OBJECTIVE: To identify novel language usage by expert providers predictive of specific vestibular conditions.
BACKGROUND: Interictal epileptiform discharges are an important biomarker for localization of focal epilepsy, especially in patients who undergo chronic intracranial monitoring. Manual detection of these pathophysiological events is cumbersome, but i...
BACKGROUND: The gut-selective nature of vedolizumab has raised questions regarding increased joint pain or arthralgia with its use in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. As arthralgias are seldom coded and thus difficult to study, few studies ...

The intrinsic relationship between fluid volume and open wound size (%) has not been previously examined. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate whether open wound size can be predicted from fluid volume plus other significant factors over...
AIMS: To study the diagnostic performance of the ratio of Duke jeopardy score (DJS) to the minimal lumen diameter (MLD) at coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and machine learning based CT-FFR for differentiating functionally significant...
