To identify the symptom clusters of early-stage poststroke depression (PSD) and provide an in-depth understanding of the symptoms. A mixed-methods study with a convenient sampling method was used. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey in 231 stroke patients and semi-structured interviews in 14 stroke patients were conducted in the neurological department of a comprehensive hospital in Southeast China. Data from the questionnaire survey were analysed through descriptive and exploratory factor analyses; data from the semi-structured interview were transcribed verbatim and analysed through inductive content analysis. This study adheres to the GRAMMS checklist. Exploratory factor analysis revealed six symptom clusters of early-stage PSDthat accounted for an ideal variance in PSD nervous, wakefulness, emotional, dull, guilt and low mood. Further, inductive content analysis revealed five themes that were like the above symptom clusters, except for the dull symptom cluster.

Such algorithms receive a gene network and nodes' activity scores as input and report subnetworks that show significant over-representation of accrued activity signal ("active modules"), thus representing biological processes that presumably play key roles in the analyzed conditions. Here, we systematically evaluated six popular AMI methods on gene expression and GWAS data. We observed that GO terms enriched in modules detected on the real data were often also enriched on modules found on randomly permuted data. This indicated that AMI methods frequently report modules that are not specific to the biological context measured by the analyzed omics dataset. To tackle this bias, we designed a permutation-based method that empirically evaluates GO terms reported by AMI methods. We used the method to fashion five novel AMI performance criteria. Last, we developed DOMINO, a novel AMI algorithm, that outperformed the other six algorithms in extensive testing on GE and GWAS data. Software is available at https//github.com/Shamir-Lab. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is usually associated with respiratory manifestations including inspiratory muscle weakness which affects exercise capacity. The present study aimed to determine the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on inspiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This was a randomized controlled trial in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with no previous cardiopulmonary or neuromuscular diseases. Patients had no back pain. Patients were randomized into interventional or placebo groups. Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and six-minute walking test (6MWT) were measured at baseline and 8 weeks post incremental inspiratory muscle training. At baseline, interventional and placebo groups were similar in age, body mass index, sex inspiratory muscle strength, and exercise capacity. After 8 weeks of incremental inspiratory muscle training at 40% of MIP, the interventional group had a significant increase in the SNIP (mean difference 18.5 ± 5.30 cm H2O vs 2.8 ± 4.8 cm H2O) and MIP (mean difference 19.4 ± 4.3 Vs 5.4 ± 3.6 cm H2O) compared to the placebo group, respectively. The interventional group showed improvement in the 6MWT (mean difference 70 ± 29 m vs 34 ± 24 m) compared to the placebo group, P < .05. Incremental inspiratory muscle training increased the diaphragm strength in patients with T2DM and improved exercise capacity. Incr
