Application of artificial intelligence in diagnosis of osteoporosis using medical images: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a potentially reliable assistant in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. This meta-analysis aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the AI-based systems using medical images. We searched PubMed and Web of Science from inception to June 15, 2020, for eligible articles that applied AI approaches to diagnosing osteoporosis using medical images. Quality and bias of the incl...

Bone strain index as a predictor of further vertebral fracture in osteoporotic women: An artificial intelligence-based analysis.

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic disease of high prevalence and incidence, leading to bone fractures burdened by high mortality and disability, mainly when several subsequent fractures occur. A fragility fracture predictive model, Artificial Intelligence-based, to identify dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) variables able to characterise those patients who are prone to further fractures ca...

Tacrolimus Exposure Prediction Using Machine Learning.

The aim of this work is to estimate the area-under the blood concentration curve of tacrolimus (TAC) following b.i.d. or q.d. dosing in organ transpla...

Robotic approach for partial adrenalectomy.

Although safe and feasible, partial adrenalectomy is not a widespread procedure. Endorsement of robotic technologies and fluorescence techniques in ad...

Clinical Case Report: Dissociation of Clinical Course of Coexisting Autoimmune Hepatitis and Graves Disease.

OBJECTIVE: Concurrent autoimmune disorders, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), with Graves disease have been reported. Glucocorticoids can simultan...

Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20-mediated dermal spreading activity in mice is not altered by steroids, antihistamines, or salicylic acid.

OBJECTIVES: Drug-drug interaction studies for hyaluronidase safety assessments have evaluated only animal-derived enzyme preparations. We therefore se...

Tualang honey versus steroid impregnated nasal dressing following endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVES: Recurrence rate of nasal polyps is high following endoscopic sinus surgery. To improve the surgical outcome, steroid impregnated nasal dre...

Bone Mineral Density and Content Among Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Comparative Study.

INTRODUCTION: Some studies indicate an association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and osteoporosis. This case-control study examined the associ...

Comparison of Different Dosages and Volumes of Triamcinolone in the Treatment of Stenosing Tenosynovitis: A Prospective, Blinded, Randomized Trial.

BACKGROUND: Stenosing tenosynovitis is a condition due to a size mismatch between the flexor tendons and the first annular pulley. Corticosteroid inje...

Deep Learning for Osteoporosis Classification Using Hip Radiographs and Patient Clinical Covariates.

This study considers the use of deep learning to diagnose osteoporosis from hip radiographs, and whether adding clinical data improves diagnostic perf...

Circulating Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Signature for Identifying Organ Involvement and Response to Glucocorticoid in Adult-Onset Still's Disease: A Machine Learning Study.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an autoinflammatory disease with multisystem involvement. Early identification of patients with severe complicat...

Comprehensive evaluation of the combined extracts of Epimedii Folium and Ligustri Lucidi Fructus for PMOP in ovariectomized rats based on MLP-ANN methods.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Kidney deficiency is the main pathogenesis of osteoporosis based on the theory of "kidney governing bones" in traditio...

A Comprehensive Analysis of MicroRNAs in Human Osteoporosis.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNA molecules that control gene expression in various processes, such as cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and bone...

Deep Learning With Electronic Health Records for Short-Term Fracture Risk Identification: Crystal Bone Algorithm Development and Validation.

BACKGROUND: Fractures as a result of osteoporosis and low bone mass are common and give rise to significant clinical, personal, and economic burden. E...

Opportunistic osteoporosis screening in multi-detector CT images using deep convolutional neural networks.
