Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure in Pregnant Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B: A Retrospective Observational Case Series Study

Background and Aims.Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is common in patients with end-stage liver disease and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) or hepatitis B virus- (HBV-) related cirrhosis.To date, no uniform definition and management strategy are available for ACLF.Although a considerable number of studies on ACLF has been published, there are few re

A new method for species identification via protein-coding and non-coding DNA barcodes by combining machine learning with bioinformatic methods.

Species identification via DNA barcodes is contributing greatly to current bioinventory efforts.The initial, and widely accepted, proposal was to use the protein-coding cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region as the standard barcode for animals, but recently non-coding internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes read more have been proposed as cand
