IMPORTANCE: Conventional segmentation of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is prone to errors that may affect the accuracy of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scans in detecting glaucomatous damage.
The goal of this study was to develop a semi-automated prediction approach of target shifts using machine learning architecture (MLA) with anatomical features for prostate radiotherapy. Our hypothesis was that anatomical features between planning com...

OBJECTIVES: A superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumor (SNADET) is defined as a mucosal or submucosal sporadic tumor of the duodenum that does not arise from the papilla of Vater. SNADETs rarely metastasize to the lymph nodes, and most can ...
PURPOSE: For patients with early-stage breast cancer, predicting the risk of metastatic relapse is of crucial importance. Existing predictive models rely on agnostic survival analysis statistical tools (eg, Cox regression). Here we define and evaluat...

OBJECTIVE: Clinical interventions and death in the intensive care unit (ICU) depend on complex patterns in patients' longitudinal data. We aim to anticipate these events earlier and more consistently so that staff can consider preemptive action.
OBJECTIVES: To use a Machine Learning (ML) approach to compare Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) in participants of a longitudinal study who developed dementia and those who did not.

INTRODUCTION: The World Health Organization has estimated that 12 million deaths occur worldwide, every year due to Heart diseases. Half the deaths in the developed countries are due to cardiovascular diseases. The early prognosis of cardiovascular d...
IMPORTANCE: Although the central visual field (VF) in end-stage glaucoma may substantially vary among patients, structure-function studies and quality-of-life assessments are impeded by the lack of appropriate characterization of end-stage VF loss.
