During the COVID-19 pandemic, West Virginia developed an aggressive SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy which included utilizing pop-up mobile testing in locations anticipated to have near-term increases in SARS-CoV-2 infections. This study describes and com...
Benign ureteroenteric anastomosis strictures (UESs) are one of many critical complications that may cause irreversible disability following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Previous studies have shown that the incidence rates of UES after RA...
Cerebrovascular events (CVE) are among the most feared complications of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). CVE appear difficult to predict due to their multifactorial origin incompletely explained by clinical predictors. We aimed to build...
BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is a major cause of sudden cardiac death in young people and has distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) features. We aimed to develop a deep learning-enabled ECG model for automatic screening for Brugada syndrome to ident...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of cardiac morbidity among women, whose risk factors differ from those in men. We used machine-learning approaches to develop risk- prediction models for incident HF in a cohort of postmenopausal wome...
In this study, we aimed to propose a novel diabetes index for the risk classification based on machine learning techniques with a high accuracy for diabetes mellitus. Upon analyzing their demographic and biochemical data, we classified the 2013-16 Ko...

BACKGROUND: White light endoscopy is a pivotal first-line tool for the detection of gastric neoplasms. However, gastric neoplasms can be missed during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy due to the subtle nature of these lesions and varying skill among ...
This study presents and evaluates the mathematical model to estimate the mean and variance of single-lead ECG signals in sleep apnea syndrome. Our objective is to use the volatility property of the ECG signal for modeling. ECG signal is a stochastic ...
BACKGROUND: Advanced prediction of the daily incidence of COVID-19 can aid policy making on the prevention of disease spread, which can profoundly affect people's livelihood. In previous studies, predictions were investigated for single or several co...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) the causal agent for COVID-19, is a communicable disease spread through close contact. It is known to disproportionately impact certain communities due to both biological susceptibility and...
