BACKGROUND: Inflammation-related biomarkers, such as systemic inflammation score (SIS) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), are associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. However, the combined role of SIS, NLR, and clinicopathological factors in ...
BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of first-ever strokes have risen sharply, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU). Emerging surrogate for insulin resistance, triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), has been linked to stroke prognosis. We aims t...
MAIN OBJECTIVES: We aimed at comparing intratumoral and peritumoral deep learning, radiomics, and fusion models in predicting KRAS mutations in rectal cancer using endorectal ultrasound imaging.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, play a vital role in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Their discovery has profoundly impacted therapeutic strategies, particularly in cancer treatment, where RNA thera...
INTRODUCTION: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignancy of the bone that mainly afflicts younger individuals. Despite existing treatment approaches, patients with metastatic or recurrent disease generally face poor prognoses. A greater understanding of the t...
BACKGROUND: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) ranks as the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its early detection poses considerable challenges. Current prognostic indicators, including alpha-fetoprotein, have notable limitati...
BACKGROUND: Several studies indicate that smoking is one of the major risk factors for bladder cancer. Nicotine and its metabolites, the main components of tobacco, have been found to be strongly linked to the occurrence and progression of bladder ca...
BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GIAI) is a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction caused by long-term use of exogenous steroids. Adrenal crisis (AC) is an acute complication of GIAI and one of the reasons for ...
BACKGROUND: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly progressive and fatal prion disease with significant public health implications. Survival is heterogenous, posing challenges for prognostication and care planning. We developed a surv...
Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor with different clinicopathological and molecular characteristics. Due to its nonspecific early symptoms, the majority of patients are diagnosed with local or extensive metastasis, severely affecting treatment and p...
