INTRODUCTION: Acute mortality from carbon monoxide poisoning is 1-3%. The long-term mortality risk of survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning is doubled compared to age-matched controls. Cardiac involvement also increases mortality risk. We built a cl...
BACKGROUND: Robotic donor nephrectomy (RDN) has emerged as a safe alternate to laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN), offering improved visualization, instrument dexterity and ergonomics. There is still concern about how to safely transition from LDN ...

BACKGROUND: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI commonly outperforms diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in breast cancer discrimination. However, the side effects of contrast agents limit the use of DCE-MRI, particularly in patients with chronic kidney dise...
BACKGROUND: Pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has demonstrated a strong correlation to improved survival in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, pCR rates to NAC are less than 30%, depending on the BC subtype. Ea...
PURPOSE: Inpatient mortality is an important variable in epidemiology studies using claims data. In 2016, MarketScan data began obscuring specific hospital discharge status types for patient privacy, including inpatient deaths, by setting the values ...
Robot-assisted laparoscopy (RALP), conventional laparoscopy (LP), and balloon dilation (BD) have all been identified as common treatments for benign ureteral stricture (BUS). The purpose of the research would be to compare the safety and efficacy di...
Predicting clinical deterioration in COVID-19 patients remains a challenging task in the Emergency Department (ED). To address this aim, we developed an artificial neural network using textual (e.g. patient history) and tabular (e.g. laboratory value...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has a heavy health-related burden on patients and the healthcare system. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective in treating OSA, but adherence to it is often inadequate. A promising solution is to detect...
