This paper presents an integrated and scalable precision health service for health promotion and chronic disease prevention. Continuous real-time monitoring of lifestyle and environmental factors is implemented by integrating wearable devices, open e...
BACKGROUND: Whole-body imaging has recently been added to large-scale epidemiological studies providing novel opportunities for investigating abdominal organs. However, the segmentation of these organs is required beforehand, which is time consuming,...
Patients with disseminated cancer at higher risk for postoperative mortality see improved outcomes with altered clinical management. Being able to risk stratify patients immediately after their index surgery to flag high risk patients for healthcare ...

PURPOSE: Cohort building is a powerful foundation for improving clinical care, performing biomedical research, recruiting for clinical trials, and many other applications. We set out to build a cohort of all monogenic patients with a definitive causa...
BACKGROUND: Prognosis of nephrotic syndrome has been evaluated based on pathological diagnosis, whereas its clinical course is monitored using objective items and the treatment strategy is largely the same. We examined whether the entire natural hist...
Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) improves the accuracy of bronchoscopy. The possibility of differentiating benign from malignant lesions based on EBUS findings may be useful in making the correct diagnosis. The convolutiona...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the long-term oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) vs. open radical prostatectomy (ORP) in pathologically proven prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion (SVI).
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a common disease and a major public health problem. HF mortality prediction is critical for developing individualized prevention and treatment plans. However, due to their lack of interpretability, most HF mortality ...
