Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, carries a high risk of severe complications. Patients diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) may progress to persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) following a period. We aimed to identify metabo...

The intestinal microflora and metabolites produced by these microbes serve as important regulators of the development of sepsis. Accordingly, this study was designed to systematically explore the relationships between the regulation of septicemia and both the intestinal flora and fecal metabolite...

A discovery-based lipid profiling study of serum samples from a cohort that included patients with clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) stage I, II, III, and IV (n=112) and controls (n=52) was performed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spec...

The routine clinical diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is largely restricted to real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. Given the diagnostic delay and suboptimal sensitivity...

Metabolic Biomarkers of Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia and Cognitive Correlates: Insights from a Machine Learning

A dataset of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements of medicinal plant extracts from 76 species was generated and used for training and validating plant species identification algorithms. Various strategies for data handling and feature space selection were tested. Constrained Tucke...

As sleep loss leads to accidents and impaired safety, a direct metabolic marker would be beneficial for forensic interpretation.

In a sufficiently powered, randomized, controlled, crossover trial under realistic conditions, we examined the salivary metabolome of 20 young men (habitual slee...

Background: Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) poses a significant challenge for patients with colorectal tumor, often resulting in treatment interruption or discontinuation and subsequent treatment failure. Herein, a longitudinal untargeted metabolomic study to reveal the metabolom...

Metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of cancer and provides insights into biomarker discovery. Untargeted 1H NMR metabolomics offers a non-invasive means to identify biomarkers in breast cancer (BC) patients; however, metabolic signatures specific to Nigerian women remain poorly understood. This...
