OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the severity of hemifacial spasm (HFS) through quantitative measures that associated it with neurovascular contact (NVC).
BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its associated risk of adverse outcomes, particularly in patients with advanced liver fibrosis, underscores the importance of early and accurate diagnosis.

AIMS: Identification of proximal coronary artery calcium (CAC) may improve prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) beyond the CAC score, particularly in patients with low CAC burden. We investigated whether the proximal CAC can be detected ...
BACKGROUND: The Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) is an important quantitative measure of disease activity in ulcerative colitis. Colonoscopy reports in routine clinical care usually characterize ulcerative colitis disease activity using free text descr...

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebrovascular condition, the severity of which can only be determined post mortem. Here, we developed machine learning models, the Florey CAA Score (FCAAS), to predict CAA severity (none/mild/mod...
OBJECTIVES: Although deep learning has demonstrated substantial potential in automatic quantification of joint damage in RA, evidence for detecting longitudinal changes at an individual patient level is lacking. Here, we introduce and externally vali...

BACKGROUND: In dermatology, the applications of machine learning (ML), an artificial intelligence (AI) subset that enables machines to learn from experience, have progressed past the diagnosis and classification of skin lesions. A lack of systematic ...
Although the SARS-CoV-2 infection has established risk groups, identifying biomarkers for disease outcomes is still crucial to stratify patient risk and enhance clinical management. Optimal efficacy of COVID-19 antiviral medications relies on early a...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a metabolism-related chronic intestinal inflammatory disease. Disease extent is a key parameter of UC. Using serum metabolic profiling to identify noninvasive biomarkers of disease extent may inform the...
