Paired cerebrospinal fluid metabolomic changes across repeated anodal transcranial direct current stimulation in Parkinson’s disease: an exploratory within-subject study

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been investigated as an adjunctive intervention for Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its biochemical correlates in the human central nervous system remain poorly characterized. We examined participant-level cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...

Contrasting Prognostic Value of Discordance Between Resting Distal-to-Aortic Coronary Pressure Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Artery Disease

BACKGROUND: Discordance between nonhyperemic pressure ratios and fractional flow reserve (FFR), observed in up to 20% of cases, complicates clinical decision-making for coronary revascularization and warrants further investigation of its clinical implications. This study aimed to...

Distinct clinical patterns of preterm infants vulnerable to intestinal injury identified by unsupervised clustering

BACKGROUND: Current necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) diagnostic criteria fail to capture the full spectrum of intestinal injury. We aimed to identify diagnosis-independent clinical patterns of intestinal injury among vulnerable very low birth weight (VLBW) infants using unsupervis...

Nutritional support for critically ill patients by the Korean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition—part II: a clinical practice guideline

Purpose: Nutritional therapy is an essential component of intensive care management. Appropriate nutritional support may reduce infectious and metabolic complications and promote recovery in critically ill patients. However, nutritional practices vary across institutions, and int...
