A structural cardiac pathway mediates the risk of ischemic heart disease from TyG-related indices: A prospective cohort study

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its derivatives are surrogate markers of insulin resistance and are closely associated with cardiovascular risk. However, whether and to what extent they are associated with IHD risk through subclinical cardiac remodeling remains unclear....

Rickettsia japonica strain YC21 from a fatal human case in China: comparative genomics and experimental characterization of infection phenotypes

Rickettsia japonica causes Japanese spotted fever (JSF), an emerging severe tick-borne disease in East Asia. We recently isolated strain YC21 from the first laboratory-confirmed fatal JSF case in China. This study aimed to characterize the genomic features and infection phenotype...

LDA-YOLO11: a lightweight detail-attention detector for edge-deployable road surface defect detection

Abstract Road surface defects, such as cracks, pavement damage and potholes, shorten road service life and affect driving safety and preventive maintenance. Existing lightweight object detectors are computationally efficient but still suffer from missed detections and unstable lo...
