GlioPredictor: a deep learning model for identification of high-risk adult IDH-mutant glioma towards adjuvant treatment planning.

Identification of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant glioma patients at high risk of early progression is critical for radiotherapy treatment planning. Currently tools to stratify risk of early progression are lacking. We sought to identify a combination of molecular markers that could be used to identify patients who may have a greater need for adjuvant radiation therapy machine learning techn...

Prescription trend and lactic acidosis in patients prescribed metformin before and after the revision of package insert for allowing metformin administration to patients with moderately decreased kidney function based on real-world data from MID-NET in Japan.

INTRODUCTION: This study was conducted to understand the impact of package insert (PI) revision in Japan on 18 June 2019 to allow metformin use for patients with moderately decreased kidney function (30 ≤ estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m).

Improving image quality of triple-low-protocol renal artery CT angiography with deep-learning image reconstruction: a comparative study with standard-dose single-energy and dual-energy CT with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction.
