BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...
Pain assessment in clinical practice largely relies on patient-reported subjectivity. Although previous studies using fMRI and EEG have attempted objective pain evaluation, their focus has been limited to resting conditions. This study aimed to class...
The current situation in the use of AI-driven technologies in education has seen an unprecedented rise, however, the impact of these technologies from the perspective of ethical issues is largely unknown. The aim of the research is to provide a clear...
Steatotic liver disease (SLD), formerly named fatty liver disease, has a prevalence estimated at 30-38% in adults. Detection of SLD is important, since prompt initiation of treatment can stop disease progression, lead to a reduction in adverse outcom...
We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of 408 patients diagnosed with onychomycosis who attended three tertiary care Spanish hospitals. The study was conducted to assess the clinical characteristics and outcomes of onychomycosis patients u...
BACKGROUND: Depression is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although common, it remains difficult to diagnose due to its heterogeneous symptomatology. Mental health questionnaires are currently the most used assessm...
Exploring the influencing factors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and summarizing countermeasures is of great significance for effectively addressing potential public health crises. Based on survey data from China, we employed a Gradient Boosting Decis...

Past traumatic experiences shape neural responses to future stress, but the mechanisms underlying this dynamic interaction remain unclear. Here, we assessed how trauma-related brain networks respond to current acute stress in real time. Using a machi...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop and validate a multi-temporal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based delta-radiomics model to accurately predict severe acute radiation enteritis risk in patients undergoing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for ...
OBJECTIVES: Radiation-induced xerostomia is a common sequela in patients who undergo head and neck radiation therapy. This study aims to develop a three-dimensional deep learning model to predict xerostomia by fusing data from the gross tumor volume ...
