Assessing the Reliability of MRI and CT Scans for Liver Volume Estimation in Patients Undergoing Liver Transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly used to measure organ volumes, but accuracy has not been methodically confirmed. This research seeks to fill this gap by comparing preoperative MRI and CT for liver volumetric characterization to surgical specimen weights as a reference standard. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we retrospectively enrolled...

Zwitterionic Lipid Nanotherapeutics from Mulberry for Oral Treatment of Diabetic Colitis.

Diabetic colitis is a severe gastrointestinal complication of type 2 diabetes, which presents the key pathophysiological hallmarks of hyperglycemia, intestinal barrier disruption, immune dysregulation, and microbial metabolic imbalance, posing significant therapeutic challenges in clinical practice. Here, we leveraged artificial intelligence to identify the therapeutic potential of 1-deoxynojirimy...

Percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy in patients with lumbar disc herniation: risk factors and thresholds for adverse outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) is a common surgical technique for lumbar disc herniation (LDH), but the risk facto...

Identification of PTPRR gene associated with cirrhosis and sarcopenia based on bioinformatics and machine learning.

BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis and sarcopenia frequently coexist and are associated with poor clinical outcomes; however, their shared genetic basis remains in...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Shared Lipid Metabolism in Chronic Hepatitis B and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Using Weighted Gene Expression Network Analysis.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) frequently coexist, and lipid metabolic dysregulation may represent a shared b...

Single-cell and bulk omics uncover fibroblast heterogeneity and HSPH1 as a key driver in Barrett's esophagus to esophageal adenocarcinoma progression.

BACKGROUND: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, often evolving from Barrett's esophagus (BE). Under...

Dynamic machine learning model integrating resting energy expenditure for predicting postoperative complications after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

PURPOSE: To investigate whether perioperative resting energy expenditure (REE) dynamics improve prediction of postoperative complications after gastre...

STAID: A Self-Refining Deep Learning Framework for Spatial Cell-Type Deconvolution with Biologically Informed Modeling.

Spatial transcriptomics provides high-throughput measurement of gene expression while retaining spatial context; however, inferring accurate cell-type...

Development of a machine learning-based prognostic prediction model and a web-based tool for pediatric hepatoblastoma: a Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database study.

BACKGROUND: Prognostic evaluation of pediatric hepatoblastoma (HB) remains challenging due to the low accuracy of traditional risk stratification mode...

Clinician engagement shapes the impact of AI-based ECG screening for chronic liver disease in primary care.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based screening tools show promise for early identification of chronic liver disease (CLD), yet their effectiveness in re...

A human-AI collaborative workflow for improved gross tumor volume delineation in esophageal cancer radiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer tumors exhibit complex and variable distribution. Due to differences in clinical experience, junior oncologists often sh...

Exploring the prognostic role of senescence-related genes in gastric cancer through multi-omics integration and machine learning.

Cellular senescence plays a context-dependent role in gastric cancer (GC), functioning both through tumor-suppressive arrest and the tumor-promoting s...

Deep learning based on CD3 histological slides for prediction of colon cancer outcome: analysis of three international stage III colon cancer cohorts.

Prognostic stratification in stage III colon cancer remains poor, despite treatment advances. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, particularly CD3+ T cell...

Molecular basis of precision nutrition: Food components, microbiome-derived metabolites, and multi-omics modeling.

Metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver disease, reflect multifactorial interactions among diet, ...

Development of Models for Predicting the 7-Month Risk of Venous Thromboembolism and Clinically Relevant Bleeding in Ambulatory Patients with Cancer: Analysis from the AVERT Trial.

BACKGROUND: Patients with cancer are at elevated risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). While primary thromboprophylaxis reduces VTE incidence, it also...
