BACKGROUND: Although cancer prognosis is most commonly estimated by tumor stage, survival is multifactorial. Our objective was to develop an American College of Surgeons "Biliary Tract Cancer Survival Calculator" prototype using machine learning to g...
OBJECTIVE: This study on the aged population in China first used a large-scale longitudinal survey database to explore how different life factors affect their ability to engage in daily activities. We select and integrate multiple machine models to o...
BACKGROUND: The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains heavy. Glycaemic control is important in the AF management. Glycaemic variability (GV), an emerging marker of glycaemic control, is associated with unfavourab...
BACKGROUND: The intake of dietary antioxidants and glycolipid metabolism are closely related to chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly among individuals with abdominal obesity. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect of multiple comorbid risk factors...
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, leads to progressive dementia, which impairs decision-making, problem-solving, and communication. While there is no cure, early detection can facilitate treatments to slow its progress...
PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL) methods for detecting large vessel occlusion (LVO) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) show promise, but the effect of computed tomography angiography (CTA) image quality on DL performance is unclear. Our study investigates the...
BACKGROUND: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is pivotal for analyzing neurodegenerative diseases. However, accurate hippocampal segmentation remains a challenge.
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is strongly associated with slowly progressive hippocampal atrophy. Elucidating the relationships between local morphometric changes and disease status for early diagnosis could be aided by machine learning algori...

OBJECTIVE: Blood DNA methylation (DNAm) alterations have been widely reported in the onset and progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, DNAm is underutilized as a diagnostic biomarker for these diseases. W...
BACKGROUND: Population aging affects society, with a profound impact on daily activities for those of a low socioeconomic status and with motor impairments. Social assistive robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies can improve older adults' well-bei...
