Ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for breast tumors: current status and future perspectives.

Ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive therapy for both benign and malignant breast tumors. This review comprehensively examines the current clinical status, technical principles, and therapeutic outcomes of US-guided MWA in breast tumor management. We discuss the biophysical mechanisms of MWA, its advantages over other ablation techniques-suc...

Artificial Intelligence-Electrocardiography to Predict Incident Atrial Fibrillation and Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

BACKGROUND: Incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is common following kidney transplantation (KTx) and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Artificial intelligence electrocardiography (AI-ECG) algorithms have demonstrated efficacy in predicting risk of new-onset AF in the general population, however their prognostic value in KTx recipients is relatively unknown. METHODS: Retrospective analysis ...
