PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to better characterize the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients diagnosed with Immune checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) pneumonitis and propose predictive models.
OBJECTIVES: The pairing of immunotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown promise. By combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy, the synergistic effects of these modalities not only bol...

Medical image analysis has witnessed a paradigm shift with the advent of artificial intelligence, particularly the application of Vision Transformers (ViTs). In this study, we leverage the unique attention mechanisms of ViTs to enhance the representa...
Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have achieved state-of-the-art performance in medical image classification and are increasingly being used for disease diagnosis. However, these models are quite complex and that necessitates the need to reduce the model co...
BACKGROUND: Hip fractures have become a significant health concern, particularly among super-aged patients, who were at a high risk of postoperative pneumonia due to their frailty and the presence of multiple comorbidities. This study aims to establi...
BACKGROUND: Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia (SCAP) is a serious global health issue with high incidence and mortality rates. In recent years, the role of biomarkers such as Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) and Milk Fat Globule-Epidermal Gro...
PURPOSE: Primary barriers to application of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy for cancer include severe side effects (such as potentially life threatening pneumonitis [PN]), which can cause the discontinuation of treatment. Predicting which p...
BACKGROUND: Severe pneumonia has a poor prognosis and high mortality. Current severity scores such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), have limited ability to help clinicians i...
This study investigated and validated all-cause in-hospital death prediction models for hospitalized pneumonia patients based on large-scale clinical data, including diagnoses, medication prescriptions, and laboratory test codes. Feature selection wa...
INTRODUCTION: Pneumonia is the leading cause of child morbidity and mortality and accounts for 5.6 million under-five child deaths. Pneumonia has a significant impact on the quality of life, the country's economy, and the survival of children. Theref...
