Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) site poses diagnostic challenges due to its elusive nature. Many cases of CUP manifest as pleural and peritoneal serous effusions. Leveraging cytological images from 57,220 cases at four tertiary hospitals, we develope...
Detecting the unintended adverse reactions of drugs (ADRs) is a crucial concern in pharmacological research. The experimental validation of drug-ADR associations often entails expensive and time-consuming investigations. Thus, a computational model t...
The purpose of this study was to construct deep learning models for more efficient and reliable sex estimation. Two deep learning models, VGG16 and DenseNet-121, were used in this retrospective study. In total, 600 lateral cephalograms were analyzed....
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a persistent metabolic disorder associated with the hormone insulin. The two main types of DM are type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM). Physical activity plays a crucial role in the therapy of diabetes, benefiting both types of p...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The duodenal papillae are the primary and essential pathway for ERCP, greatly determining its complexity and outcome. We investigated the association between papilla morphology and post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) and constructed a r...
BACKGROUND: Readmission within 30 days is a prevalent issue among elderly patients, linked to unfavorable health outcomes. Our objective was to develop and validate multimodal machine learning models for predicting 30-day readmission risk in elderly ...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Benign ulcerative colorectal diseases (UCDs) such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, ischemic colitis, and intestinal tuberculosis share similar phenotypes with different etiologies and treatment strategies. To accurately diag...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurately predicting the extent of lung tumor infiltration is crucial for improving patient survival and cure rates. This study aims to evaluate the application value of an improved CT index combined with serum biomarkers, ...
