BACKGROUND: Preoperative prediction of surgical difficulty in robotic-assisted total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer remains challenging. While pelvic anatomical parameters measured by MRI have been associated with surgical complexity in laparo...
BACKGROUND: Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disorder characterized by the progressive destruction of periodontal tissues. Increasing evidence indicates that the dysregulation of hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) plays a pivota...
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), although less frequent, can lead to serious complications. Our study aimed to assess white matter (WM) tract integrity, identify specific regions of disruption, quantify di...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychiatry in the past 5 years across four domains: screening; outcome prediction; risk and relapse prediction; and psychotherapy.
. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy requires the delineation of gross tumor volumes (GTV) in daily MRI from MRI-linacs. Specialized models have been developed for this task for certain tumors. This study investigated an alternative...

A brain-computer interface (BCI) establishes a pathway for information transmission between a human (or animal) and an external device. It can be used to control devices such as prosthetic limbs and robotic arms, which in turn assist, rehabilitate, a...
Humans can now emulate language in silica-based neural networks, but we remain ignorant about how language emerged in carbon-based neural networks in the first place. This gap represents not merely a scientific blind spot, but a unique opportunity to...
To develop an online quality control (QC) system for accurate assessment of dwell position and dwell time in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, and to investigate the potential of neural networks so as to improve the robustness and stability of the ...

. Endoscopic imaging is vital in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), but its utility is often compromised by specular reflections that obscure important details and hinder diagnostic accuracy. Existing methods to address these reflections face limitati...
Once we learn a reliable gait, we no longer have to consciously contract individual muscles to walk, or think about the fine-grained low-level control of our joints. Instead, we mainly make decisions on where we want to end up, at what pace and throu...
