BACKGROUND: Early screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can reduce mortality caused by non-small-cell lung cancer. However, ∼25% of the 'suspicious' pulmonary nodules identified by LDCT are later confirmed benign through resection surge...
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...
The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing worldwide. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is widely applied with the use of extracted biological cell samples, but current FNA cytology is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and can lead to the risk ...
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: Proteins play a pivotal role in the diverse array of biological processes, making the precise prediction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) sites critical to numerous disciplines including biology, medicine and pharmacy. While deep lear...
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...
