The prognostic value of the PALBI score for mortality prediction in stroke: an internal and external validation study.

Recent studies show that there's a link between liver problems and how well someone does after having a stroke. The platelet-albumin-bilirubin (palbi) score is a new liver function evaluation method which has been proved useful in predicting hepatic condition. But it is still unknown whether it can predict the prognosis of stroke people. This study aimed to investigate the association between the ...

Environmental PET-microplastic exposure and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: An integrated computational toxicology and multi-omics study.

The escalating severity of global microplastic pollution has triggered significant public health concerns. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a ubiquitous plastic constituent, extensively permeates aquatic systems, food chains, and daily living environments. However, its potential long-term health impacts, particularly its association with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), remain poorly un...

Development and validation of nomogram about conversion from temporary to permanent stoma in rectal cancer based on machine learning and traditional model-does robotic surgery have competitive advantages?

Machine learning prediction of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease in type 2 diabetes: Emphasizing data imputation and feature selection.

Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is common among Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) patients. The coexistence of these conditions increases the ri...

Utility of breath-hold half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo with deep learning-based reconstruction for acquiring fat-suppressed T2-weighted images of the pancreas.

PURPOSE: To determine the best technique for acquiring fat-suppressed T2-weighted images (FS-T2WI) of the pancreas, in terms of acquisition time and i...

Long-term capsaicin intake and gut inflammation: microbial alterations, metabolic mechanisms, and intervention effects.

The effects of capsaicin consumption on gut health and its mechanisms remain uncharacterized. This study integrated human cohort and colonic simulatio...

Familial colorectal cancer: risk factors, screening strategies and personalized medicine.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with approximately 25-30 % of cases exhibiting a familial compo...

Content-state-driven motility switching in an intestine-inspired soft-bodied robot via decentralised oscillator networks.

Adaptive handling of thick or composition-changing fluids is difficult for conventional pumps. In animals, the intestine addresses this challenge by s...

Integrating B-mode ultrasound radiomics and clinical variables to predict 26-week progression-free survival in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma under targeted immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with over 905,700 new cases and 830,200 de...

Comparison of respiratory-gated and breath‑hold accelerated T2-weighted sequences for liver MRI with deep learning reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) of the liver suffers from prolonged scan times and respiratory motion artifacts. Deep learning (DL)-based recon...

Navigated hepatic tumor resection using intraoperative ultrasound imaging.

PURPOSE: This proof-of-concept study evaluates the feasibility and accuracy of an ultrasound-based navigation system for open liver surgery. Unlike mo...

Evaluation of GPT-5 for Esophageal Cancer Staging Using Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Maximum-Intensity Projection Images: Comparative Pilot Study.

BACKGROUND: Accurate esophageal cancer staging relies on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F FDG-PET), but its interpretation is ...

AI-Driven Patient Screening for Clinical Trials in Pancreatic Cancer: The PANCR-AI Pilot Retrospective Comparative Study.

BACKGROUND: Screening for clinical trials is challenging for clinicians due to its time-consuming and repetitive nature. The rise of artificial intell...

Influence of sex differences among endoscopists in gastric cancer and precancerous condition detection rate during EGD in the artificial intelligence era: a retrospective study.

AIMS: This study investigated whether endoscopist sex is associated with the detection of gastric precancerous conditions and neoplasia during esophag...

CT-derived sarcopenia and myosteatosis predict treatment escalation in hospitalized patients with inflammatory Bowel disease.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia and myosteatosis reflect muscle quantity and quality and are linked to adverse outcomes in chronic diseases. Their role in pred...

Artificial intelligence for the prediction of synchronous and metachronous liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. Liver is the most c...

Tumor cell villages define the co-dependency of tumor and microenvironment in liver cancer.

Spatial cellular context is crucial in shaping intratumor heterogeneity. However, understanding how each tumor establishes its unique spatial landscap...

A comparative analysis of data-driven models for breast cancer survival prediction.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women and persists as a societal problem worldwide. It remains a leading cause of cancer a...

Prediction of Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula Occurrence by the Pancreatic Stump Shape and Remnant Pancreatic Volume Measured Using AI-Guided Three-Dimensional Simulation.
