Birds, bats and many insects can tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest and deploy them to power flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing muscles, how insects control their wing deployment and retraction remains...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The dosage of daptomycin is usually based on body weight. However, it has been shown that this approach yields too high an exposure in obese patients. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic indexes (PK/PD) have been proposed fo...
BACKGROUND: For hospitalized adults, it is important to initiate the early reintroduction of oral food in accordance with nutrition support team guidelines. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a machine learning-based algorithm that pre...
Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art that provides an adaptive and accessible exercise for older adults with varying functional capacity. While Tai Chi is widely recommended for its physical benefits, wider adoption in at-home practice presents challenge...
Functional mobility tests, such as the L test of functional mobility, are recommended to provide clinicians with information regarding the mobility progress of lower-limb amputees. Smartphone inertial sensors have been used to perform subtask segment...

AIM: Exercise stress ECG is a common diagnostic test for stable coronary artery disease, but its sensitivity and specificity need to be further improved. In this paper, we construct a machine learning model for the prediction of angiographic coronary...
BACKGROUND: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), as a reliable predictive biomarker, plays an important role in guiding immunotherapy of lung cancer. To investigate the value of CT-based deep learning radiomics signature to predict PD-L1 expressio...
Several studies published so far used highly selective image datasets from unclear sources to train computer vision models and that may lead to overestimated results, while those studies conducted in real-life remain scarce. To avoid image selection ...
Our objective was to develop and evaluate the clinical feasibility of deep-learning-based synthetic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DL-SynCCT) in patients designated for nonenhanced CT (NECT). We proposed a weakly supervised learning with the ...
Heart failure (HF) is a significant global public health concern with a high readmission rate, posing a serious threat to the health of the elderly population. While several studies have used machine learning (ML) to develop all-cause readmission ris...
