BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer (LC) have similar clinical symptoms and atypical imaging findings which are easily misdiagnosed. There is an urgent need for a noninvasive, rapid and accurate biomarker for distinguishing LC from TB.
METHODS:
Lung cancer are malignant tumors with high incidence and mortality rates, and a 5-year survival rate that depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis. Screening methods for lung cancer are becoming increasingly diverse, but existing approaches lack sensitivity or specificity for early lesions, ...
Blood plays a vital role in diagnostic medicine by providing essential information for assessing health and diagnosing various conditions. Routine blood tests can reveal important biomarkers that support early diagnosis and timely intervention. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged ...
We aimed to identify specific metabolomic changes and biomarkers for the differential clinical diagnosis of different subtypes of moyamoya disease (MMD). We conducted an pseudotargeted metabolomics analysis and pseudotargeted metabolomics analysis revealed decreased LPC expression in patients wit...
