Respiratory parameters change during post-natal development, but the nature of their changes have not been well-described. The advent of commercially available plethysmographic instruments provided improved repeatability of measurements and standardi...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: In accordance with guidelines, most patients with T1 colorectal cancers (CRC) undergo surgical resection with lymph node dissection, despite the low incidence (∼10%) of metastasis to lymph nodes. To reduce unnecessary surgical rese...
We investigated the narrow-sense heritability of MRI-visible dilated perivascular spaces (dPVS) in healthy young adult twins and nontwin siblings (138 monozygotic, 79 dizygotic twin pairs, and 133 nontwin sibling pairs; 28.7 ± 3.6 years) from the Hum...

Sepsis is the primary cause of burn-related mortality and morbidity. Traditional indicators of sepsis exhibit poor performance when used in this unique population due to their underlying hypermetabolic and inflammatory response following burn injury....
This paper focus on a neural network classification model to estimate the association among gender, race, BMI, age, smoking, kidney disease and diabetes in hypertensive patients. It also shows that artificial neural network techniques applied to larg...
In voice research and clinical assessment, many objective parameters are in use. However, there is no commonly used set of parameters that reflect certain voice disorders, such as functional dysphonia (FD); i.e. disorders with no visible anatomical c...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the differential diagnostic performance of a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning nomogram (DLN) in identifying tuberculous granuloma (TBG) and lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) presenting as solitary solid pulmonary nodules (...
