AGFR-Net: anatomy-guided feature refinement for robust multi-label thoracic disease classification from chest X-rays.

Detecting thoracic diseases from chest X-ray images remains difficult because many abnormalities appear with subtle visual patterns and are often obscured by overlapping anatomical structures. Another major challenge is the highly uneven distribution of disease labels in large chest X-ray datasets. Recent deep learning methods have explored the use of attention mechanisms and anatomical priors, bu...

Circulating multi-omic signature of disease severity and cholangiocarcinoma in primary sclerosing cholangitis.

BACKGROUND: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can progress to cirrhosis or cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), both carrying a poor prognosis. The mechanisms driving disease progression remain poorly understood. We aimed to identify circulating multi-omic signatures linked to PSC severity (alkaline phosphat...
