Predicting the Risk of Proteinuria Based on Blood Plasma Fourier‐Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning Algorithms From Pregnant Women and Newborns

ABSTRACT Proteinuria, defined by an abnormally elevated concentration of proteins in the urine, serves as a critical biomarker for the early detection and diagnosis of preeclampsia. Elevated proteinuria levels adversely affect both maternal and foetal health, increasing the risk...

Chelsea critical care physical assessment tool (CPAx) for adult patients hospitalized in the ward: measurement properties

Objective To evaluate the measurement properties of the Brazilian version of the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx-Br) and evaluate the evidence of validity in adult general ward patients, extending its application beyond the critical care setting for which it...

Salivary and serum levels of NT-proBNP, troponin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in patients with heart failure

Background Saliva has been proposed as a non-invasive biological matrix for cardiovascular biomarker assessment. However, evidence regarding its agreement with blood-based measurements in patients with heart failure remains inconsistent. Objective To assess the presence of NT-pro...

Intelligent Steel Surface Defect Segmentation for Edge-Oriented IIoT Quality Control

Automated surface defect detection in hot-rolled steel is a prerequisite for real-time quality control, yet most deployed inspection systems operate in isolation from Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure. This paper reports a laboratory-scale proof of concept with...
