This paper considers the problems of modeling and predicting a long-term and "blurry" relapse that occurs after a medical act, such as a surgery. We do not consider a short-term complication related to the act itself, but a long-term relapse that cli...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but many experience AF recurrence and require repeat ablation procedures. The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate a m...
Specimen pathology findings collectively impact the long-term outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Since seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) is an important independent predictor of biochemical recurrence (BCR), this study was designed ...

OBJECT: Ischemic stroke readmission within 90 days of hospital discharge is an important quality of care metric. The readmission rates of ischemic stroke patients are usually higher than those of patients with other chronic diseases. Our aim was to i...
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in humans. Electroencephalogram is a prevalent tool for diagnosing the epileptic seizure activity in clinical, which provides valuable information for understanding the physiological mechanisms behind...
BACKGROUND: We designed a deep learning model for assessing F-FDG PET/CT for early prediction of local and distant failures for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
BACKGROUND: Establishing epidemiological models and conducting predictions seems to be useful for the prevention and control of human brucellosis. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models can capture the long-term trends and the period...
The Cox proportional hazards model commonly used to evaluate prognostic variables in survival of cancer patients may be too simplistic to properly predict a cancer patient's outcome since it assumes that the outcome is a linear combination of covaria...
BACKGROUND: No data exist on comparisons of efficacy, safety, and recurrence risk factors of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using robotic magnetic navigation system (MNS), respectively.
