Artificial Intelligence for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Diseases Using Endoscopic Ultrasonography.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being applied to medical imaging; however, the evidence base for endoscopic ultrasonography-based AI (EUS-AI) remains limited. We conducted a structured literature search (PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) for studies on AI for the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases using EUS images. Overall, 1 detection and 17 classifications of pancreatic tumors, 4 c...

Development of a new disseminated intravascular coagulation score tailored for patients with chronic liver disease: a prospective observational study.

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in patients with chronic liver disease is challenging because cirrhosis-related hemostatic abnormalities mimic DIC laboratory features, leading to frequent overdiagnosis using conventional DIC scoring systems. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of existing DIC scores in cirrhotic patients and develop a tailor...

Marker-less Body Surface Registration with 3D imaging for Percutaneous Intervention with Smartphone Augmented Reality in Phantoms and in vivo.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of automatic surface tracking registration with a smartphone augmented reality (AR) guidance system for percutaneous...

Artificial Intelligence-Based Body Composition Analysis Reveals Sex-Specific Prognostic Markers and Their Clinical Value in Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Conventional body composition assessment fails to capture its multidimensional complexity in gastric cancer (GC). This study aime...

Organ-Specific Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Subtypes Across the Digestive System Linked to Cancer Hallmarks.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are major stromal components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and play diverse roles in gastrointestinal (GI) ...

Interpretable machine learning model for predicting operative difficulty in robotic total mesorectal excision for mid-low rectal cancer.

Precise preoperative prediction of surgical complexity in robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (R-TME) is essential for optimizing surgical strate...

Liver Nodule Anomaly Detection Using Ultra-sound Radiofrequency Signals and Variational Autoencoders.

OBJECTIVE: Detection of liver nodules in ultrasound (US) is challenging due to the low visibility in the presence of steatotic and cirrhotic livers. A...

From Bench to Bedside: The Path Toward Real-World Translation for Artificial Intelligence in Pancreatic Cancer Detection.

Patients with pancreatic cancer have low survival rates, largely because patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Current strategies for early det...

An artificial intelligence model for prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma risk in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still occurs in patients with hepatitis C who achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) after direct-acting antiviral...

Unsupervised Cross-Modality MR Image Segmentation via Prompt-Driven Foundation Model.

Obtaining pixel-level expert annotations is expensive and labor-intensive in the medical imaging field, especially for multi-modality imaging data lik...

Systemic therapies for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have expanded considerably with the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkp...

LLM Chatbot Integration With Inventory Systems for Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Services: A Systematic Review.

BACKGROUND: Generally, gastroenterology and digestive endoscopy units commonly face constraints. It may be due to a lack of equipment, poor scheduling...

Exploring the Lung-Liver Axis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

The liver's contribution to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathogenesis remains unclear. We hypothesized that the liver promotes inflammatory i...
