PURPOSE: Pancreatic cancer remains a disease of high mortality despite advanced diagnostic techniques. Mucins (MUC) play crucial roles in carcinogenesis and tumor invasion in pancreatic cancers. MUC1 and MUC4 expression are related to the aggressive ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs), and quality of life (QoL) in stroke rehabilitation. Fifty-one stroke patients randomly assigned to Group 1...
Background Identifying the presence and extent of infarcted brain tissue at baseline plays a crucial role in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Patients with extensive infarction are unlikely to benefit from thrombolysis or t...
Background and Purpose- We aimed to investigate the ability of machine learning (ML) techniques analyzing diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging to identify patients within the reco...
INTRODUCTION: In the United States, 5% of patients represent up to 55% of all health care costs. This study sought to define healthcare utilization patterns among super-utilizers, as well as assess possible variation in patient outcomes.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by a dynamic process of neurocognitive changes from normal cognition to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and progression to dementia. However, not all individuals with MCI develop dementia. Predicting whether ...
