This study examines the evolving perspective on semantic processing, which has shifted from the traditional view of an isolated semantic memory system to one that recognizes the involvement of dynamic, distributed neural networks. Recent evidence sup...
INTRODUCTION: "Kidney Stone Calculator" (KSC) helps to plan flexible ureteroscopy, providing the stone volume (SV) and an estimated duration of laser lithotripsy (eLD). eLD is calculated from in vitro ablation rates and SV. KSC's accuracy has been de...
Introduction Assessing male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to Benign outlet obstruction (BOO) remains a challenge in urology due to the limitations of conventional diagnostic methods, which are often invasive, time-consuming, and inefficient...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aort...
Around 1.5 million new cases of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) are diagnosed globally each year (World Health Organization, 2023). Consequently, there is a pressing need for early diagnostic methods for HCV. This study investigates the prognostic accuracy o...
BACKGROUND: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are classified as important endocrine disruptors and persistent organic pollutants; nevertheless, there is no comprehensive investigation to evaluate the association between BFRs and hyperuricemia, and t...
PURPOSE: Leveraging an artificial intelligence system (AI) for glaucoma screening can mitigate the current challenges and provide prompt detection and management crucial in averting irreversible blindness. The study reports the real-world performance...
BACKGROUND: Atypical Parkinsonian Syndromes (APS) form the third largest group of neurodegenerative disorders including Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), and Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS). These conditions are charact...
BACKGROUND: The exact mechanism of graft dysfunction has not been fully clarified. We aimed to explore the causal effects of serum metabolites on graft dysfunction and the mediating role of inflammatory proteins.
The neural mechanisms underlying resting-state cerebral functional activity in bipolar disorder (BD) and the effects of pharmacotherapy on it remain unclear. This study investigated changes in local brain activity in BD patients (BDPs) following trea...
