Can intraoperative improvement of radial endobronchial ultrasound imaging enhance the diagnostic yield in peripheral pulmonary lesions?

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Data regarding the diagnostic efficacy of radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) findings obtained via transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)/biopsy (TBB) with endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) for peripheral ...

Two birds with one stone: pre-TAVI coronary CT angiography combined with FFR helps screen for coronary stenosis.

BMC medical imaging
OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...

Predicting treatment response in individuals with major depressive disorder using structural MRI-based similarity features.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent mental health condition with significant societal impact. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and machine learning have shown promise in psychiatry, offering insights into brain abno...

The extent of Skeletal muscle wasting in prolonged critical illness and its association with survival: insights from a retrospective single-center study.

BMC anesthesiology
OBJECTIVE: Muscle wasting in critically ill patients, particularly those with prolonged hospitalization, poses a significant challenge to recovery and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to characterize long-term muscle wasting trajectories...

Ambivalent User Needs as a Challenge and Chance for the Design of a Web-Based Intervention for Gaming Disorder: Qualitative Interview Study With Adolescents and Young Adults.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: In Germany, there are still many young people with gaming disorder (GD) who do not use or cannot access existing treatment services. Given the increasing prevalence of internet use disorders and GD, especially among young people in German...

Clinician Attitudes and Perceptions of Point-of-Care Information Resources and Their Integration Into Electronic Health Records: Qualitative Interview Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHRs) are widely used in health care systems across the United States to help clinicians access patient medical histories in one central location. As medical knowledge expands, clinicians are increasingly using ...

Automated landmark-based mid-sagittal plane: reliability for 3-dimensional mandibular asymmetry assessment on head CT scans.

Clinical oral investigations
OBJECTIVE: The determination of the mid-sagittal plane (MSP) on three-dimensional (3D) head imaging is key to the assessment of facial asymmetry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of an automated landmark-based MSP to quantify man...

Development and validation of a predictive model for refracture risk in elderly individuals with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a retrospective study in China.

Aging clinical and experimental research
BACKGROUND: The rising incidence of refractures and associated adverse outcomes among individuals with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures has gained significant attention. Identifying refracture risk is crucial for implementing effective pr...

Retrospective cohort study of infection and risk stratification using 6-year UBT data.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: () infection is a major global health concern, linked to gastric cancer and metabolic disorders. Despite its widespread prevalence, accurate risk stratification remains challenging. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML)-base...

Sex-related differences and associated transcriptional signatures in the brain ventricular system and cerebrospinal fluid development in full-term neonates.

Biology of sex differences
BACKGROUND: The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is known to serve as a unique environment for neurodevelopment, with specific proteins secreted by epithelial cells of the choroid plexus (CP) playing crucial roles in cortical development and cell differenti...
