Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research
BACKGROUND: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting approximately 2-3% of the adolescent population. Although exercise-based therapeutic interventions are increasingly employed as non-surgical alternat...

Cost-effectiveness of opportunistic osteoporosis screening using chest radiographs with deep learning in Germany.

Aging clinical and experimental research
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is often underdiagnosed due to limitations in traditional screening methods, leading to missed early intervention opportunities. AI-driven screening using chest radiographs could improve early detection, reduce fracture risk,...

Protocol for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of Mongolia's sugar-sweetened beverages tax using double machine learning.

PloS one
Elevated consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been associated with an increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs), a significant health and economic burden on Mongolia. To address this, the governme...
