BACKGROUND: Thyroid nodules are frequent in clinical settings, and their diagnosis in adults is growing, with some persons experiencing symptoms. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation can shrink nodules and alleviate discomfort. Because the degree and r...
Over the past several decades, there has been a significant increase in the number of breast cancer patients. Among the four subtypes of breast cancer, Her2-positive breast cancer is one of the most aggressive breast cancers. In this study, we screen...
Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by lymphatic fluid accumulation, primarily affecting the limbs. Its diagnosis is challenging due to symptom overlap with conditions like chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a...
Early and accurate identification of patients at high risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is critical to prevent and improve prognosis potentially. We aimed to develop and validate an explainable prediction model ...
Exposure to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) poses significant health risks, including cancer, endocrine dysregulation, neurological disorders, and reproductive disruption. This study investigates the association between OCP exposure and thyroid dist...
Radiomics refers to the utilization of automated or semi-automated techniques to extract and analyze numerous quantitative features from medical images, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. This study aims t...
Inertial measurement units offer a cost-effective, portable alternative to lab-based motion capture systems. However, measuring joint angles and movement trajectories with inertial measurement units is challenging due to signal drift errors caused by...
BACKGROUND: Serious pulmonary pathologies of infectious, viral, or bacterial origin are accompanied by inflammation and an increase in oxidative stress (OS). In these situations, biological measurements of OS are technically difficult to obtain, and ...
BACKGROUND: Dependent older people or those losing their autonomy are at risk of emergency hospitalization. Digital systems that monitor health remotely could be useful in reducing these visits by detecting worsening health conditions earlier. Howeve...
PURPOSE: To establish a simple and noninvasive screening test for sleep apnea (SA) that imposes less burden on potential patients. The specific objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of past and future single-lead electrocardiogram (...
