferroptosis, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and fatty acid elongation. Candidate drugs including bisphenol A, benzo(a)pyrene, ethinyl estradiol, and active compounds including adenosine phosphate, oxidized Photinus luciferin, and BMS-488043 have potential therapeutic effects on cortical lipid metabolism disorder of early AD.

Diagnostic value of serum COMP and ADAMTS7 for intervertebral disc degeneration
ConclusionsIncreases in circulating COMP and ADAMTS7 correlate with IVDD progression and may play regulatory roles. Assays for sCOMP and/or sADAMTS7 levels can discriminate between healthy subjects and IVDD patients, warranting further clinical assessment. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

A genetic survey of patients with familial idiopathic intracranial hypertension residing in a Middle Eastern village: genetic association study
ConclusionsWe discovered new loci possibly associated with IIH by employing a GWAS technique to estimate the associations with haplotypes instead of specific SNPs. This method can in all probability be used in cases where there is a limited amount of samples but strong familial connections. Several loci were identified that might be strong candidates for follow-up studies in other well-phenotypes cohorts. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)
