OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia not only affects patients' quality of life but also may exacerbate the pathological processes of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers to improve the combined diagnosis and treatment of...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a clinically applicable nomogram for predicting the risk of delirium following hepatectomy.
Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) can lead to improved morbidity and mortality. However, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound, the sole prenatal screening tool, remains limited. Failed prenatal or early newborn detecti...
High-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM) is the gold standard for anorectal functional disorders' evaluation, despite being limited by its accessibility and complex data analysis. The London Protocol and Classification were developed to standardi...

In digital image diagnosis using medical displays, it is crucial to rigorously manage display devices to ensure appropriate image quality and diagnostic safety. The aim of this study was to develop a model for the efficient quality control (QC) of me...
OBJECTIVE: Due to the high global prevalence of silicosis and the ongoing challenges in its diagnosis, this pilot study aims to screen biomarkers from routine blood parameters and develop a multi-biomarker model for its early detection.
PURPOSE: This study assessed the performance of various deep learning models in predicting the postoperative outcomes of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery based on preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
BACKGROUND: Breast adenoid cystic carcinoma (BACC) is a rare subtype of breast cancer that accounts for less than 0.1 % of all cases. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of various treatment approaches for BACC and to create the first web-...
OBJECTIVES: To explore the correlation between serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) levels and the degree of fibrosis in Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD); to establish a non-invasive diagnostic algorithm based on serum GP73 a...
