BACKGROUND: Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is the leading cause of mortality in patients undergoing hepatectomy. However, practical models for accurately predicting the risk of PHLF are lacking. This study aimed to develop precise prediction mo...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a decreased glomerular filtration rate or renal injury (especially proteinuria) for at least 3 months. The early detection and treatment of CKD, a major global public health concern, before...
BACKGROUND: Significant variability in outcomes after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation emphasize the importance of accurately assessing patients' risk before surgery. This study assesses the Machine Learning Assessment of Risk and E...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has made significant advancements in the field of digital pathology, and the integration of multiple models has further improved accuracy. In this study, we aimed to construct a combined prognostic model using deep learning-...
PM bound mercury (PBM) in the atmosphere is a major component of total mercury, which is a pollutant of global concern and a potent neurotoxicant when converted to methylmercury. Despite its importance, comprehensive macroanalyses of PBM on large sca...
