BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) plays key roles in controlling cardiac metabolism and function. Myocardial energy expenditure (MEE) can reflect myocardial energy metabolism and cardiac function. Wh...
In BriefAuthors of this study analyzed hospital readmissions following laminectomy and developed predictive models to identify readmitted patients with an accuracy >95% when using all variables and >79% when using only predischarge variables. A model...

BACKGROUND: Mutation of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene and co-deletion on chromosome 1p/19q is becoming increasingly relevant for the evaluation of clinical outcome in glioma. Among the imaging parameters, contrast enhancement (CE) in WHO II...
IMPORTANCE: Despite data aggregation and removal of protected health information, there is concern that deidentified physical activity (PA) data collected from wearable devices can be reidentified. Organizations collecting or distributing such data s...
