BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of diabetes has been rising rapidly in recent years, leading to an increase in patients experiencing hyperglycemic crises like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). Patients with imp...

INTRODUCTION: The key drugs of first-line chemotherapy for metastatic esophageal cancer are 5-FU and cisplatin(CF). However, the treatment strategy for unfit patients of CF regimen remains controversial.
AIM: Predicting progression in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is critical to improving outcomes. We sought to develop/validate a machine-learned, prognostic risk score (KidneyIntelX™) combining electronic health records (EHR) and biomarkers.
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), i.e., gradual decrease in the renal function spanning over a duration of several months to years without any major symptoms, is a life-threatening disease. It progresses in six stages according to the severit...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate delineation of renal regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for the assessment of renal function in pediatric dynamic renal scintigraphy (DRS). The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) model that ...
Differential kidney function assessment is an important part of preoperative evaluation of various urological interventions. It is obtained through dedicated nuclear medical imaging and is not yet implemented through conventional Imaging. We assess...
In clinical practice, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measurement of kidney functioning, is normally calculated using equations, such as the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation. Despite being the most general equation, EKFC, j...
BACKGROUND: Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are widely used in clinical practice but exhibit inherent limitations. On the other side, measuring GFR is time consuming and not available in routine clinical practic...

BACKGROUND: Interest in prediction models, including machine learning (ML) models, based on laboratory data has increased tremendously. Uncertainty in laboratory measurements and predictions based on such data are inherently intertwined. This study d...
PURPOSE: Clinical management of pediatric chronic kidney disease requires estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Currently, eGFR is determined by two endogenous markers measured in blood: serum creatine (SCr) and cystatin C (CysC). Machine ...
