Health shocks and health behavior: a long-term perspective.

The European journal of health economics : HEPAC : health economics in prevention and care
Several empirical papers suggest that individuals improve health-related behaviors in response to adverse shocks to physical health. However, little evidence exists regarding the questions of (i) how long-lasting these behavioral responses are and (i...

Thigh muscle index as a valuable prognostic marker in middle-aged male patients undergoing liver transplantation.

Liver transplantation : official publication of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Liver Transplantation Society
In liver transplantation (LT), determining the optimal recipients is crucial, and the MELD score has been used for this purpose. However, the MELD score does not reflect functional status, leading to the evaluation of sarcopenia. While the L3 skeleta...

Evaluating artificial intelligence for a focal nodular hyperplasia diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging: preliminary findings.

Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey)
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare its performance with that of radiologists.

Multidisciplinary Consensus Prostate Contours on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Educational Atlas and Reference Standard for Artificial Intelligence Benchmarking.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for prostate segmentation is challenging because ground truth is lacking. We aimed to: (1) create a reference standard data set with precise prostate contours by expert consensus, and (2)...

Using deep learning to enhance reporting efficiency and accuracy in degenerative cervical spine MRI.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Cervical spine MRI is essential for evaluating degenerative cervical spondylosis (DCS) but is time-consuming to report and subject to interobserver variability. The integration of artificial intelligence in medical imaging offers ...

Toward a Refined PI-RADS: The Feasibility and Limitations of More Informative Metrics in Reviewing MRI Scans.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
The Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) is a widely-adopted framework for assessing prostate cancer risk using multiparametric MRI. However, as advancements in imaging and data analytics emerge, PI-RADS faces pressure to integrate no...

Validation of a cancer population derived AKI machine learning algorithm in a general critical care scenario.

Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico
PURPOSE: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is the sudden onset of kidney damage. This damage usually comes without warning and can lead to increased mortality and inpatient costs and is of particular significance to patients undergoing cancer treatment. In p...

Interpretable machine learning-based insights into early-life endocrine disruptor exposure and small vulnerable newborns.

Journal of hazardous materials
Early-life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may contribute to small vulnerable newborns, including conditions such as being small for gestational age (SGA) and preterm birth (PTB), yet evidence remains limited. This study, which is b...

Predicting quality of life of patients after treatment for spinal metastatic disease: development and internal evaluation.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: When treating spinal metastases in a palliative setting, maintaining or enhancing quality of life (QoL) is the primary therapeutic objective. Clinicians tailor their treatment strategy by weighing the QoL benefits against expected...
