BACKGROUND: Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common surgery-requiring conditions of the spine in the aged population. As elderly patients often present with multiple comorbidities and limited physiological reserve, individualized risk assess...
BACKGROUND: Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a prevalent complication in critically ill patients, marked by symmetrical respiratory and limb muscle weakness, which adversely affects long-term outcomes. Early identification of hi...
Low birthweight (LBW) is a significant health challenge worldwide, as these neonates experience both short- and long-term disabilities. Factors affecting maternal and fetal health during early to mid-pregnancy can greatly influence fetal development....
To enhance thrombolysis eligibility in acute ischemic stroke, we developed a deep learning model to estimate stroke onset within 4.5 h using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. Given the variabilit...
With sepsis remaining a leading cause of mortality, early identification of patients with sepsis and those at high risk of death is a challenge of high socioeconomic importance. Given the potential of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to monitor microcircu...
BACKGROUND: Traditional ocular gaze photograph preprocessing, relying on manual cropping and head tilt correction, is time-consuming and inconsistent, limiting artificial intelligence (AI) model development and clinical application.
BACKGROUND: Accurate fetal growth evaluation is crucial for monitoring fetal health, with crown-rump length (CRL) being the gold standard for estimating gestational age and assessing growth during the first trimester. To enhance CRL evaluation accura...
BACKGROUND: Nursing in palliative medicine combines primary patient care with the special challenges of this medical field (eg, handling the processes of dying, grief, and death). These cause high stress levels and burden on the nursing staff, result...
OBJECTIVE: This prospective study aimed to assess the feasibility of a half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin echo sequence (HASTE) with deep learning (DL) reconstruction for ultrafast imaging of the bladder with reduced susceptibility to motion artifac...
BACKGROUND: The current Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines provide recommendations on timing of administering antibiotics in sepsis patients based on probability of sepsis and presence of shock. However, there have been minimal efforts to str...
