BACKGROUND: Early detection of vulnerable carotid plaques is critical for stroke prevention. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model based on routine blood tests and derived indices to predict plaque vulnerability and assess sex-specific...
Chronic spontaneous urticaria is a common skin disorder with variable treatment responses. Second-generation H1-antihistamines are the first-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria, yet many patients fail to respond to licensed doses. Predic...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...
BACKGROUND: With the aging demographic on the rise, we're seeing a spike in the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD). Our research aims to delve into the connection between plasma bilirubin levels and postoperative delirium, with the goal of cr...
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has significantly impacted cardiology by enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Coronary artery disease continues to be a leading cause of global...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its spatial distribution and structural alterations remain understudied. We aim to develop a shape-aware, AI-based method for automated ...

BACKGROUND: Conservative treatment remains a viable option for selected patients with ectopic pregnancy (EP), but failure may lead to rupture and serious complications. Currently, serum β-hCG is the main predictor for treatment outcomes, yet its accu...
BACKGROUND: Lower pole renal stones (LPS) present unique challenges for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) due to unfavorable anatomical features, often resulting in suboptimal stone-free rates (SFR). Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) of...
