BACKGROUND: Androgen-deprivation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Corticosteroids and estrogens are also useful agents in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, oral estrogens are associated with thr...
PURPOSE: In this study, we aimed to develop a novel prediction model to identify patients in need of a non-contrast head CT exam during emergency department (ED) triage.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the performance of methodologies that include machine learning (ML) algorithms to estimate average treatment effects under the assumption of exogeneity (selection on observables).
Routine blood test results are assumed to contain much more information than is usually recognised even by the most experienced clinicians. Using routine blood tests from 15,176 neurological patients we built a machine learning predictive model for t...

Neurological patients with apraxia of pantomime provide us with a unique opportunity to study the neural correlates of higher-order motor function. Previous studies using lesion-behaviour mapping methods led to inconsistent anatomical results, report...
BACKGROUND: Upper gastrointestinal cancers (including oesophageal cancer and gastric cancer) are the most common cancers worldwide. Artificial intelligence platforms using deep learning algorithms have made remarkable progress in medical imaging but ...
BACKGROUND: For robots to be effectively used in health applications, they need to display appropriate social behaviors. A fundamental requirement in all social interactions is the ability to engage, maintain, and demonstrate attention. Attentional b...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: It is necessary to establish universal methods for endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, such as computer-aided diagnosis. In the present study, we propose a multistage diagnosis algorithm for HP infection.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diagnosing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) depends on individual physician expertise and may be subject to interobserver variability. Therefore, we developed a computerized image-analysis system to detect and differentia...
