BACKGROUND & AIMS: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have considerably improved chronic hepatitis C (HCV) treatment; however, follow-up after sustained virological response (SVR) typically neglects the risk of liver-related events (LREs). This study in...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: In this preliminary study, we aimed to develop a deep learning model using ultrasound single view cines that distinguishes between imaging of normal gallbladder, non-urgent cholelithiasis, and acute calculous cholecystitis r...
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 30 % of thyroid nodules yield an indeterminate diagnosis through conventional diagnostic strategies. The aim of this study was to develop machine learning (ML) models capable of identifying papillary thyroid carcinomas using ...
Although there are many sleep-related complaints in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, nocturnal leg cramps have not been adequately and extensively studied. This study fills a significant gap in the literature by determining the ...

BACKGROUND: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the inte...
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common adverse outcome following nephrectomy. The progression from AKI to acute kidney disease (AKD) and subsequently to chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a concern; yet, the predictive mechanisms for the...
BACKGROUND: Salvage radiation therapy (sRT) is often the sole curative option in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. After sRT, we developed and validated a nomogram to predict freedom from biochemical failure.
BACKGROUND: Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) carries a high mortality rate. Current existing risk-evaluation methodologies fall short and improved predictive methods are needed. This study aimed to forecast 30-day mortality in adult HLH patie...
BACKGROUND: Identification of individuals with prediabetes who are at high risk of developing diabetes allows for precise interventions. We aimed to determine the role of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic signature in predicting the ...
