Maternal and umbilical cord plasma purine concentrations after oral carbohydrate loading prior to elective Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intake of oral carbohydrates versus standard preoperative fasting prior to elective cesarean delivery on plasma purine levels (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) in...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...

A correlational study of plasma galectin-3 as a potential predictive marker of postoperative delirium in patients with acute aortic dissection.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to demonstrate whether plasma galectin-3 could predict the development of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). Prospective, observational study. Cardiac surgery intensive care unit. Consecutive...

Promethazine for nausea and vomiting prevention after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) represent significant concerns for patients undergoing surgical procedures, as these symptoms greatly impact their postoperative experience. Among female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, the incidence...

Physiological comparison of noninvasive ventilation and high-flow nasal oxygen on inspiratory efforts and tidal volumes after extubation: a randomized crossover trial.

Critical care (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Extubation failure leading to reintubation is associated with high mortality. In patients at high-risk of extubation failure, clinical practice guidelines recommend prophylactic non-invasive ventilation (NIV) over high-flow nasal oxygen (...

Interpretable machine learning model for predicting post-hepatectomy liver failure in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Scientific reports
Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a severe complication following liver surgery. We aimed to develop a novel, interpretable machine learning (ML) model to predict PHLF. We enrolled 312 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent hepa...

Utilizing explainable machine learning for progression-free survival prediction in high-grade serous ovarian cancer: insights from a prospective cohort study.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) remains one of the most challenging gynecological malignancies, with over 70% of ovarian cancer patients ultimately experiencing disease progression. The current prognostic tools for progression-fr...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Cognitive Decline in Older Adults From the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey: Model Development and Validation Study.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment, indicative of Alzheimer disease and other forms of dementia, significantly deteriorates the quality of life of older adult populations and imposes considerable burdens on families and health care systems worldwide. T...

Clinical Validation of a Noninvasive Multi-Omics Method for Multicancer Early Detection in Retrospective and Prospective Cohorts.

The Journal of molecular diagnostics : JMD
Recent studies highlight the promise of blood-based multicancer early detection (MCED) tests for identifying asymptomatic patients with cancer. However, most focus on a single cancer hallmark, thus limiting effectiveness because of cancer's heterogen...
