BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis. The goal of this study is to develop a machine learning-based web calculator aimed at p...
BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and local infections increase the risk of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and limb amputations but are treatable by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), local wound care and antibiotic ther...
BACKGROUND: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel biomarker reflecting relative hyperglycemia, has an ...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cardiovascular issue in critically ill patients, linked to elevated mortality rates. The Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio (SHR), a novel metric of glucose control, has shown promise in predicting adverse outc...
Assessing the efficacy of radiotherapy in patients with high-grade gliomas (HGGs) is challenging due to the occurrence of pseudo-progression and radionecrosis. This study introduces a directed graph network leveraging MR image features at multiple ti...
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) remains one of the most widely used point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms for disease diagnosis, food safety assessment, and environmental monitoring. However, traditional LFAs typically require up to 30 min and offer ...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), aging acceleration (AgeAccel), and mortality in adults diagnosed with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) stages 1 to 4.
BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have improved malaria case management by enabling point-of-care confirmation of infection, particularly in low-resource settings. In addition to clinical use, RDT results recorded in health facility registers...
The time-elapsed model for neural assemblies is a nonlinear age-structured equation where the renewal term describes the network activity and influences the discharge rate, possibly with a delay due to the length of connections. We first solve a long...
BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether certain individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) derive greater cardiovascular benefit from GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). Here, we integrate individual-level data from cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) a...
