Elimination Disorder
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Elimination disorders all involve the inappropriate elimination of urine or feces and are usually first diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. This group of disorders includes enuresis, the repeated voiding of urine into inappropriate places, and encopresis, the repeated passage of feces into inappropriate places.

- Integrated Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Novel Molecular Signatures for Schizophrenia Characterizationby Tong Ni on November 20, 2024
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a complex psychiatric disorder presenting challenges for characterization. The current study aimed to identify and evaluate disease-responsive essential genes (DREGs) to enhance the molecular characterization of SCZ. RNA-sequencing data from PsychENCODE (536 SCZ patients, 832 controls) and peripheral blood transcriptome data from 144 recruited subjects (59 SCZ patients, 6 non-SCZ psychiatric patients, 79 controls) are analyzed. Shared differential expression genes are...
- Free-water imaging in subcortical gray matter in schizophrenia patients with persistent auditory verbal hallucinationsby Jinguang Li on November 20, 2024
Subcortical gray matter (SGM) is increasingly linked to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, specifically auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). However, few studies have been conducted on the role of extracellular free-water (FW) and white matter microstructural abnormalities in AVHs within the SGM using the free water elimination technique. We conducted a comprehensive investigation of macroscopic volume, FW, and white matter microstructure in the SGM of 60 schizophrenia patients with...
- Quantitative analysis and machine learning-based interpretation of EEG signals in coma and brain-death diagnosisby Boning Li on November 18, 2024
Electroencephalography (EEG) reflects brain activity and is crucial for diagnosing states such as coma and brain-death. However, the clinical interpretation of EEG signals faces challenges due to the patients' faint brain activity and the complexities of the intensive care unit environment, further compounded by the absence of quantified standards for signal analysis. This study developed an improved denoise method tailored to the characteristics of Coma/Brain-Death EEG signals. The spectral...
- Integrated analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk transcriptome data identifies a pyroptosis-associated diagnostic model for Parkinson's diseaseby Lin Wang on November 18, 2024
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an insidious onset. Despite the emphasis on motor symptom-based diagnosis, there remains an unmet clinical need for effective diagnostic approaches during the prodromal phase of PD. Recent advances in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk transcriptomic analyses of PD patients open avenues for identifying potential diagnostic biomarkers. A comprehensive cell trajectory analysis was conducted using...
