INTRODUCTION: Water-only fasting for one day or more may provide health benefits independent of weight loss. Human growth hormone (HGH) may play a key role in multiple fasting-triggered mechanisms. Whether HGH changes during fasting are independent o...

OBJECTIVE: This study introduces a machine learning approach to automate muscle ultrasound analysis, aiming to improve objectivity and efficiency in segmentation, classification, and Heckmatt grading.
BACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) often struggle to fully capture the nuanced preferences and clinical judgement of radiologists in medical report summarization even when fine-tuned on massive medical reports. This could lead to the generated ...
BACKGROUND: Orthostatic hypotension can occur during acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and subsequently persist. We investigated whether a gait rehabilitation robot combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) stabilizes hemodynamics during ort...
The degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine is the common cause of neurological and physical dysfunctions and chronic disability of patients, which can be stratified into single-(e.g., disc herniation, prolapse, or bulge) and com...
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis is a leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). The rapid development of metabolomic technologies has enabled the capture of metabolic changes related to the progression of cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are prevalent in the elderly, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. Differentiating acute from chronic VCFs is vital for treatment planning, but MRI, the gold standard, is inaccessible for some. Ho...
Asthma diagnosis poses challenges due to underreporting of symptoms, misdiagnoses, and limitations in existing diagnostic tests. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising avenue for addressing these challenges by leveraging demographic and clinical da...
